OPERATION MUGHAL

Prepared By: Cpt. Luke van Kovschek.

AREA(S) OF OPERATION Kabul, Afghanistan

BACKGROUND

With the majority of NATO troops pulled out of Afghanistan in early July, 2021, the Taliban launched a massive offensive against the Afghan government and made considerable gains. While a few holdouts remain besieged in cities throughout the country, the majority of Afghan security forces have been routed and have fallen back to mount a last ditch defence of Kabul. Afghan security forces currently hold approximately half of the city, but are surrounded by Taliban on all sides. Defeat is nearly inevitable at this point, however Afghan security forces are mounting an uncharacteristically fierce defensive.

Unfortunately, the hasty and ahead of schedule pullout left sensitive NATO intel in Afghanistan before it could be properly recovered or destroyed. With no national armed forces willing to send their SOF back to Afghanistan to recover this intel before it can fall into the hands of the Taliban or other bad actors, NATO has deployed Task Force Aegis to do so. Other regional powers such as Russia, China, India, Iran, and Pakistan have SOF operating in Afghanistan for similar purposes, and in the case of Russia, China and Pakistan to recover NATO intel. ROE on these forces will be elaborated on in the faction report below. If a site cannot be entered due to hostile fire, Aegis is authorized to scrub sites of intel via airstrike from Turkish or Afghan aircraft.

OBJECTIVES

PRIMARY
Recover or destroy sensitive NATO intel at the following locations (NOTE: Other locations may be added as the mission progresses)
- US Embassy
- British Embassy
- Former ISAF headquarters
- Afghan Ministry of Defence
- Afghan National Police Headquarters
- National Directorate of Security Headquarters
- ToloTV Offices
- Home of Afghan envoy to NATO
- Presidential Palace
- Camp Morehead


SECONDARY
- Secure Russian intel if possible
- Secure Chinese intel if possible
- Assist other BLUFOR forces if possible
- Raid PLASOF ops center if found

PRESENT FACTIONS

Friendly Forces (BLUFOR)
Afghan National Army - The remnants of the 201st Corps of the ANA have consolidated with other routed ANA units to defend Kabul. Alongside them, Afghan special forces in the form of the 1st Commando Brigade, National Mission Brigade, and Ktah Khas are assisting in the defence of Kabul. ANA has access to armoured fighting vehicles in the from of M1117 Armoured Security Vehicles, M113 APCs, and a very small number of T-62 MBTs. ANA combat personnel have been bolstered by officer cadets and personnel in non combat jobs being given rifles and sent to the front. ANA has a limited amount of air support in the from of A-29 Super Tucanos, AH-6 light attack helicopters, and Mi-24 gunships, although with Hamid Karzai International Airport being so close to the front they are extremely vulnerable to ground fire and CAS may not be available forever.

Afghan National Police - A large number of regular officers have defected to the Taliban. However, a not insignificant number have remained loyal to the NATO backed government and have organized themselves into fighting units. They are bolstered by the Crisis Response Unit (Commando Force 222), Afghan Special Narcotics Force (Commando Force 333), and Afghan National Civil Order Police.

National Directorate of Security - The national intelligence agency of Afghanistan which has a large number of special operations personnel under its command. NDS special forces are also participating in the defence of Kabul.

Popular Mobilization Units - Anti-Taliban Afghan civilians who have taken up arms. Many ex-military are among them, although some of the ex-military are old enough that they served in the communist Afghan army. However many are regular civilians with no formal military training. International fighters are amongst their ranks, mainly Afghan diaspora from Europe and a small number of NATO veterans.

Women's Protection Units - Inspired by the YPJ in Syria, groups of Afghan women have taken up arms. They are more willing to die than return to life under Taliban rule. Some are former security forces members, including former special operations personnel. However most members have a complete lack of military training. Taliban chatter suggests that they, along with female security forces personnel, are mounting some of the toughest resistance.

Turkish Armed Forces - When American troops pulled out, Turkish troops deployed to Afghanistan to secure Hamid Karzai International Airport. Ground troops have mostly pulled out save for squadron of Maroon Berets who are in the AO to provide targeting for Turkish F-16s and Bayraktar TB2 drones operating in support of Afghan troops. They have already scrubbed the Turkish embassy of intel via JDAM strike. Aegis may be able to request air support from Turkish aircraft if necessary.

Indian Army - India has deployed a company of Para SF to assist the ANA, acting on intel that Pakistani special forces are working with the Taliban. They will also attempt to scrub the Indian embassy of intel before Pakistani forces can reach the Indian embassy. Alongside Para SF, India has deployed a smaller number of Garud Commandos from the Air Force to function as combat controllers for what remains of the Afghan Air Force.

