WARNING ORDER

SITUATION: In the aftermath of Venezuelan forces taking several American sailors hostage and their rescue by 8312 Viking from an offshore oil rig, Venezuelan missile batteries attempted to engage the oil rig. The USS Liberty was able to intercept the missiles, but this cannot go unanswered. Washington has authorized a proportional response against the missile battery from the Arlington ARG.

The 13th IB is a combined arms mechanized force with BMP-3s, BTR-80As, T-72B1s, and light artillery support.
