Peace and Blessings be upon you, General Nasheed.

It has come to my concerns that in a span of just a few weeks, there has been border attacks on the borders of Bashriyya and Hatay, in which sadly these operations has resulted in a total failure and has resulted in the martyrdom of many Mujahideen (may Allah accept them). I respect you for you have allowed us to operate within your country and for your gifts to the cause in monetary or weaponry form, as well as for your generousity in providing us with training camps as well as sending your top advisors in order to train our Bashriyyan and Maghrebi recruits. I also count on you to keep the alliance between your nation and my organization a secret. However, it has come to my concerns that you have used many of my men to conduct these border attacks against the Hatayan border for nothing. Moreover, I am really disappointed with you not even consulting or telling my deputies regarding the planning of this attack in which I would have never will approve. General Nasheed, I am really disappointed with this decision of yours and I hope this incident will not happen in the future again. Let me remind you, General, that the Mujahideen are my men, and your Army are yours, thus we are not your puppet to be used against the Hatayans. I hold command of my men, and you do not hold command of even a single Mujahid. If a similar incident will occur again in the future, let me tell you, General, I will not hesitate to rally my men against your government.

Wasalam.

Above Anbar Province
The B-52 Bombers had just released their payload when the final hail was heard in their headphones. The Squadron Leader spoke in response, while he navigated the plan towards Saudi airspace.
"This is Hatayan Airforce Solar Spear Squadron conducting airstrike against hostile forces in Anbar province, we have conducted airstrikes in Iraq for the past four years. What is your purpose? Over." Inside High Command, everyone's attention reverted back to the screen awaiting response from the Jordanian aircraft.
"Request that Saudi planes escort Solar Spear back to Saudi Bases." said Air Marshal Nafar in High Command. The B-52s.
Hatay-Bashriyya Border
Sergeant Mustafa Yakub inspected the set up of 12 M777 Howitzers being set up along in the fortress, poking out of a concrete, steel reinforce barrier, and hidden by mountain. They could lob an M982 Excalibur guided artillery shell 40 Kilometers, and now was being implanted to stop any new attack before they could even get in firing range. The Hatayan government knew well that the IAIA and Bashriyya had some sort of collusion, though they knew not its nature or anything else for that matter, or that they had attacked the border, soon the entire border would be outfitted with these guns, shells could be shipped on the rail tracks underneath the mountains, the system of observation posts, pillboxes, and gun posts like these was almost completely fool proof.
Inside the Command center, deep underground, a few lightbulbs hung from the ceiling, a map of the border hung on the wall, and a picture of Ali Golofad hung on the wall, also a Hatayan flag, and a photo of Helmut von Moltke the Elder, a commander Hatayan generals particularly admired. Major General Firdos Akbar was ruthless, cunning, constantly looking for Bashriyyan schemes, and highly intelligent. He had tested over 100 invasion scenarios with his staff, both defensive and offensive. He know met with his staff of 12 Colonels, Majors, and his direct subordinate, Brigadier General Jafar Zakariyya.
"Gentlemen, I have called you together today because I am most displeased. While terrorist attacks on the border are extraordinarily easy to deal with, I do believe that this is part of a larger operations. Perhaps Nasheed is probing our defenses for an invasion, or maybe distracting us while he infiltrates the bases along the border, or maybe these are mercenaries put up by him from RavenSword, maybe they are Jaysh Al-Nimcha coming back again. Or maybe Nasheed is harboring the Islamic State, but I want you all to be on high alert, I do not know for sure what Bashriyya is planning."

We remind the world that the Free Kingdom of Allanea is committed to the ideals of individual liberty and capitalism. In the current conflict we are interested, primarily, in the eradication of radical Jihadist scum.

We are hereby offering the government of Iraq, and any of the anti-Jihadist factions in this conflict, the following:

The assistance of a single aircraft carrier, and up to a force of 5,000 ground troops, against the Islamists. [This force will include also the crews of any ground-based aircraft, so please do not expect a vast Allanean ground force].
The assistance in humanitarian aid of all kinds to the victims of radical Islamists, and an extension of refugee status to residents of Iraq seeking to flee the conflict, with a priority given to orphaned children and the injured and disabled, as well as those groups directly targeted by the terrorists.
Finally, the Free Kingdom is willing to discuss provision of weapons and munitions to all factions fighting the terrorists.

We also have a special offer to those factions fighting on the side of Radical Islam, and especially to the so-called Al Ittihad Al Islamiya. The offer is simple:

Our ships and planes are on our way. Kill yourself now, scumbags, and you will not face our anger.

Ba'ath Party Headquarters
Riyad
Present Day
1045 Hours

It was a hot, sunny day in Riyad, high ranking top members of the party were discussing important matters in the main headquarters room, looming over them was a portrait of Bashir Aladeen, his father Hafez Aladeen who brought back the left-wing faction of the Ba'ath Party in a coup in 1970, and also the Ba'ath Party Logo was there as well. Most of these men and women were ageing and had been in government positions for decades now, they were in the military, police force, emergency services, education, any high ranking official was there, however there were new members in the party and are hoped to refill government positions when the old members died or retired in the later years to come, leaders of the Youth wing, the Revolutionary Youth Union, and the Arab Liberation Front were their as well. The room then suddenly went quiet as the deputy leader of the Ba'ath Party, Hilal Hilal, stood into the Room, "comrades", he said with a worried and concerned voice, "I have called you here today to discuss something urgent, the fact is that Arab Nationalism is dying, and has been since when great comrade Gamal Abdel Nasser suffered a heart attack, more evidence of this shows that the fact is that Lonograd is the only Ba'athist nation in the entire Middle East. However comrades, hope is not lost yet, if we support the people of Iraq in achieving their revolution against the Nifonese puppets known as "The Iraqi Awakening Front", Islamist/Takfiri Terrorist groups like Jaysh Al Islam and the Knights of Islam, and Also Saddam loyalists, then we could a true Arab Socialist Iraq as our neighbour and then we could later annex it as the firsts step in achieving a United Arab Republic based on Nasser's Ideals. How do we do this you ask? Easily, we increase funding and arming for this group, we bomb militant positions near our border in Anbar province, and we finally start making propaganda videos on the internet, I've already had one made and has been released on multiple Social Network Accounts including famous one like Setsuzoku, the video shows that the Arab Liberation Front - Iraq Branch are the real liberators and that all other groups are nothing but puppets of foreign imperialist powers which seek to control Iraq's Resources and the Iraqi people. So I need you all to go out there and get more public support, we must win the minds of the people if we are to win the war, that's all for now, you are all dismissed."