Hostile Forces (OPFOR)
Taliban - Have made rapid gains in recent months and are on the verge of regaining control over Afghanistan, with only whatever resistance government forces in Kabul can muster standing in their way. Their equipment has been bolstered with captured US equipment and they are able to operate light armour in the form of the M1117 Armoured Security Vehicle as captured from Afghan forces. Been on alert for the Red Unit, elite Taliban fighters which may include Afghan special forces defectors, and are equipped with night vision, thermal weapon sights, and sound suppressors.

Pakistan Armed Forces - Are known to be assisting Taliban. All Pakistani Armed Forces personnel in Afghanistan are from the Special Service Group, so expect a high level of training and equipment on par with that of our own. Aegis is weapons free on Pakistan Armed Forces personnel.

Inter-Services Intelligence - The Pakistani intelligence service. Personnel are on the ground and are likely to be on the hunt for NATO intel to give to China, as well as any intel from Indian facilities. Weapons free on ISI personnel.

People's Liberation Army Special Operations Forces - China has deployed approximately a company sized force of operators from the Oriental Sword Special Warfare Group of the Beijing Military Region to Afghanistan to search for both NATO and Russian intel, and assist Afghan forces in the hopes they may become a Chinese client state in the future. Afghans decided they trust the Chinese even less than the Americans or the Soviets and Afghan security forces began firing on Chinese SOF, forcing them to pull out of their former ops center at the Chinese embassy. PLA SOF are now hostile to all other armed groups in the area (including Pakistani forces despite Pakistan being a Chinese ally) and are continuing to conduct their mission to search for NATO and Russian intel. Terminate with extreme prejudice.


Independent Forces (INDFOR)
Liwa Fatemiyoun - A militia of Afghan Shiites recruited by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to fight in Syria, they've returned to their homeland to prevent a Taliban takeover. They're actively cooperating with Afghan troops but we have no intel as to how they may react to NATO forces. Only fire upon in self defence.

Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps - The IRGC has deployed two companies of Saberin commandos to Kabul. These are battle hardened troops from operations in Iraq and Syria and have access to modern equipment. They have been ordered to defend the Iranian embassy and assist Afghan security forces. There is a possibility they may try to search for NATO intel but we're unsure if they've yet made any attempts to do so. They are only to be fired on in self defence or if caught snooping around our objective areas.

Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) - The SVR has deployed the Spetsnaz unit Zaslon to Kabul for much the same reason Aegis is deploying. Zaslon has equivalent equipment to NATO special operations forces. We are not to fire on Russian forces if they do not fire upon us. Exception will be made if Russians are caught snooping in any of our objective areas. ROE subject to change. Russians and Afghan security forces are operating on friendly terms at the moment.

Special Operations Forces of the Russian Federation (SSO) - Approximately 150 SSO operators have been sent to assist Zaslon in their tasks, and like Zaslon has equivalent equipment to NATO special operations forces. Same ROE applies for all Russian forces.

OPERATION BLIND HEART

Prepared By: Cpt. Luke van Kovschek.

AREA(S) OF OPERATION - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - 24°27'22.6"N 54°22'28.2"E


BACKGROUND

//SECRET//
150600z JUL 10 - FLASH
TO: COMMANDING OFFICER TASK FORCE AEGIS
FROM: NATOHIGHCOM 'JUPITER'
SUBJ: OPERATION BLIND HEART

1. SITREP
As ISIL presence continues to decline in the Iraq/Kurdistan region, Iraqi forces have reported a proliferation of chemical and biological agent attacks in the last few weeks, almost tripling Iraqi security force casualties and setting a worrying precedent for the future security of the region. Previous intelligence suggested that ISIL had access to caches of mustard and chlorine gases that were leftover from the end of the Iraq War. Though more recent attacks have suggested the use of a much more complex and deadly chemical weapon similar in nature to Sarin or VX nerve agents, being used against military and civilian targets alike. U.S Special Forces leftover in the region have been unable to locate the perpetrators nor recover any items related to the production or deployment of such weapons, though interception of ISIL telecommunications and couriers suggest they are receiving shipments via Iran and the caucasus.

After following a lengthy electronica and paper trail we believe that radicalistic elements from within Fedir Tachovinsky's regime have been selling such weapons through the black market and have been trickling over the border for months, disguised as aid shipments, raids conducted by U.S SOF in Baku and the Shahbuz region of Armenia have revealed very little intelligence to go off but have led us to two individuals of interest.

We have a positive ID on the ISIL representative responsible for overseeing the transaction of their side of things. Khatteb Ali Al-Fuani, Syrian born, British Citizen who graduated from Oxford with a Doctorate in economics, we believe he has been using dirty oil money stored in offshore funds to cover the cost of purchasing and transporting the gas, as well as any expenditures to keep the whole operation under wraps. The seller, is currently unknown, all we know is that they are of Ukranian nationality and operate under the moniker of 'Quicksilver', and is a very wealthy individual, possibly having ties to Gorbachev Era Soviet Russia and the current Russian oligarchy, though nothing can be confirmed.

