FC Corbit marveled at how chaotic the situation was in this country. As they encircled the airport and broke into security and assault teams the Phoenix Strike Commandos made wide use of their Insect Spy miniature air vehicles for surveillance and target tagging (electronic target designation). Corbit knew the 16 members of Medusa, Bureau 24's assassination team, showed no such restraint as they spread out and begin killing government officers with their silenced rifles, pistols, knifes and remote operated mines.
His Teams now had the airport ringed and 3 platoons were ready to hit and hold the runways. He sent an encrypted message to the fleet. "Cobra 1 is ready to strike, I say again Cobra one is ready to strike. Over" Then he waited.
Nearly an hour later came a response. "Cobra 1 you are cleared to light the road. Over" Force Commander Corbit spoke in a low voice into his headset mike. "illuminate. I say again illuminate." With that command his men hit the switches forcing the electronic tags from their MAVs to transmit, other soldiers sighted in air defense, radars, command facilities and vehicles but they didn't fire live rounds. Instead they illuminated each target with the mod 3 laser designator. Overhead and 40 miles away a AWACS picked up the target coordinates from the Mod3 and shared them by the LGDF combat network. Seconds later Chimera ATF from the recently arrived Carrier Battle groups transferred targeting information from their combat networks into Tigershark Stealth Cruise Missiles while submarine crews did the same with the more powerful Seahags.
Moments later weapons streaked away from their air and submarine launching platforms at hypersonic speeds. In and around the Faranai Airport hundreds of targets had seconds to live. Literally tenths of a second separated the concussive detonations of 200 Tigershark cruise missiles on their targets. Moments later nearly 80 thermobaric 1000 lbs warheads hit every exposed position on or near the runways and ripped into each of the airports terminals, hangers and tower. So great was the deafening shockwaves that it took nearly 30 seconds for the commandos to organize their charge while the security teams provided heavy covering fire. All around equipment and bodies smoldered from the intense blast and fireballs of the cruise missiles. "We have control of objective over." As the 3 Assault platoons took defensive positions along the airport runways putting down any thing that tried to resist.
48 Jinn II UCAV ran patrol and close air support for the commandos while 80 higher flying Chimera ATF searched for enemy aircraft. 90 seconds after it begin the first C-9 transport made a vertical landing and disgorged 100 troops, a second followed with tractors to clear the runways then a dozen more with troops and Lynx Infantry Fighting Vehicles. Everything was going well thought the Force Commander but he expected from experience that Mr. Murphy would surely rear his ugly head.

With the 1000 lbs. warheads going off on or near the runways, you won't even be able to use the airport for some time while extensive repairs go on. If you want to control and capture and airfield, the best way to do it is always infantry. Artillery and missiles are nice support, but they tend to do tons of collateral damage. to give you an idea of what a thousand pound warhead can do, a 1500 pound truck bomb while i was in Iraq left a crater 20 feet in RADIUS and 6 feet deep at its epicenter. Our base was 12 miles away. The blast shook the base and knocked ceiling tiles from our dining facility. All of your men assaulting the airport would have been flattened. If they were at a good distance they probably wouldn't have been killed, but most likely would have many injuries and been deafened by the blast. I know it sounds like I'm criticizing a lot here, but I understand you probably don't have much first hand experience with weapons of this sort. Most people don't, and I hope it stays that way. I just wanted to let you know exactly how much firepower you just unleashed on a relatively small area, so that in the future you can moderate it to a level that would be more appropriate to what you are trying to accomplish.

The Supreme General also recalls the Stormshadow bombers. "Use the fleet to monitor the situation until the carriers arrive. relay new orders to the commandos. As the government has essentially fallen I want them to take an airfield so we can move larger amounts of troops in the help the freedom fighters. Also inform them that we are sending a delegation to speak with the Revolutions leaders."
"I under stand sir." Motioning to the XO communications are reopened with Koritar. "Sir, Is the port secure? I would like to dock my sub and come on a shore to talk to you."
Executive Officer LCDR Norris relays the new orders to the commando force. The orders instruct the ground pounders to capture a military airfield so that heavy ground forces can be bought in. Force Commander Corbit orders his men to move out using GPS to move towards the airbase and Miniature Air vehicles to recon a 6.2 mile circle around themselves.
At military facilities around LG C-7 and C-9 transports are loaded with troops and equipment for movement to Urstania. The new orders from the Defense Chief, approved by phone with the Chief Executive, call for the deployment of 90,000 troops to Urstania. With the troops are heavy paramilitary forces and operatives from Bureau 24.

Understand that this area is secure. We feel you should spend your efforts securing Silan and Tirest. Under your watch there have already been attacks on the utility grid in both cities. Make better use of your forces by securing those cities against further terrorism. This area is secure and we have begin to advance on the monarchist between Faranai and Silan. LGDF out.

What I can say though is he seems to be building a united force over here and that we support. We support that. These absence..Have a seat Mav, please" he motions towards a chair. " The absence of a united society is the death of Anarchism. You can't win and survive without some order. Though that doesn't have to reach the status of government certain activities have to be supported by the population for it to work." He sits down and looks at this Mav for a bit.
"Wouldn't you feel better with those new weapons the UFA have? The UFA are an organized disciplined force. An army not a mob. A well drilled militia not a gang. That is what you need to win son. Have you noticed outside. The people are safe here. There's still fighting but that fighting is at the front lines, far away and in government territory. People here are getting back to normal. Is the UFA or LG bad for that?"

"I don't know maybe he has just been busy fighting. Are you aware of the reprisals against loyalist and their supporters? Something I find especially distasteful, undisciplined and stupid. Also a means to wreck any offensive by turning the population against you. " He looks at the door then back at Mav. "Perhaps you should speak to the UFA forces out front of the airport. They could probably get you in touch with Commander Zero, should you need to arrange some sort of meeting with these leaders you mention."
"As for your own discipline you aren't an indigenous unit where as UFA is an indigenous unit. In LG we have a militia composed of everyone 12 and up. The military is completely voluntary on the other hand but it is very well disciplined and highly motivated. We would classify ourselves as A-1+ professional troops. Are Comrades Mestin and Larii Urstanian?"