Propaganda video: The Liberators of Iraq

Footage of fighters marching in a parade in Basra, trampling of Israeli and American flags.

Words appear saying.

People of Iraq! Who are really responsible for your misery?

Footage and images of Jaysh Al Islam, Iraqi Awakening Front, Peshmerga, knights of Islam, Military Council for Jihad & Revolution fighters are shown, then images of Maki Kojiro, George Bush, Saddam Hussein, Ali Golfad, Mohammed Nashid, Tony Blair, and Izzat Ibrahim al Douri are shown as well.

Never Forgive them for their crimes!

Footage of Saddam's chemical gas victims are shown, along with beheadings and the aftermath of a suicide bombing.

Words appear saying, while this Song plays in the background

The Uprising has begun!

Images of pro ALF protests are shown around the country, waving ALF, Shiite, Lonogradian, and Palestinian flags, while ALF fighters are shown marching and driving through the desert.

The video then ends by showing a protest in Baghdad, protesters are then shown burning, Nifonese, Israeli, American, Bashiryyan, Hatayan, Jaysh Al Islam and Saddam era flags while chanting, "Down with the Tyrants!"

Then the hashtag.

#Iraqresists

Before the video goes black and ends.

OOC: The following is a public statement by the Hatayan government

Anti-Terror Partnership

As the Allaneans received the response from Hatay, they continued to prepare for combat. Unlike many, they were in no hurry to start fighting, preferring gradual progress towards their goal. Their carrier battlegroup had left harbor, and was gradually moving towards the region. There would still be a dozen days before it arrived anywhere in the Gulf, but indeed they were on their way.

In Hatay itself, at a designated airbase about a hundred miles from the border, cargo aircraft would begin to land first. The soldiers they carried would be very few in number - a few hundred in total, taking about a dozen flights to airlift in with their tools and equipment. The first men began to work, and work hard.

Air-conditioned, modular headquarters buildings made out of shipping containers were set up. Allaneans working with shovels and a ditchdiggers dug a shallow ditch from these to the nearest Hatayan military building, and lay several thick-looking cabled in it, then covered it back up. Two feet underground, the cables would be safe from sabotage and enemy mortar rounds, even if terrorists did manage to penetrate this deep into Hatay - which the Allaneans did not expect.

The men, of course, were the men of re 678th Strike Aviation Regiment, though the actual pilots were yet to arrive.

The planes would arrive a few days later, landing one at a time at the available runways. By that time, the Allanean cargo planes would bring in a number of inflatable decoys, which would be mounted everywhere that the Hatayans would permit, creating the illusion of dozens of planes, cars, and trucks. On open spaces, Allaneans would spread out long screens of thick foil on the edges of the base, which would of course come up as large metal objects on any radar the terrorists managed to have, and mounted strange, angular objects on thin poles that rotated constantly. Though small - about the size of a child’s fist - the objects were shaped just right to have a radar cross-section much larger than their own size.

While all of this occurred, the Free Kingdom Ministry of Foreign Affairs chartered a dozen passenger flights from various companies. These planes, entirely empty except for their crews and stewardesses, would be flying into Hatay’s major airports from various countries.

What exactly the pieces of this puzzle came into would be unclear to observers, but it was clear that they were in motion.

**** Iraq

Those who thought that they will be able to take the prey away from the tyger were deadly wrong, and they ought to know that. Nifonese have put far too much money into their project to witness it's fall due to overidealistic Hatayan & Allanean intervention, having no regard for local culture and customs. Kojiro was especially bothered about Hatayan involvement, which he seen as simply dangerous due to Golofad's liberal idealism bordering the one that Woodrow Willson had - and idealism harshly colliding with local reality. For that reason, there was going to be no more delay, but rather Hasty offensive into the Anbar area to secure as much ground as the allied forces could, to provide themselves best position when the game begun.

In short, Khalid Tlass was no friend of Al - Itthad al - Islamiya, but at this point he was not interested in launching any force against them - mostly due to his peculiar political situation. While it was true that he was part of the Nifonese plot to encircle Lonograd, his own forces were between Lonograd and their shiite allies in the south as well. In addition to that, IAF simply lacked forces to cover the entire area, and one of major goals of the Salah Ad - Din Ibn Yassir 's HQ would be re-organization of his forces and raising at least two new combined arms brigades with the equipment Nifonese were going to deliver to him. On another note, after recent victory, morale skyrocketed, popular support greatly increased, and, what was most important, the entire Anbar province with exception of Fallujah region where majority of the terrorists holed up was completely exposed for taking and no one could have prevented him from doing so. Lonograd? Not only direct move of Lonogradi forces would have resulted in them facing all Nifonese, Jordaian and likely Turkish assets, but their army was also required to keep the sunni majority in place - and with their government relying on minorities as a power base, a single defeat could have sparked mass uprising. ALF forces had Itthad between them and most likely due to their jihadism were not going to get any support. For western - leaning nations, IAF made of secular - leaning nationalists and incorporation Assyrian militias would have been best option to support, simply because of their lack of radicalism - yet, at the same time, IAF openly rejected their support, preferring alliance with it's Turkish, Nifonese and Jordanian allies, and with not hidden suspicion looking at the Hatayan intervention.

The time had come, and there was little else that had to be done. Within nearest few days, three brigades - each having previously detaching their guerilla hunter - killer battalion and leaving it in a one of specified cities with orders to defend it - rolled south, quickly taking unoccupied territory under the cover of the Nifonese & Jordanian air forces. While Kaizens would constantly keep combat air patrols in order to scare off unwanted guests, Shinigami would guide the assault of the lightly armored formations of the locals. Nifonese combined arms formation would stay behind in order to provide mobile defense against any threat such as Lonogradi incursion or sudden change of attitude from Itthad Al - Islamiya.