More recent intercepted communications have revealed that 'Quicksilver' is to meet with Al-Fuani later next week inside the Bab-al-Qasr hotel, located within Abu-Dhabi. This gives us an opportunity to nab both targets in one fell swoop, though because this operation violates the integrity of the UAE and is outside NATO jurisdiction, we cannot go in all-guns blazing.

2. INTEL
The Bab-Al-Qasr hotel is to host a social function this coming Tuesday, celebrating the birthday of Abduraab Al-din, the Son of wealthy oil baron Aminuddin Al-Din, in attendance will be a plethora of wealthy Saudi princes, rich international oligarchs and other such socialites. Security measures are going to be stringent and water tight not just around the hotel, but in Abu-Dhabi proper. The hotel's normal security is to be replaced by a mixture of Al-Din's private guard and hired international contractors, additional measures include metal detectors, drone overwatch and bomb-sniffer dogs at most entrances and exits. The Hotel itself is a 37 story building that is yet to open to the public due to renovation, it's 677 rooms will be remaining rather empty and devoid of civilian presence other than the guests who will mostly be in and around the building grounds, with areas other than the gardens, pool and function room being strictly off limits to anyone other than security detail and hotel staff.

Matters are further complicated by the fact that the party is an invite only ordeal, which is to be expected, however these invites are not just handed out to everyone and so fake documentation and invitations could only be fabricated for five individuals, at the expense of some probably very dismayed party-goers.

3. Execution.

In the days prior to the party, it may be necessary to conduct some reconnaissance and assess the building grounds, noting points of entry, exit and locations of interest that may include any security rooms, safe spots and vantage points. At the risk of being spotted, it may also pay to plant weapon caches within the hotel grounds for later use, prepare entry or exit strategies, plant bugs and generally prepare for the operation. On the day, five operators of Team Alpha will enter the party -unarmed- with their invitations and mingle with the partygoers, all the while attempting to ID Al-Fuani and who he seems to meet with. The party official opens it's doors at 1100 local, proceedings planned to continue on well into the night with no set finish, allowing some flexibility in the plan. Remember we need both Al-Fuani and Quicksilver so it may take some time and it's doubtful the two will conduct their business in the open so keep an eye out.

Meanwhile, Team Bravo will remain on standby in a support capacity, monitoring the situation from outside the party, ready to intervene if necessary. Though remember, causing a scene will probably make things a whole lot more complicated and so, they must remain unseen. Once you have both targets in custody, you are to extract them to the Emirates Palace Marine roughly 1km away from the hotel where Team Alpha will extract with the targets via boat. Ideally, no shots are to be fired. Though it's noted that extracting both Quicksilver and Al-Fuani won't be easy once they are detained and so, if the plan goes loud, speed is of the essence.

4. Rules of Engagement
You are not authorized to open fire upon local forces or security forces, unless the present an immediate danger to the life of any Aegis operator or either package. Minimise casualties as much as possible, especially in such close proximity to civilians.

5. Additional Notes
Smuggling weapons into the hotel may be possible, but dubious and incredibly risky due to the use of multiple metal detectors and sniffer dogs. It's probably wiser to sneak in beforehand and plant weapons for easy retrieval if things go south. This also goes for any body armor, load bearing gear or other equipment.

Team Alpha will have backstories made up to match the invitation, though are minimalist and barebones and so those operators infiltrating may be required to think quickly on their feet. Remember, Al-Fuani and Quicksilver may be there for a while so waiting for the most opportune moment to strike is advisable.

OPERATION GREENHORN

Prepared By: Cpt. Luke van Kovschek.

AREA(S) OF OPERATION

Northern Iraq

BACKGROUND

SITREP
For years, Iraq and Syria have been hotspots of Islamic Jihadists and Insurgencies. Recently, another insurgency has began making it's presence known, with constant attacks on Peshmerga and the Iraqi Army. Known as the Islamic Liberation Front, they are led by a man claiming to be the second coming of the prophet Mohammed, known as Mohammed Bin-Sagdi (Real name Jabar Hagav). He has rallied up former ISIL fighters, devout Muslims, and people who dislike the secular government under one banner. At about the same time, ISIL began using poison gas on Iraqi soldiers. The ILF has been contained effectively until about a month ago, when T-54 tanks began appearing in their armies. Along with this, they have begun using AK-74s, instead of the usual AK-47s or AKMs. Interrogation of a captured ILF commander revealed that they received their new armaments from a man named Ivan Kolygavich ("WHIRLWIND"), a close friend of Mohammed Bin-Sagdi's.

