Hello, Hi. Yes.

Context: Following a two week endeavor of upgrading defenses at COP Endurance, establishing an OP, and solidifying relationships with the Northern Alliance, the next step for direct action missions is determined. Lacking the ability to effectively supply the Northern Alliance, due to ISIS being in the possession of large numbers of IGLAs, MSOT 8311 and 8321 are tasked with destroying the IGLAs in their storage facilities and removing ISIS from their camps and roadblocks. What follows is the briefing given to the TF by Mark Stanton on July 29th.

From: [email protected]<Mark Stanton> To: [email protected] <Clark Williams> Subject: ::TS:SCI::BLOODHOUND SITREP #2::TS:SCI:: //SECRET//JSOC//MARSOC Lieutenant Colonel Williams, Firstly some very good news. MSOT 8312 has made a very speedy recovery over the past three weeks. They have returned to COP Endurance and have been deployed to OP Ray as a temporary measure to ensure they are back to 100% and ready for their mission set. The combat engineers have finished up their projects at COP Endurance and OP Ray and have returned to Herat. We will be fully supplying and moving equipment to OP Ray later this week. Finally, we have received the additional TFC forces and have put them to work appropriately. We have now established a working partnership with the Northern Alliance. I have attached a full dossier of their leadership structure, which is headed up by Wadha Siani, a well liked local political figure. Two of the ODAs have been deployed to the NA FOBs and are actively training and advising their forces. The NA have responded very well to the training and are showing promise. However, they are still very under-equipped and will be unable to make any more significant progress against ISIS or the Taliban, despite their training, without sufficient equipment. We are currently unable to supply them as the roads out of COP Endurance have been heavily laced with IEDs over the last few weeks. Due to the MANPAD threat we are also unable to supply them via air. We have pinpointed the storage and distribution facilities for ISIS's IGLAs, as well as the primary ISIS positions outside of towns. Our primary focus this week will be on knocking out these positions, removing ISIS from the high ground and removing their capability for anti-aircraft launchers. Once this is accomplished I anticipate being able to effectively supply the NA with the necessary equipment. Due to this fact, I anticipate requiring an EOD detachment able to be attached to the NA and Task Force Cobra within the next one to two weeks once we begin larger conventional operations against ISIS. The sooner EOD is available, however, the easier supply and transportation will be, due to the fact I mentioned earlier of COP Endurance being blocked via roadway IEDs on all useful routes out. Finally, thank you once again for the work you did in getting the QRA in Herat. This has been a game changer over the last two weeks and has prevented casualties in both the ODAs and in the Phantom teams due to their reliable air support. Signed, Mark Stanton

From: [email protected] <Clark Williams> To: [email protected] <Mark Stanton> Subject: RE: BLOODHOUND SITREP #1 //SECRET//JSOC//MARSOC Mr. Stanton, I have made arrangements for the remainder of Task Force Cobra to be re-assigned to Operation Bloodhound. Phantom 1, ODA 1411 and ODA 1414 will fall under your purview as the operational commander for Bloodhound once they arrive. They are being replaced in their current theater but should be expected to arrive at COP Endurance on the 20th or 21st. Regarding air support priority, rotary wing assets will continue to be off limits until the operational risk associated with your AO is reduced to a manageable level. However, I have managed to get you a priority tasking for fixed wing air support from Herat. They have guaranteed that air support will be placed on Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) at your request, that can be maintained while operationally necessary for Task Force Cobra. Response time will remain about 15 minutes due to their alert status, and loiter time will be fuel dependent. No aerial refueling is available so all refueling will have to take place at Herat Airbase. That all said, please be aware that the fixed wing assets stationed in Herat are flying critical, near constant, combat operations in response to events elsewhere in country so aircraft type and number will be subject to availability. Engineers have also been assigned, per your request, and will be arriving tomorrow morning at approx. 0400 local. Ensure you have sufficient accommodations for your new assets established before you have them begin construction on your additional project. Signed, Lieutenant Colonel C. Williams Commanding Task Force Cobra

Context: After the first week in country, MSOT 8312 has been flown to a medical center in Herat to receive emergency medical treatment after their ambush by ISIS forces. During their withdrawal, one of their MRZRs was captured by ISIS and one destroyed. Just under a week later, Phantom 2 gains positive intel indicating they have successfully traced the MRZR to an ISIS regional headquarters in the town of Limar. MSOT 8321 is tasked with the recovery or destruction of this vehicle and is briefed by Mark Stanton the afternoon of July 17th. What follows is the briefing.