Yet the goals were far from accomplished. Key Jihadist strongholds such as Ramandi or Fallujah were not taken as yet - but there were simply not enough forces to accomplish such a grand task. So far, major goal of Tawfiqist forces was to be winning the hearts and minds of the locals - and so they headed to do, with help of countless Nifonese, Riysan and other SACTO nations charities. Plans were, as well, being made for eventual incorporation of Kurdish right wing such as KDP into the coalition by creating a fully autonomous Kurdish region from Kurdish ethnic territories captured by the IAF.

ORBAT:
- Same as in prievious posts.

Jordan

Upon receiving the response from the final hail that is expected to be answered by any unidentified air group, it was now known to the Jordanians that the imperialist schemes of Hatay are underway, as they revealed their intention to destabilize Iraq further with their own kind of ideology. This cannot be let passed through for the Jordanian base command, as they well knew how foreign powers would react when threatened. The Major General Mansour Al-Jbour, who leads the Royal Air Force, then presses to the base command to assure that the Hatayan algharaba will be removed away. He was certain that their presence only makes Iraqi crisis worsened.

"Give the Ibrahim and Ishmael our signal to prepare for ACM, but continue intercept."
"Sir, we have successfully identified their predicted destination. It seems they are heading to Saudi airspace."
"Will this invoke the SJCC deals we had signed with the Saudi Deputy Crown Prince few months ago, particularly the security clauses?"
"Surely, it will, and I bet this Hatayan aircraft group will be warmly welcomed, the Saudi way."
"The Saudi way?"

After this brief discussion, the signal was given to the interceptor squadrons, all the while as the Hatayan bombers were flying to the Saudi airspace. The radio then sets off with a response from the squadron captain to the foreign-borne bombers.

"اتبع أوامر لدينا. ارحل الآن. العودة على الفور!"

The so-called Army Eyes, the reconnaissance battalion of the "Martyr King Abdullah I" 90th Mechanized Brigade assigned for the ground operations of the Martyr Moaz to give the required information for any incoming mission on the ground, ensures that the subsequent missions and tactical accomplishments-to-come by the Royal Jordanian Armed Forces in the crisis will sufficient for the entire time of the war. As the Brigade is merely enough for the operation to be shouldered from this part, they were then prepared for deployment since mobilization began after the international communication was released for public viewing. At this present moment, the Brigade will set itself on the move once the Command give its signal to swiftly enter Iraq and establish foothold.

Mustafa Hassan then said "I see, you were misguided, I cannot threaten you, please forgive me." he began to shed fake tears, he put down the tool and turned the power on the knob off. "Now brother, lets translate that cipher, Mustafa Hassan typed in the word "Katana"

Code: Select all: Dear Akhmadov - san; I am greatly thankful for the service you done to me and my country today, and I have to say, it has been an honor of doing business with you. For halting the brigade and withdrawing rather than supporting your brothers, just as we agreed earlier, I offer you this gold. You have now to fulfill your task with all haste and eliminate key people in Jaysh Al - Islam leadership, and in return, you would be allowed to have your own emirate composed of few cities, just as we agreed. Honor guide you, - "Aokitsune"

Mustafa Hassan then began to gain a rage after reading the translated cipher, "The dog, the leach, the swine, the snake, the worm!" he banged his fist on the table "I was played like a damn toy!"
Mustafa Hassan began to speak to Ahmed Naifeh "Son, you have done a noble duty for Allah today, how would you like to join a dispatch to arrest the traitor Akhmadov and his Chechen command?"

his plan was to use the youth further and he changed his mind to a more sinister plot to get him to do a suicide attack on Akhmadov, "Akhmadov has sealed his fate, how would you like to be rewarded in paradise?" he smiled with a soft and innocent look, that was almost effeminate, he put hand around the youths back and whispered into his ear "Kill Akhmadov and martyr yourself, show me your loyalty."

General Nashid read the letter, Nashid understood, he realized that the AIAI was a predicament, they could not just be used like mercenaries. Nashid wrote back realizing he needed the AIAI more then ever as everything was beginning to unfold, Nashid needed an arm that he could not be directly connected too and the AIAI was perfect for this.

Salaam Alakem, brothers.

I am aware that I did something idiotic, of which I am very sorry, the AIAI are your men and my men are the Bashriyyan Arab Army, if I ever feel like I have something your men would be interested in i will contact you and plan it out. However a problem has arisen, a certain dog by the name of Mustafa Hassan, a CIA double agent leading the rouge group Jaysh Al-Islam has merged with the Knights of Islam, has accepted a shipment of nerve gas from a suspicious ship off the coast of Kuwait, we have been tracking several of these ships, and have even stopped one.

I fear what your men who gave up their lives gathered in the London raid may be coming into tuition in both Iraq and Lebanon, the only we hope we have is to begin targeting Al-Dajjal's agents across the region, bestowing Holy justice upon them, I will give you a list of targets and I have some weapons you will be interested in.

Near the Border

Meanwhile, Allaneans seemed to be blissfully unaware of the forces aware against them - or, perhaps, all too aware. At the airbase in Hatay, every available soldier worked as hard as they could. They tossed off their uniform shirts, working hard in their undershirts and pants, soaked completely with sweat, as their shovels bit into the sand. The unit’s excavator and bulldozer were used too, but of course this was not enough to fill all of the Air Regiment’s impressive engineering needs.

Trenches were dug at every entrance to the regiment’s camp, somewhat to the side of the entrances, and machinegun positions made ready, one on each of the two entrance. Pre-made gabion barriers were made on each side of the aircraft positions, to shield the aircraft from shrapnel and rifle attacks. These were set up in a simple way - a shipping container opened, and a single truck pulling on a chain of interlinked plastic gabions, and then when the chain was fully unfolded - the gabions filled with soil using the excavator. In similar manner, long gabion walls were erected along every edge of the base. Unfolding such a ‘wall’ took minutes, filling it took hours. Excavator crews needed to work in shifts, switching every three hours in the intense heat.

THe cargo planes continued to land at the airbase, now managing two planeloads per day. Their cargomasters worked carefully and meticulously, making sure to supply the Regiment with a storage of all sorts of cargo. Bombs for its planes - which had yet to fly a single mission - spare parts, food were all being flown in.

At the sea

The carrier battlegroup crawled forward with determination, still a week out from its target. Well, for naval ships it could be said they were speeding forward, at a speed of twenty knots, but of course compared to the speed of an airplane, or even a passenger car, this was a crawl.

