Here is the situation:
A Rhodesian patrol deploys to conduct a raid on a suspected ZANU facility
The year is 2037. The government of Rhodesia (formerly Zimbabwe) is currently a presidential-parliamentary hybrid, ruled by many parties in Rhodesia's lexicon, and enjoys healthy support from the urban population. However, some of the rural lands of Rhodesia still support the ZANU, and often clash with government police and troops. The ZANU were banned from representation in Parliament during the rising of the new government dues to being deemed terrorist group. However, that did not stop the ZANU from retreating to sparsely populated locations or rural villages, and seeking vengeance of the government that have uprooted them from power. The ZANU have been conducting small attacks on public areas and government offices in major cities, and are able to retreat to the rural countryside.
The urban cities of Unara, Bulawayo, and Gweru enjoy heavy policing, though some attacks on government offices and public marketplaces have occurred. However, the Rhodesian government is still trying to play catch-up with the dismay left from the last government on rural areas, including lack of policing, administration, and basic needs such as electricity, sewage, running water, etc. Rural towns often become a safe haven for ZANU troops, disappearing into the populace of the town when the army does roll in.
ZANU Insurgents, August 1st, 2037
Above is a map outling the current insurgency conflict. Yellow represents increased terrorist activity within the last two years, including excessive crime. Red outlines suspected and known hiding locations and encampments for terrorist(including ZANU) company-size elements or larger. Blue represents military centers, such as Forts, Air Force Bases, and SAC Task Force locations.
Currently, in addition to deploying troops internationally for humanitarian roles, the military of Rhodesia has been deployed to squash the insurgency. The Rhodesian military is currently focusing on counterinsurgency in Hwange National Park, and near the border around Lusaka. Army helicopters search the wood line for terrorist camps and targets of opportunity. What is needed is your government's stance and how they may play a part in this conflict. Do you stand with the government of the growing nation, or do you still support the Marxist ideals under Mugabe? If you wish to deploy troops, how many, and what role would they play, and what would your ORBAT look like? The government is hoping to avoid another Bush War by squashing the insurrection quickly with international aid.
Rules:
1. No god modding
2. Military numbers and population should be relative and not overwhelmingly excessive
3. Please let me know in advance if you seek to invade (though that isn't really the point)
4. PMT, Technology only one generation or so than current standards. Imagine our stuff, but slightly better. No rocket ships or laser beams
5. There's pizza at the end