INTEL
After spending two weeks trying to pinpoint both Whirlwind and Mohammed Bin-Sagdi, the MI6, in collaboration with the CIA and BND, have managed to pinpoint both of their locations. Mohammed Bin-Sagdi is currently at the ILF's main training camp in Mosul with his second in command, Abdus Salam, to watch the newest group of ILF fighters complete training and the ensuing ceremony, while Whirlwind is closing out a business deal with an ILF representative in Duhok. How Whirlwind acquires these weapons is unknown, so it is imperative that he must be captured for interrogation by trained interrogators. While both of the ILF's leaders must be killed to cripple the ILF.

EXECUTION
By killing Bin-Sagdi, the ILF will lose it's public face, and by killing Abdus Salam, it's tactical leader, and it is imperative that both of these men are killed at the same time. It is recommended that Whirlwind is captured first, as he may be able to provide intel on Mohammed Bin-Sagdi's security due to his relationship with him. Whirlwind and the ILF representative are protected by 30 Alpha Force mercenaries and a roughly company-sized element of ILF fighters, there to help transport the weapons shipment. Whirlwind and the ILF representative will meet in a parking lot in Duhok at 2300 hours local time. It is suspected that the shipment may contain up to 5000 AK-74s, transported by trucks, along with an order placed for 50 T-54 Main Battle Tanks to be delivered later. There is a possibility chemical weapons may be contained in the shipment, so approach with caution. Mohammed Bin-Sagdi and Abdus Salam are protected by a platoon sized element, along with a company of new recruits present. Bin-Sagdi and Salam also may have firearms on their person, so killing them will not be easy. Teams from ISOF-1 will assist in the capture of Whirlwind and the killing of Bin-Sagdi and Salam. Duhok is isolated from other government forces, while Mosul is partially Insurgent controlled, so government help may be scarce.

OBJECTIVES

PRIMARY
Kill Mohammed Bin-Sagdi
Kill Abdus Salam
Capture Whirlwind

SECONDARY
Destroy/Capture Weapons Shipments
Investigate for poison gas stores related to recent ISIL attacks

PRESENT FACTIONS

Friendly Forces (BLUFOR)

Iraqi Army-
The Military of the Republic of Iraq, who are currently struggling to keep control of their northern provinces. Funded by members of the 2003 coalition and armed with M16a1s, with T-72 and M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks serving as their armored force, and miniscule amounts of air support from the undersized Iraqi Air Force.

Iraqi Special Operations Forces, ISOF 1-
Created in 2005, the Iraqi Special Operations forces are the premier Iraqi counter-terrorism unit. They are armed with M4A1 Carbines, along with various sniper rifles, including the Barrett M82 and Mk 14 EBR. ISOF 1, known as "The Golden Division" consists of commando, ICTF, support, and recon brigades.

Israeli Air Force-
Due to the ILF's inherent hostility to other religions, with the most hostility toward Judaism, the IDF has a vested interest in fighting the ILF. The IAF is a well-trained, well-equipped force, armed with F-16 Fighter Jets and small amounts of F-35 Lightning 2s, along with Apache Attack Helicopters and UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.

Popular Mobilization Forces
A government-supported civilian militia raised to fight ISIL. Equipped with AKMs, with little training, though most have experience in other conflicts.

Peshmerga-
The security force of Kurdistan. Due to Iraqi laws forbidding the army to enter Kurdistan, they are nearly the only force maintaining law and order in the region. Arguably better armed than the Iraqi Army.

Hostile Forces (OPFOR)

Islamic Liberation Front-
A group of radical jihadist fighters hell-bent on enforcing Sharia Law in the middle east and ridding the area of secularism and other religions. Armed with Cold-War era equipment, with some recently acquired T-54s. Numbers are unknown, but are growing at a rapid speed. There is a possibility that they possess poison gas, in relation with recent ISIL attacks.

ISIL Remnants-
The last members of the Islamic State refuse to give up their fight against the Iraqi government. Armed with AK-47s and not much else. Very little training, but are experts in guerrilla warfare. Watch out for ambushes.

Alpha Force-
A group of German mercenaries (officially "Private Military Contractors"), hired by Whirlwind to protect him from external threats. Work extensively with both Whirlwind and the ILF. Equipped with Ak 5c Assault Rifles, along with Level 4 Body Armor (This is all present on their website), while intel suggests they are also in possession of RPG 7s. They've worked with both NATO and Insurgent forces in the past, so most have extensive experience with and have knowledge of both conventional and guerrilla tactics.

Took a bit of liberty with the equipment and gave her the Croatian home designed service pistol, let me know if that's not acceptable. Besides that I apologize for any glaring mistakes, all of my information has come from Google.