However, the crews and pilots viewed this as a benefit of sorts. Rehearsals were held by all - by the onboard Marine Infantry complement of the carrier, better known as a the ‘boarding party’, which was training daily to engage speedboats and clean ships of terrorists, by the pilots, who practiced takeoffs and landings, by the damage control team.

In Allanea

Here, in Allanea, a shipment of supplies was being prepared for the government of Hatay itself, which, it was felt, was going to be dealing with lots of trouble fighting the terrorists. The first cargo ship would soon be leaving harbor, loaded entirely with ammunition - 155mm artillery shells and launching charges, withdrawn from CAPINTERN emergency stockpiles, formed the basis of the first cargo load. Stacked in shipping containers aboard the ship were a hundred thousand HE-F artillery shells. The number seemed enormous, but the Allaneans knew that, in a serious fight, it would not last very long.

Fallujah, Iraq

A convoy of trucks moved to the area where the Chechen commander was based, a gun fight quickly ensued with snipers and machine gunners firing on the Chechen headquarters who were surprised by the fact they were being attacked by their own men, they quickly returned fire blowing up a couple columns of trucks with ATGMs.

Akhmadov, ran down a hall-way in the headquarters gunning down Mustafa Hassan's men as they tried crawling up to the windows, often throwing down ladders causing the men to fall, gunning down numerous enemy fighters with his AKM as sliced the pie from corner to corner, however in one room waiting for him was Ahmed Nafieh who was not armed with a gun but had strapped himself with a bomb, Akhmadov said "Son, you are too young for this, this is not jihad this is pure treason, whatever this is, why ever this is." the young man replied to Akhmadov "You are the traitor, you were accepting money from Kuffir al-Nifar, now you will be punished." Akhmadov said "Don't try it!" Nafieh was ready to pull the cord that would detonate the bomb but was shot in the back of the head by one of Akhmadov's men, he said "Sir, we have to get out of here, we have been set up, they tried to arrest some of the officers and Mustafa's men were accusing you of taking money from the Nifonese, I knew this was not true, I know you sir, tell me these things are not true." Akhmadov said "No brother, these things are not true." they both snuck out of the building as the building as Mustafa Hassan's men searched for them. Those who resisted Mustafa Hassan's efforts to search for Akhmadov were being summarily shot in the head, numerous resistors had been detained across the area.

After the Jordian reply came over the radio, the Hatayan commander responded, "We are heading back to our airbase immediately." The B-52 squadron began to make a turn towards base, keeping in strict formation. They then radioed all the way to Kamijama. "Being escorted by Jordan to base."
Iraq, Anbar Province
With intel gathered from the Hatayan Intelligence Service and the Central Intelligence Agency, an arsenal of local jihadist group that may or may not have been connected to Jaysh Al-Islam or AIAI was located. Men of the Hatayan Special Operations Forces, also known as the Khalas Aljumhuria (Salvation of the Republic) after the battle cry of Hatayan forces during the War of Axis Aggression from 1936-1945 against Italian and German invaders, had been sent to destroy the arsenal. They creeped through the knight wearing all black combat outfits and black helmets, with a black ski mask. They carried Glock 17 pistols, combat knives, Heckler & Koch HK416 assault rifles, and one carried a Mossberg 500 Shotgun. Two guards stood outside the main door to the arsenal wearing combat outfit, a Shahada headband and a Kalashnikov. The men of the Khalas Aljumhuria approached, with a few shots from their silenced Glock 17 pistols to the neck, both men were dead. The men entered quietly into the rooms full of guns and ammunition and began placing explosives around, especially around munitions. They eliminated sentries, and prepared to blow the building to bits with the pressing of a button.

After repeated attacks on the border by jihadist cells operating from Bashriyya, we are requesting that Hatayan forces be allowed to operate at least 10 kilometers off of the Bashriyyan side of the border so to eliminate and locate all cells possibly operating within that range. We understand this is a difficult proposition, but if this is not possible, we ask that Bashriyyan forces do so or work with Hatayans.

Abu Umar al Hadrami is a prominent man in Al Ittihad Al Islamiya's Anbar Division, where it was previously merged with the Jaysh Al Islam. Now, with the intel from the so called 'ally' and 'backer' of AIAI, as well as the recent in-fightings between JAI factions, namely ones loyal to Akhmadov, ones loyal to Emir Abu Ibrahim of AIAI, and ones loyal to the Khawarij Mustafa Hassan. Thus, Abu Umar had received the order to pull out absolutely all of his troops from Anbar and cross it back Diyala Province to prepare for a joint assault on Baghdad with the main AIAI battalions. He was not pleased at all with the men of Jaysh al Islam. Especially after being told that Mustafa Hassan is directly working with the CIA. A loyal follower of the Emir, Abu Umar is, joined the organization when he graduated off college and was directly sent to various battlegrounds including Bosnia, Afghanistan, and now, Iraq. His real name was unknown, though there has been rumours that his real name is actually Hamza. Now, he was chosen directly from the higher ups to withdraw the fighters and pull them back towards friendly lines in Diyala province. Directly the morning after the order was given, after Fajr (dawn) prayers, the men of Al Ittihad packed their gears up, along with munitions, supplies, as well as their vehicles. The most prominent withdrawal was from Ramadi, where around 1,000 Al Ittihad Mujahideen withdrew, leaving their Jaysh Al Islam counterparts alone. Headquarters, camps, and other garrisons are abandoned. Though, the withdrawal did not only come from Ramadi, the rest counting 1,500 men also withdrew from across the Sunni triangle, heading towards Diyala Governorate.

Seeing in the radar monitors that the Hatayan bombers are still heading towards Saudi airspace, this obviously provocative act of non-compliance would warrant something that Allah can permit to be judged over the AIHatayn algharaba. Determined to properly act disciplined despite such travesty displayed by these Hatayans, the Major General Al-Jbour would want them to follow their lead to escort the Hatayans out, and not their own way in Jordan's operational airspace.

"Sir, it seems that they are continuing their course heading to Saudi airspace."
"Should we warn the RSAD and RSAF about this, Major-General?"
"Once these Hatayans cross the border, the SJCC consensus will be in effect. The Saudis won't want a foreigner in their skies, especially from a democracy so Western of thinking."
"I have sent a warning letter to their Minister of Defense about this encroachment."
"That will be enough. For now, signal Ibrahim and Ishmael to lead Harry out to the west side, not towards south. If they continue, you have my permission."
"Yes, sir."