From: [email protected]<Mark Stanton> To: [email protected] <Clark Williams> Subject: ::TS:SCI::BLOODHOUND SITREP #1::TS:SCI:: //SECRET//JSOC//MARSOC Lieutenant Colonel Williams, Here is the SITREP you requested. During the first week in country we have accomplished the following: Established contact with embedded CIA Assets. Conducted reconnaissance on Taliban positions, ISIS positions, and Northern Alliance positions. Determined the headquarters of the Northern Alliance. Established initial communications with Northern Alliance leadership. Stopped the sale of 150 IGLA launchers originating from RHINESTONE. Of note - The Northern Alliance appears to have begun re-purposing ANA uniforms as a standard for their personnel. We have yet to complete a full dossier on their leadership and structure, however, we believe this to be a consequence of one Raashid Ibn-Ahmed who is a local, former, ANA commander. Three direct action missions were attempted. The first stopped the aforementioned sale of IGLAs however RHINESTONE, we believe, escaped into Turkmenistan with a small bodyguard. The second resulted an entire MSOT becoming critically wounded and flown to Herat for medical treatment. This, we believe, was a result of improper movement in field and a significantly more organized, more trained, and greater numbered ISIS force than was initially anticipated. The final resulted in a mission failure due to what is believed to be bad intel on our part. As a consequence, BLOODSTONE appears to be either employing body doubles and/or more sophisticated covert methods of movement than intel has previously indicated. The near catastrophic MSOT engagement could have been solved with air-support had it been available for tasking. Task Force Cobra will need a higher priority for aviation requests if we are to be effective given our current situation. Additionally, with one MSOT down for the immediate future we are under strength for the task we have been assigned. I would request that the remaining assets for Task Force Cobra be re-assigned to Operation Bloodhound to have our full operational capacity available. Finally, please put in a request for Army Engineers to be temporarily deployed to COP Endurance. I intend to establish a permanent forward position to secure our position more effectively. Please see my attachment for the outlines and additional information regarding that request. Signed, Mark Stanton

MFW the people who abandoned the 3d come strolling back after seeing that @Capt Whelan kept it alive

Squad MG please

LMAO thank you for that XD The sad thing too is that I recognized that particular field INSTANTLY.

From: [email protected] <Thomas Godfrey> To: [email protected] <Sean Whelan> CC: [email protected] <Clark Williams> Subject: ::TS:SCI::JOINT TASK FORCE ASSIGNMENT::TS:SCI:: //SECRET//JSOC//MARSOC Captain, I'm pleased to inform you that your company has been selected to be a part of a new joint USSOCOM/CIA initiative being formally referred to as Task Force Cobra. This task force will be comprised of Alpha Company, 3d MRB; Alpha Company, 4th Battalion, 1st SFG; a 160th SOAR Detachment, and two CIA SOG teams. The purpose of this task force is to provide a standing special operations force capable of rapid deployment across the world to conduct complex or large scale special operations missions, harmoniously with the CIA, in environments too complex for regular SOCOM conventions. The mission set that will be undertaken by Task Force Cobra has previously necessitated the creation of single use task forces comprised of forces under the same chain of command, that then interfaces with whatever CIA assets were in field at a particular AO. With Task Force Cobra you will be working alongside and through the same CIA assets in order to increase effectiveness and enable more rapid response times to global crisis. The Task Force will also be training together during downtime to maximize the effectiveness of coordinating complex special operations missions within each of your respective skill sets. As part of this change you are being reassigned under Lieutenant Colonel Clark Williams who will be the commander for Task Force Cobra and will report directly to USSOCOM Headquarters. That said, you will retain your normal structure on paper as being Alpha Company of the 3d MRB for the sake of operational security for the duration of the task force. If, for whatever reason, the task force must be terminated, you will be reassigned back into your normal command structure. Additionally, as part of this change, the entire task force will be issued AOR1 Uniforms, Multicam Uniforms, and Multicam Black in addition to the regular combat uniforms patterns, to allow you to blend in with attached forces as needed and be flexible enough for any mission set needed by the CIA or USOCOM. Your first assignment will be in Northern Afghanistan where Task Force Cobra has been tasked with disrupting enemy operations, establishing contact with The Northern Alliance and determining the viability of using them as allies, as well as preparing the way for coalition forces to retake the area. This operation is being labeled as Operation Bloodhound and will be viewed as a test bed to determine the initial effectiveness of Task Force Cobra. Have your company ready to move by 0300 on July 9th. You will be flown into the City of Herat and will then be forward deployed to COP Endurance where you will be briefed by the CIA. Signed, General Thomas A. Godfrey III Commanding United States Special Operations Command