TASK FORCE AEGIS MILITARY PERSONNEL FILE CONFIDENTIAL - DESTROY UPON COMPROMISE
"Task Force Aegis" is a "Research & Development" Department of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Basic Information
Name: Mirjana "Merge" Višnjić
Appearance: Taller and heavier than most women at 6'2 and 190 pounds, Merge is well-built from her time spent on the farm and in the gym. (Art made by https://syro.artstation.com/)
Gender: Female
Date of Birth: January 4th, 1989 Age 32
Nationality: Croatian
Place of Birth: Novigrad, SR Croatia
Strengths:

• Close-Quarters: Made strong by farm life and skilled with her knives Mirjana is a very dangerous opponent in CQC. She is more than capable of holding her own in a brawl and welcomes the opportunity to spar with anyone she can cajole into the ring.
• Quick Thinking: With every plan comes the possibility of something going wrong and in Merge's experience that might as well mean that every plan will go wrong. She's gotten very good at adapting to situations as they come up, creating cover stories and formulating new courses of action on a moment's notice.
• Physical Specimen: A lot of hard work went into not just maintaining but increasing her strength and endurance. Mirjana is quite capable of marching of making a forced march through rugged terrain with her gear and can outlift, outrun and outperform most people.
• Multi-Faceted: Living on a run-down farmstead where much of your food is sourced through hunting requires one to be good (or at least competent) at a number of different things. Besides her specific military training Merge is a competent journeyman when it comes to performing repairs, surviving in the wild and performing first aid. She's no licensed mechanic, lifelong mountain man or accredited doctor but she can jury-rig repairs, keep her wits about her in rough terrain and can stop someone from immediately bleeding to death.

Weaknesses:

• Insomnia: The mild concussions, odd sleeping schedule and combat stress that comes with the territory of being an operator eventually manifested into chronic insomnia. While Merge can power through bouts of sleeplessness with caffeine and other stimulants doing so will obviously have negative effects on her mood and effectiveness, issues that will compound with long stretches out in the field.
• Fatalistic: Predictions of doom and off-color jokes about everyone is fucked in the long run abound with Mirjana. Depending on whose asking and what mode she's in she describes this as either her sense of humor or merely a realistic outlook. This can form a vicious cycle where as more things begin to go wrong the more she will point out the obvious.
• Thalassophobia : The fear of deep bodies of water. Mirjana has a mild case which means that while she won't break down or fly into an uncontrollable panic, she doesn't do well on boats. Not really a problem in the urban specialized unit she's from, perhaps more of one in the wider scope Aegis program.

Military Information

Dislikes:

• Alcohol
• Snow
• Hardasses during downtime
• Lack of professionalism in the field

Fears:Torture, Deep water
Personality: Loyal to her team but perhaps more interested in the experience of being in special forces than she is the geopolitical outcomes. Merge is intelligent and laid back, preferring to deal with things as they come than to spend a great deal of energy trying to account for each and every possible outcome. This expresses itself in the form of her mostly tongue-in-cheek sense of doom and gloom, a healthy dose of pessimism sometimes permeating her conversations. This can give the appearance that she's resigned to her fate but that's far from the reality of her personality. She simply feels that if she expects things to go wrong then if they don't it's a pleasant surprise and if they do she won't be caught off-guard.
Immediate Family:

• Vesna Višnjić-Mother
• Branko Višnjić-Father

Biography: Mirjana was born into a family of Croatian peasants, the newest in a line of farmers and butchers who could trace their lineage in the region back to the 1500s. Her birth came during troubled times. Little more than a month later the USSR left Afghanistan and by November the Berlin Wall was being torn down. The Year of Revolutions would lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union and then Yugoslavia soon after. Only a toddler during the Croatian Independence War Mirjana was mostly kept in the dark about it. Her parents understandably did not wish for her to see the violence going on in their country, they didn't tell her about the deaths of cousins she had never met or explained why her grandparents had fled for the United States. As she got older it was obviously impossible to miss the fact that some violent change had occurred but Mirjana's whole world was mostly the family farm.

As soon as she could walk she was taught to ride, accompanying her father on hunting trips and helping him make the rounds on their property as he repaired fences and tended to the livestock. Traditionally this kind of work was always done by the men of the Višnjić clan but since Mirjana was the only child it fell to her to learn how to manage a homestead. In addition to her normal schooling she was also trained as a butcher, working part time in her uncle's shop for a bit of pocket money. Life moved slowly but safely, the biggest catastrophe of her early years the loss of a particularly favored horse. Despite high school being optional and the fact that she was learning a valuable trade Mirjana still opted to attend secondary education. There she found that while she was intelligent and more than capable of grasping subjects ranging from classical languages to natural science, continuing down the path of education didn't suit her. Mirjana dropped out at sixteen and didn't look back. She was more at home doing physical labor around the farm or working with her uncle. At the same time she didn't want to stay around the home for much longer, a natural restless she had always possessed pushing her to go out into the world.