And so the Base Command relayed orders to the interceptor squadrons to assure that the Hatayans will be safely and properly led over to the Syrian-Iraqi border. The following radio exchange was heard in the radiowaves exclusively for the Jordanian communications.

"Ibrahim 01, Ishmael 07 , this is Alef 1. Lead Harry, steer three-six degrees west, and maintain present Angel."
"Affirmative Alef 1."
"Ibrahim 01, Ishmael 07, this is Alef 1. Issue signal warning to lead escort."
"Positive, Alef 1."

By this sortie of commands given, the squadron captain of Ibrahim 01 sent the following message to the Hatayan bombers leading themselves to a potential peril they might regret experiencing.

"اتبعني. العودة إلى الوطن. العودة الآن."

After the short mobilization of troops of the 90th Mechanized Brigade towards the Iraqi-Jordanian border, the Army Eyes were able to relay reconnaissance reports successfully about the events that happened since the failed assault of the JAI against the nationalists at the northern side of Iraq. With the successful deployment of the Brigade to the border, a command is pending at this time what will be the next action of the Brigade in the Operation. It is to be noted that the 90th Brigade is distinct as they bear no roundels nor national markings in their uniforms, insignias, and their labels, despite flying the Jordanian flag over the base, and with King Abdullah's portrait at the Command HQ rooms. One can see the HMMWVs in desert camouflage cruising the roads heading to Al-Anbar, conducting what it seem to be routine patrols, strengthening the current aerial border recon. Tank battalion live exercises were also done during their preparations to freshen up their crew performance, with their Challenger 1 variant, Al-Hussein, proven to be worthy of battle.

OOC: Golofad's residency is not nearly as big as Erdogan, who I use the photo for.
Hatayan Planes
The message went over and was responded to immediately.
"Affirmative, over." The B-52s swerved towards the fighters and along with their direction. Base Command had been keeping close tabs on the conversation, if they had angered the Jordanians with indiscipline, it was a job well done.
Presidential Palace
Inside the Executive Office, President Golofad sat down as several military officials briefed him. Air Marshal Nafar stood next to a detailed map of Iraq.
"We've launched several airstrikes on jihadist held areas, though we've had to accommodate Jordanian escorts."
"Doable." replied the President.
"But this is unlike to incite any change in the war's pattern. If we don't want the ALF, Arab Awakening, or AIAI to take over, we need to take further action." said Colonel General Yusuf Muhammed, Head of the General Staff.
"What is the Awakening next move?" asked the President, his strategic mind hard at work.
"Likely an offensive against Anbar province." replied Air Marshal Nafar.
"Is that the consensus of staff?" asked Golofad. Most of the room nodded."We need to take stronger action, this is an opportunity."
"We destroyed an arsenal." mentioned Nafar.
"We blew up a few AK-47s, what will that do." replied Muhammed, quite dismissively.
"We can't allow Iraq to fall in the hands of Baathists or Islamists. And the Awakening is just a Nifonese proxy. We will launch two offensives that will weaken the AIAI. I want more airstrikes, more airstrikes, more airstrikes. We will go along with Jordan's rules, but we will launch more attacks. B-52s, F-16s, A-10s." stated the President.
"We have an AC-130A we could use. It was our last arms buy from the Obama administration." replied Nafar.
"Perfect." said Golofad with a slight smile. But he was no fool, airstrikes alone with not deal the sickening blow to Hatay's enemies.
He was a veteran of war, and remembered watching Hatayan Sukhoi Su-7 ground attack planes failing to deal battle-changing blows to Libyan forces during the Hatayan-Libyan war. "But airpower is not enough. Bashriyya is harboring AIAI, this must end. We are going to launch an attack, and brilliant offensive that will drive AIAI out of Bashriyya. Gentlemen, this offensive will be critical to the defeat of worldwide jihadism."

The Allaneans were, meanwhile, in the last stages of their hard work. Now, at last, the Allanean battlegroup arrived in the Gulf. Almost immediately, two strike fighters began to rise from the deck of the carrier, climbing and climbing upwards, near-vertically, their engines struggling against the dual pull of gravity and drag as the planes rose upwards. At last, two rockets - one mounted under the centerline of each plane - detached from the fighters, and began climbing upwards, even as the strike fighters broke off their ascent. Higher and higher the rockets screamed, abandoning at last their first stages, and continuing to scream - until, at last, a tiny final stage of each entered low earth orbit - a single, box-shaped, satellite weighing about eight pounds, armed with a digital camera.

The first photographs came in a few minutes later. These were not the best that one could get, given how small and cheap the machine was, but the Allaneans were satisfied for now, and in fact, this would be grounds for their next plan.

Meanwhile, a large jeep full of Allanean troops parked within a dozen miles of the Iraqi border. The crew began working rapidly, assembling a simple device, much like a model plane, and launching it. This was, of course, a tiny UAV, which soon crossed the border. Allaneans hardly cared if the UAV was lost - compared to costs of real planes or the risks to soldiers it cost very little.

A message to the government of Hatay was prepared, by Admiral Robert Sokolov, commander of the Allanean battlegroup.

Dear friends!

We are preparing to collect IMINT about the enemy’s operations. We believe that intelligence is at the foundations of a secure effort to defeat the Jihadist enemy, and for this reason we will share with your our imaging data from two microsatellites that we have now deployed in low Earth orbit. The satellites are eventually going to decay and burn up in the atmosphere, but for now they are passing over Iraq regularly and gathering photography to be used by the tactical warfighters.

We are interested in receiving any information you find relevant about the actions and fighting positions of Al-Ittihad Al-Islamiya.

Yours,
Adm. Sokolov.

Another message was sent to the government of Nifon:

Hello.

As it is well known, our nations exist in a state of tension as of the moment, due to Allanea’s support of LGBT rights organizations around the world. That said, we believe that we can and should cooperate around the notion of eradicating Al-Ittihad Al-Islamiya. We would like to exchange with you information about the location of their terrorist bases, mainly for the purpose of subjecting them to precision guided missile strike.

P.S. We don’t like the Lonogradi either.

Adm. Sokolov.