U.S. Embassy on Altis Evacuated Due Terrorist Takeover The Grand Central Times - Dateline May 16th 2019 President Moore gives a statement on the disposition of U.S. Citizens on the Republic of Altis and Stratis The political unrest on the small island Republic of Altis and Stratis took a sharp turn for the worse yesterday after AAF forces fired on a crowd of civilians. In the ensuing chaos, militant groups across the island used the opportunity to seize territory and take control of both the capital and the Altis International Airport. The U.S. Ambassador reportedly ordered a full evacuation of U.S. personnel before the capital was taken and their evacuation began in earnest. Meanwhile the militants were seizing territory at an alarming rate, catching the very well equipped, but poorly trained, AAF off guard. As of this writing, the AAF has reportedly taken back the South Eastern tip of the island, but still does not have control of a majority of their territory. The White House has confirmed today that all U.S. Personnel on the island have been successfully evacuated and that a nearby U.S. Carrier Task Force has been assigned to the area to provide aid and air-support to the Island Nation. President Moore also confirmed that due to U.S. Travel Advisories no other U.S. Citizens were present on the island when the militant takeover occurred. The President used the opportunity to remind the American public to be careful when traveling overseas and to always consult the travel advisories and take extra precautions, or cancel trips, if needed. The President did not take any questions after giving his statements. The sudden takeover of the small island republic has raised some questions among strategic thinkers. Military experts speculate that an outside source may have been involved in funding, coordinating, or supplying the militant forces which took over the island in a matter of hours. (Ret.) SSG Thomas Lee, former U.S. Army Green Beret and author of the New York Times best selling book "Winning Battles on Two Fronts: A soldiers guide to life at home and on deployment" stated "Nations, especially small ones, don't have large numbers of well trained militants sitting around just waiting for an opportunity to take over the whole place. Seeing something like that should start making people ask a lot of questions about who might be behind those groups because an event like the one that just took place on Altis does not happen naturally. Even if public order has gotten so low that the military kills a bunch of civilians." Despite Lee's comments, the small island republic seems to hold very little strategic influence for any countries opposed to western democracy. It's hard to imagine who or what would want to fund an uprising there. To what end? Could it be related to the escalating tensions on the border of Iraq and Iran? For now we will just have to wonder.

Context: Immediately after arriving on the carrier group at 1745 IGT, set to arrive at its final position in Altis at 1845 IGT, MSOTs 8313 and 8321 are briefed alongside their attached CJSOAC Headquarters by General Thomas Godfrey. He details the situation on the island, the disposition of U.S. Personnel on the island, and gives the MSOTs mission tasking. At the conclusion of the briefing at 1820 IGT MSOT 8313 is told to prepare to step off immediately to track down their mission objective. MSOT 8321 is told that they will be stepping off as soon as the sun goes down, approximately 1945 IGT. What follows is the briefing itself.