The next logical step was to join the army. But since she wouldn't be able to sign up until she was sixteen meant that she had time to prepare. She practiced shooting with her father's old rifle and revolver and put work into increasing her physical capabilities. There were plenty of stones to lift, bales to throw and lots of wild country where she could spend a week or so practicing her bushcraft. By the time she reached enlistment age Mirjana was easily able to blow past the required level of fitness. She went through basic training and was assigned to the 2nd Mechanized Battalion as a machine gunner with which she was sent to Afghanistan as part of the US-led War on Terror.

While in the Sandbox her main duty was to assist with the training of local forces alongside interpreters and experts from a variety of nations but saw combat a number of times. The first instance of hostile gunfire nearly killed her from fright alone but faced with the choice of handling the situation or failing her team, she choose the former. Her first tour of duty was where the child playing soldier matured into a professional, a watershed moment that she would look back on fondly even as it took a toll on her ability to rest.

After returning home she spent some time kicking around with friends and family before being reassigned to work on the homefront. The safety and security of European bases quickly got old after her experience in Afghanistan. Seeking a role that would make her feel like she was doing something again Mirjana signed up with the Special Operations Battalion. She passed through the selection process and became one of the few women in such a role, specializing in urban environments and counter-terrorism operations. After becoming a Cobra she was assigned to Kosovo where she worked with KFOR on raids against high-danger targets.

In late 2014 the Battalion was reformed into Special Forces Command. Mirjana got grandfathered in and sent back to Afghanistan to take part in Operation Resolute Support. Her work there was similar to what she had been doing in Kosovo and she earned a reputation for being driven and dependable. Having found what she was good at she had no intent of leaving the force, reenlisting every time her deployment ended until Croatia left Afghanistan in 2020. Reassigned back home yet again Mirjana was looking into work in a private military company when she was contacted by a supposed development wing of NATO...
Past RP Examples:

When she had agreed to go out on patrol with a bunch of full on red white and blue American Army Rangers Mirjana had prepared herself for a day of overbearing arrogance and too loud conversations. The Ugly American was famous in Europe and indeed around the world for its crassness, its refusal to look past its own bloated belly and see the world from the perspective of anything other than an overbearing glutton. Her experiences with tourists who came to her hometown to experience rustic charm yet spit their gum and threw their trash around was enough for to conclude that the stereotype was totally correct in all cases.

And yet here she was twelve hours into the patrol and she had yet to find herself hating them. That wasn't to say they weren't braggadocious jackasses or in any way cared about how they presented themselves. But Mirjana couldn't bring herself to begrudge them this because that was the kind of person she was now, at least in part. She had spent enough time in the Special Forces Battalion and now the Command that she was one of them, a cut above the normal grunts and with the ego to prove it. Were all spec ops types like this? Or was she simply one of the more assholish ones?

The moment of self-reflection as the shitbox HMMWV she was stuffed in hit something in the road, the suspension not nearly enough to keep her from bouncing painfully into the burly Americans she was sandwiched between.

"What the fuck was that?"

The driver was the one who asked which was a little annoying since he should have seen it. And evidently Mirjana wasn't the only one who thought so as the Ranger in the passenger seat punched his comrade in the arm.
"You fucking hit it you dickhead! What the fuck do you mean 'what was that'?"

The Croat snickered as she rubbed her arm where someone's elbow had jammed itself into her side, trying without much success to stare past a man-shaped mountain of Kevlar through the dust covered window. "Considering we're not currently chunks of flesh in twisted wreckage, probably not an IED. Just a rock or something."

And she thanked God for it. The ride had been boring as hell thus far, the men in the mountains with AKs and RPGs not having made an appearance. The only thing around was sand, sand, and yet more fucking sand. The sudden jolt was like a gift from the heavens, a momentary distraction from crushing ennui.

"A shame really, a nice bomb blast would probably wipe out this stench." The Texan on her other side drawled. "You guys reek!"

And so did he but that was besides the point. He was just bitching for the sake of bitching as they all did, passing the time by complaining about things that couldn't change until they got back to base and a shower.

"Hey don't worry cowboy, there'll be plenty of chances yet. Could get ambushed when we stop to piss and if so, I'll hold you still so they get a good shot."

The Texan flicked one of the thousand little bits of debris rattling around on the floor at her, the stone shard bouncing off her nose. "Fuck you too Merge."

Merge. The nickname the Yankees used because her real one was too complicated. She used to hate it but now... well she didn't like it but as far as nicknames go she had heard and called people much worse. It was bearable.

What more could she expect in life?