Finally, to the government of Iraq, Admiral Sokolov sent the following message:

Dear Friends!

The Free Kingdom of Allanea wishes to offer you humanitarian aid, and assistance against Al-Ittihad Al-Islamiya. We would like to receive permission on utilizing your airports for this purpose.

Yours,

Adm. Sokolov.

Presidential Palace
Riyad
Present Day
1030 Hours

The president had ordered a meet with all of his top officials to discuss what their next plan in Iraq would be, at the meeting was the Minster of defence, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, General of the Lonogradian Arab Army, General of the Lonogradian Arab Air force, General of the Lonogradian Arab Navy, and Many other important members of the Government were their as well. "Report". The President said with a cold, stern voice, "the Nifonese puppet organisation known as the "Iraqi Awakening Front" have gained ground against Jaysh Al Islam in Anbar Province, the Islamist takfiri terrorist group has suffered heavy casualties during their attack on Mosul. Also that the Hatayans have started to bomb the Jaysh Al Islam with American made fighter jets in Anbar province, no doubt they will be bombing the ALF very soon. One said General while adjusting his tie while another started to speak, "The Iraqi Awakening are also being backed by the Jordanians, I propose we do target airstrikes and bombing runs in and around Anbar Province to completely annihilate the already weaken Jaysh Al Islam and to stop the Iraqi Awakening Front from advancing forward near our border". "what of the Arab Liberation Front?" The President asked with a curious voice as he soon realised the war in Iraq was getting fierce and that Lonograd's sovereignty was at stake. "The Arab Liberation Front has made several successes and has marched into Karbala completely unopposed, they are now planning to attack the city of Ramadi and push Jaysh Al Islam out, then after that, they will probably assault Fallujah and then finally Baghdad where they already have a small presence. However, deer esteemed leader, they are heavily underfunded and are lacking with supplies and medical aid". The Minster of defence replied with a nervous voice, President Bashir Aladeen then started to think of an idea, he thought for three seconds and then said "We will airdrop medical aid and other supplies to the ALF under the guise of sending humanitarian aid, we will also send propaganda leaflets and start radio broadcasting anti Jaysh Al Islam and Iraq Awakening Front propaganda to northern Anbar and Mosul provinces to get the Iraqi people rise up against their oppressors. As for the airstrikes, we will wait to see what happens and then we will completely obliterate the enemies of the Arab revolution, then Iraq will be ours to annex and will be the first step in achieving a United Arab Republic based on Nasser's ideals.

The plan was now set, large Cargo planes full with thousands of tonnes food, water, Medical Aid and other supplies were to be sent to airdrop over Arab Liberation Front controlled southern Iraq, while this was happening, other cargo planes were carrying propaganda leaflets which were saying that the Iraqi Awakening Front were puppets of the Nifonese and SACTO, and that Jaysh Al Islam are nothing but CIA agents who were sent to oppress the Iraqi people. The Lonogradian Government hoped that this would have the same affect as when America dropped leaflets after in the end of the gulf war, in that it would cause mass upheaval and violent uprising, the only thing left was the propaganda broadcasts which were being set up near the Iraqi Border and also the diplomatic letter to the world.

TO: The International Community
FROM: The Foreign Affairs Committee of the Lonogradian Arab Republic

Dear Nations of the world, we are very concerned over the situation in Iraq, the people of that once glorious country are suffering a tragedy and that can not be ignored, so we have decided to airdrop medical aid and other types of supplies to the people of Iraq and have also decided to take in refugees who are fleeing from the fighting. We Also condemn the governments of Nifon, Hatay, Bashriyya and Jordan for arming these terrorists in the first place and for escalating the violence by indiscriminately bombing large areas which would definitely harbour civilians.

Squadron Headquarters
H4 Air Base, Rweished
Mafraq Governorate
Jordan

The Hatayans then steered their flight pattern towards with the Jordanian F-15 interceptors and headed towards the west side, where their homeland Hatay is. With their altitudes maintained while still within range of AIM-120 AAMs, radio exchanges were made between the HQ and the interceptor squadrons. The Major General Al-Jbour is well aware that no country will dare Jordan, being a key strategic nation against any extremist around it. The staff around him were also key to this interception.

"Sir, it now appears that the Arab Army cannot be tamed by an algharaba!"
"Keep the RSAD and RSAF in touch. We might not know when will be the next time they will be here again."
"Sir, we are very certain the Saudis will honor our word with them, compared with any other pesky foreigner. Surely these Hatayans could be-"
"Hush, because we might be missing something. Warn the squadrons to stay alert until the Hatayan bombers are out of Iraqi airspace."
"Yes, sir."
"Inform the squadrons to remain in patrol, and send out aerial refueling flights for them."
"Affirmative, sir."

The two KC-10 Extender aerial refueling tanker aircraft were then seen from the H4 AB leaving the runway after several minutes of taxiing before flight. They will be replenishing the two squadrons as the Hatayan bombers are nearly at the edge of the airspace.

"Ibrahim 01, Ishmael 07 , this is Kalim 2. AAR inbound"
"Affirmative Kalim 2."
"Ibrahim 01, Ishmael 07, this is Alef 1. Prepare for ACM if needed."
"Positive, Alef 1."

Despite knowing that the two interceptor squadrons guiding the bombers to the Lonogradian airspace as the best place for the Hatayan air group to be routed to, another radar signature was detected by the GM 400 radar stations at the northern border of Jordan another aircraft group from the Lonogradian airspace, which was marked as "Larry" by the Base Command in both Rweished and Mafraq ABs. By this sudden maneuver, the 1st Squadron composed of F-16AM and F-16BM interceptors, fitted by the engineering prowess of American firepower for air-to-air combat.

"SIF verification complete. Squadron of cargo planes from Lonograd airspace. Callsign is Leonard. No response to our hails. Location, Hotel 7, Nancy 6, heading 267. Angels three-five. Speed Mach 1.5, continuing East."
"Interceptors inbound for rendezvous. Ibrahim 01 from Golf 3. Estimated intercept, Ibrahim 01 0905"
"Alef 1, this is Ibrahim 01, now maintaining Angel four-zero. Request target altitude."
"Ibrahim 01, issue final hail to cargo planes. Prepare for ACM."
"Affirmative, Alef 1."