Took a bit of liberty with the equipment and gave her the Croatian home designed service pistol, let me know if that's not acceptable. Besides that I apologize for any glaring mistakes, all of my information has come from Google.

TASK FORCE AEGIS MILITARY PERSONNEL FILE CONFIDENTIAL - DESTROY UPON COMPROMISE
"Task Force Aegis" is a "Research & Development" Department of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Basic Information
Name: Mirjana "Merge" Višnjić
Appearance: Taller and heavier than most women at 6'2 and 190 pounds, Merge is well-built from her time spent on the farm and in the gym. (Art made by https://syro.artstation.com/)
Gender: Female
Date of Birth: January 4th, 1989 Age 32
Nationality: Croatian
Place of Birth: Novigrad, SR Croatia
Strengths:

• Close-Quarters: Made strong by farm life and skilled with her knives Mirjana is a very dangerous opponent in CQC. She is more than capable of holding her own in a brawl and welcomes the opportunity to spar with anyone she can cajole into the ring.
• Quick Thinking: With every plan comes the possibility of something going wrong and in Merge's experience that might as well mean that every plan will go wrong. She's gotten very good at adapting to situations as they come up, creating cover stories and formulating new courses of action on a moment's notice.
• Physical Specimen: A lot of hard work went into not just maintaining but increasing her strength and endurance. Mirjana is quite capable of marching of making a forced march through rugged terrain with her gear and can outlift, outrun and outperform most people.
• Multi-Faceted: Living on a run-down farmstead where much of your food is sourced through hunting requires one to be good (or at least competent) at a number of different things. Besides her specific military training Merge is a competent journeyman when it comes to performing repairs, surviving in the wild and performing first. She's no licensed mechanic, lifelong mountain man or accredited doctor but she can jury-rig repairs, keep her wits about her in rough terrain and can stop someone from immediately bleeding to death.

Weaknesses:

• Insomnia: The mild concussions, odd sleeping schedule and combat stress that comes with the territory of being an operator eventually manifested into chronic insomnia. While Merge can power through bouts of sleeplessness with caffeine and other stimulants doing so will obviously make have negative effects on her mood and effectiveness, issues that will compound with long stretches out in the field.
• Fatalistic: Predictions of doom and off-color jokes about everyone is fucked in the long run abound with Mirjana. Depending on whose asking and what mode she's in she describes this as either her sense of humor or merely a realistic outlook. This can form a vicious cycle where as more things begin to go wrong the more she will point out the obvious.
• Thalassophobia : The fear of deep bodies of water. Mirjana has a mild case which means that while she won't break down or fly into an uncontrollable panic, she doesn't do well on boats. Not really a problem in the urban specialized unit she's from, perhaps more of one in the wider scope Aegis program.

Fears:Torture, Deep water
Personality: Loyal to her team but perhaps more interested in the experience of being in special forces than she is the geopolitical outcomes. Merge is intelligent and laid back, preferring to deal with things as they come than to spend a great deal of energy trying to account for each and every possible outcome. This expresses itself in the form of her mostly tongue-in-cheek sense of doom and gloom, a healthy dose of pessimism sometimes permeating her conversations. This can give the appearance that she's resigned to her fate but that's far from the reality of her personality. She simply feels that if she expects things to go wrong then if they don't it's a pleasant surprise and if they do she won't be caught off-guard.
Immediate Family:

• Vesna Višnjić-Mother
• Branko Višnjić-Father

Biography: Mirjana born into a family of Croatian peasants, the newest in a line of farmers and butchers who could trace their lineage in the region back to the 1500s. Her birth came during troubled times. Little more than a month later the USSR left Afghanistan and by November the Berlin Wall was being torn down. The Year of Revolutions would lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union and then Yugoslavia soon after. Only a toddler during the Croatian Independence War Mirjana was mostly kept in the dark about it. Her parents understandably did not wish for her to see the violence going on in their country, they didn't tell her about the deaths of cousins she had never met or explained why her grandparents had fled for the United States. As she got older it was obviously impossible to miss the fact that some violent change had occurred but Mirjana's whole world was mostly the family farm.

As soon as she could walk she was taught to ride, accompanying her father on hunting trips and helping him make the rounds on their property as he repaired fences and tended to the livestock. Traditionally this kind of work was always done by the men of the Višnjić clan but since Mirjana was the only child it fell to her to learn how to manage a homestead. In addition to her normal schooling she was also trained as a butcher, working part time in her uncle's shop for a bit of pocket money. Life moved slowly but safely, the biggest catastrophe of her early years the loss of a particularly favored horse. Despite high school being optional and the fact that she was learning a valuable trade Mirjana still opted to attend secondary education. There she found that while she was intelligent and more than capable of grasping subjects ranging from classical languages to natural science, continuing down the path of education didn't suit her. Mirjana dropped out at sixteen and didn't look back. She was more at home doing physical labor around the farm or working with her uncle. At the same time she didn't want to stay around the home for much longer, a natural restless she had always possessed pushing her to go out into the world.

The next logical step was to join the army. But since she wouldn't be able to sign up until she was sixteen meant that she had time to prepare. She practiced shooting with her father's old rifle and revolver and put work into increasing her physical capabilities. There were plenty of stones to lift, bales to throw and lots of wild country where she could spend a week or so practicing her bushcraft. By the time she reached enlistment age Mirjana was easily able to blow past the required level of fitness. She went through basic training and was assigned to the 2nd Mechanized Battalion as a machine gunner with which she was sent to Afghanistan as part of the US-led War on Terror.

While in the Sandbox her main duty was to assist with the training of local forces alongside interpreters and experts from a variety of nations but saw combat a number of times. The first instance of hostile gunfire nearly killed her from fright alone but faced with the choice of handling the situation or failing her team, she choose the former. Her first tour of duty was where the child playing soldier matured into a professional, a watershed moment that she would look back on fondly even as it took a toll on her ability to rest.

After returning home she spent some time kicking around with friends and family before being reassigned to work on the homefront. The safety and security of European bases quickly got old after her experience in Afghanistan. Seeking a role that would make her feel like she was doing something again Mirjana signed up with the Special Operations Battalion. She passed through the selection process and became one of the few women in such a role, specializing in urban environments and counter-terrorism operations. After becoming a Cobra she was assigned to Kosovo where she worked with KFOR on raids against high-danger targets.

In late 2014 the Battalion was reformed into Special Forces Command. Mirjana got grandfathered in and sent back to Afghanistan to take part in Operation Resolute Support. Her work there was similar to what she had been doing in Kosovo and she earned a reputation for being driven and dependable. Having found what she was good at she had no intent of leaving the force, reenlisting every time her deployment ended until Croatia left Afghanistan in 2020. Reassigned back home yet again Mirjana was looking into work in a private military company when she was contacted by a supposed development wing of NATO...
Past RP Examples:

When she had agreed to go out on patrol with a bunch of full on red white and blue American Army Rangers Mirjana had prepared herself for a day of overbearing arrogance and too loud conversations. The Ugly American was famous in Europe and indeed around the world for its crassness, its refusal to look past its own bloated belly and see the world from the perspective of anything other than an overbearing glutton. Her experiences with tourists who came to her hometown to experience rustic charm yet spit their gum and threw their trash around was enough for to conclude that the stereotype was totally correct in all cases.

And yet here she was twelve hours into the patrol and she had yet to find herself hating them. That wasn't to say they weren't braggadocious jackasses or in any way cared about how they presented themselves. But Mirjana couldn't bring herself to begrudge them this because that was the kind of person she was now, at least in part. She had spent enough time in the Special Forces Battalion and now the Command that she was one of them, a cut above the normal grunts and with the ego to prove it. Were all spec ops types like this? Or was she simply one of the more assholish ones?

The moment of self-reflection as the shitbox HMMWV she was stuffed in hit something in the road, the suspension not nearly enough to keep her from bouncing painfully into the burly Americans she was sandwiched between.

"What the fuck was that?"

The driver was the one who asked which was a little annoying since he should have seen it. And evidently Mirjana wasn't the only one who thought so as the Ranger in the passenger seat punched his comrade in the arm.
"You fucking hit it you dickhead! What the fuck do you mean 'what was that'?"

The Croat snickered as she rubbed her arm where someone's elbow had jammed itself into her side, trying without much success to stare past a man-shaped mountain of Kevlar through the dust covered window. "Considering we're not currently chunks of flesh in twisted wreckage, probably not an IED. Just a rock or something."

And she thanked God for it. The ride had been boring as hell thus far, the men in the mountains with AKs and RPGs not having made an appearance. The only thing around was sand, sand, and yet more fucking sand. The sudden jolt was like a gift from the heavens, a momentary distraction from crushing ennui.

"A shame really, a nice bomb blast would probably wipe out this stench." The Texan on her other side drawled. "You guys reek!"

And so did he but that was besides the point. He was just bitching for the sake of bitching as they all did, passing the time by complaining about things that couldn't change until they got back to base and a shower.

"Hey don't worry cowboy, there'll be plenty of chances yet. Could get ambushed when we stop to piss and if so, I'll hold you still so they get a good shot."

The Texan flicked one of the thousand little bits of debris rattling around on the floor at her, the stone shard bouncing off her nose. "Fuck you too Merge."

Merge. The nickname the Yankees used because her real one was too complicated. She used to hate it but now... well she didn't like it but as far as nicknames go she had heard and called people much worse. It was bearable.

What more could she expect in life?