With the 2nd Squadron reaching enough range for a tail-aspect chase on the cargo planes, given the fact that their presence was already known to Hatayan bombers, it would be seemingly easy for this unknown cargo flight to recognize the Jordanian fighters' hails. As the Squadron of F-16AMs swerved away the skyline from the formation escorting the Hatayans out, the fighters then went straight ahead, with the speed of Mach 2 towards the Lonogradian aircraft, with almost clear visibility within visual range, and being at their tail will really provide enough radio coverage to send their warning and commit to intercept them. With this, the Squadron captain issued the first hail:

"طائرة مجهولة، التعرف على الذات. لديك ثلاث ثوان."

You, and your bahaayim will never set afoot in this sacred land, nor shall you reach the doors of Baghdad with such filthy goal of destroying the Islamic world with your communist ideals. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala will burn you and your generations to come as you pursue such goal of keeping this war in flames, and the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam will stand witness to our victory!

We will not ask for your mercy, nor your recognition, but Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala will give us Jordanians and the Iraqis the freedom and the independence we deserve as both nations willing to die against the threat of the Red Menace in the Levant! Let this be a reminder that we will crush you as small as the dust in the desert with your soldiers' blood greasing our tanks!

MAP

** Diyala Governorate
Republic of Iraq
Present Day **

Throughout the Diyala-Wasit and Diyala-Baghdad Governorate border, engineers of the Mujahideen wearing plain civilian clothing and civilian vehicles started constructing tunnels acting as a defense mechanism for the Mujahideen. The tunnel construction consists of two phase, the first phase consists of constructing small tunnels capable of containing men, a handful amount of ammuniton, weaponry as well as a small command post. This first phase tunnels will be constructed near main roads, junctions, as well as other points deemed to be vital. The true purpose of the first phase is a small, fastly-constructed tunnel that will be the base of a huge tunnel network, in which this first phase acts as a defense rather than offensive tunnels. Once the first phase is done, then the second phase is to commence. The second phase shall consist of connecting these lines of tunnels built during the first phase. Extensively, spider holes are constructed on farm lands such that the vegetation around it provides enough cover.

While the main engineer units of the Mujahideen works on the tunnels and the spider holes, collaborators and civilians alike started building decoy camps and vehicle depots as realistic as possible, even putting real trucks and repaired broken down old tanks and other military equipments with scrap metals with the purpose of placing them in decoy camps. Though, this wasn't enough, after these decoy camps are constructed, armed collaborators shall visit these decoy camps frequently in order to have some activity in them and make it as real as possible. In addition to the fake 'Mujahideen', fake radio transmissions are being made with constant reference to the camps, usually refering to the camp name as the cities near to it, giving the location away purposely. Then, where is the real training camp? Though there are some 'real' training camps scattered around Al Ittihad territories, most of them are decoys, and the possibility of bombing a real training camp is much less than bombing a decoy one. In addition to that, old rail way systems that are tunnel based in major cities like Samara, Tikrit, Baqubah, and Miqdadiyah are being used as training grounds for the Mujahideen, plus, the mountains and hills are being utilized as both camps and defensive positions as well, similar to those in Afghanistan by the Taliban.

The strains of "Tachanka" echoed up and down the road on the outskirts of Erbil which ran south towards Fallujah. A line of BTR-60PAs, some 32 in all, lined the road, roaring along as fast as they could manage, their tires throwing up clouds of dust from the dry, hot asphalt. Tricolor banners streamed from their radio antennae, wind torn black, green, and red standards. Here and there, a torso protruded from the APCs hatches. Some wore uniforms bearing a patch which read simply "Elbrus", and bore the image of a large blue mountain, others "Puzikas" and white and black leopard on a red background. All were poised at stiff attention, scanning the landscape slowly, like a rabbit spotted by a wolf.

It had been months since the last deployment, but now Col. Nina Yaroslav was back in her element: the ever violent land of Iraq. This time, her mission was simple: capture the surviving Chechens who had sided with the terrorist front, and then make a fighting withdrawal.

In theory, anyways. But practice nothing was so simple, and there were always room for mistakes. Especially on the MVDs first mission abroad, and an exhausting 27 hr drive from their home in Nalchik. They had rested after crossing the border from Iran the previous night, but it a six hour advance still remained. What the men needed was some motivation. After all, they would come in contact with then enemy sooner, probably, than later.

Nina glanced at the fluttering red triangle pennant which marked hers as the lead BTR, then slammed the hatch shut above her head. Retreating into the crevices of the dark interior she shouted to her crewmen over the din of the engines, "My Shashka, my Shashka! Hand it to me!"

A hand appeared from out of the gloom, bearing a battered scabbard and ancient saber. Nina nodded her thanks, then reemerged from the hatch. After a moment of fumbling, the freed the sword from it’s scabbard, and exposed it's shimmering blade to the desert sun. Waving it in a circular motion above her head, she pressed down on her throat microphone and exclaimed, "Daleye! Daleye! Na Rodinu!"

Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Department of Foreign Relations and Correspondence

To: Bashriyyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs
From: Hatayan Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Encryption: MAXIMUM
Chiefly, we will remind the Minister of Defense of the Bashriyyan Arab Republic that crude language is not acceptable in proper diplomatic correspondence. Secondly, while the attacks are not necessarily conducted by AIAI, they against OUR border defenses, this is an attack against our sovereignty, Hatay will not tolerate aggression by terrorists operating out of Bashriyya, which Bashriyya fails to manage. It seems ever so that ever since Khalid Al-Nasheed was assassinated that Bashriyya cannot control terror organizations using Bashriyya as a base. We DEMAND that such insurgents, barbaric and ruthless extremists face armed force from the Bashriyyan government or we will not hesitate to take actions we deem necessary to defend our territorial integrity. We will also propose that Hatayan and Bashriyyan forces work together to eliminate the jihadist attempting to destabilize both our nations.
Regards,
Foreign Minister Abdullah Rahman

Anbar Province, Iraq

Mustafa Hassan began to speak with his officers, "Men, Akhmadov has escaped, now we cannot lose the support of our men to the AIAI, so I am going to have Akhmadov's men released for now, despite his treason, if we have Akhmadov released maybe the AIAI will stop trying to tempt our men to defect." Mustafa began to get anxious and he said "Rumors are that Hatayan special forces is operating in this province, I have heard they destroyed one of our arms caches? Is this true?" to which an officer replied "It is true, but we have more men, it does not matter a bunch of Hatayan faggots will not stand against our Mujahideen."

Mustafa Hassan said "Release Akhmadov's men, let them join AIAI, we will not bother them from then on, we will focus on these Hatayans, I want you to issue a deceleration to see if we can draw the Hatayans all in one spot and crush them, I also want you to have the Knights of Islam attack the Arab Liberation Front, we need to threaten the Rafidah, see if you can have the Knights of Islam link up with the Saddam loyalists, we need a United Front to take out the Rafidah."

the men then left their post to their orders, a video was made addressed to Hatayans and the Kurds

The men reported to be thirteen captured Kurdish fighters were on their knees, their hands handcuffed and their eyes covered with blindfolds, standing over them were three masked men of the JAI, the captured equipment was shown on the ground this equipment would now be used by the JAI!

the masked man in the middle said "These Kurds were captured plotting to destroy the popular will of the Ummah in Iraq, they are backed by the Hatayans to commit terrorist attacks against the Muslims."

each of the thirteen Kurds was marched out of the court yard and forced back on their knees this time they were kneeling over a mass grave and their blindfolds had been removed, the three Jihadists then gunned down the Kurds into the mass grave.

A message was shown

"Meet us at Wadi Hauran where the battle shall be!"

the camera then cut.

After this, Akhmadov's men were being released all over Anbar, a mass exodus could be seen leaving for Diyala. Mustafa Hassan was trying to force them to leave the area, he became worried that AIAI was plotting attacks on him, and was doing everything to prevent it, he knew he could prevent them from attacking him if he could show himself as a buffer against Kurdish and Shiite militias, he wanted to appear useful to the other local Sunni insurgent factions whether it was the AIAI or the Saddam loyalists.

Knights of Islam headquarters in Fallujah

The break up of Jaysh Al-Islam began to encourage the leadership of the Knights of Islam to turn away from their current alliance with Jaysh Al-Islam to instead join the Military Council for Jihad and Liberation

Knights of Islam's foreign spokes person under orders from the leader made the announcement

Knights of Islam unites with the AIAI

"In the name of God the Compassionate and the Merciful,

We the lions of the Knights of Islam, are now officially ending our ties with Jaysh Al-Islam due to certain moral concerns with the leadership, we are pleading our new allegiance away from the JAI and we are pledging our allegiance to the Al-Ithaad Al-Islamiya, we hope that this new unified front will restore Islam in Iraq and will defeat the forces of the Rafidah and their foreign backers and mercenaries."

In reality Mustafa Hassan's plan had ultimately come into tuition, his goal was to spread out the Sunni insurgency in-between AIAI and the Knights of Islam to form a more unified front to be able to oppose Lonograd, Jaysh Al-Islam's goal was merely to distract the Arab Liberation Front, Jaysh Al-Islam fought like a regular army, while the AIAI and KOI were skilled in guerilla combat and would be the true threat to the ALF.

Mustafa Hassan's new goal would be to refocus Jaysh Al-Islam on it's true enemy the Arab Awakening Front, the powerful Nifonese proxy that had killed his men in the plains of Nineveh, he had one goal and that goal was vengeance and glory to Islam or was it glory to Mustafa Hassan?

OOC: I have permission from Bashriyya to do this.

Ealiat Waqawia Province, Hatay, Exact Location REDACTED

At a secret training site for the Khalas Aljumhuria, men of this feared group of warriors trained, flipping around in the air, moving through mud under barbed wire. Shooting targets from extreme distances. Training with martial arts in perfect synchronization, it was the dead of night. Yet they practiced as if it was day, taking apart and putting rifles back together in the pitch black. Two commanders wearing army fatigues and berets viewed the newest Jaysh Al-Islam video. They nodded silently.
"Major sir, we won't meet this challenge? Why recognize them?" asked the lower ranking one.
"But my dear Captain, that's what they expect us to do. We will go to Wadi Hauran. It shall the perfect spot to catch some of Jaysh Al-Islam and destroy them." He turned off the iPad and took it inside, he walked into the tent with the Captain. "It will be just as an eagle scooping up a rabbit from the ground."

Wadi Hauran Next Day

The group of jihadists stalked the area, the had a tank. They were not exactly expecting an attack from the Hatayans, but were ready for one. They carried both Kalashnikovs, Norinco CQ rifles, the cheap Chinese knockoff of the M16, reverse engineering foreign products is something the Chinese were very good at. President Jiang Zemin had allowed China to become such a pesky power. Two men Amal Husayn and Hasim Mostafa walked about with Norinco CQ rifles wearing mostly civilian clothing but with some combat fatigues and body armor. They looked everywhere.
"Are the Hatayan kuffar really going to come?" asked Amal.
"Perhaps, if they do they won't expect such a well-armed force. This will be the chance for our Ummah to smash those perverse animals. False Arabs. False Muslims." replied Hasim.
"But all this waiting, something is off." But their discussion was cut off, from the top of all a group of men on motorcycles appeared. They fired H&K 416 rifles down onto the group. Before retreating down the other side of the hill, a few jihadists fell.
"Green Group, defend the artillery guns!" shouted the commander. As a group of fighters ran to protect a group of towed artillery guns. "Blue group, with me!" The commander charged over the hill with his men trailing behind him. "Move in crescent moon formation, to surround them!" The men formed a thin line in a crescent moon formation. They arose over the hill to see the Hatayan special forces in a circle of motorcycles and light utility trucks. The jihadists began to fire. Then Hatayans returned fire.
"Seems as if they came!" shouted Hasim over the din of the rapid fire gun shots, ducking behind the hill.
"Let's give them a proper greeting akhi!" replied Amal. "ALLAHU AKBAR!" He rose to shoot and fired several rounds before collapsing after a shot struck him. The tank rose up and was about to fire before a Hatayan shouldered an anti-tank rocket and fired. It sliced through the tank and it exploded. The Hatayan Special Forces hopped onto their vehicles and drove through the new hole in the thin line. They burst through it, firing bullets to the side, striking Hasim in the chest. The drove off, towards the artillery and the jihadists followed. The Commander looked up and his eyes widened. In the waning sun of Iraq he could see five shadows. Shadows of planes. Zulfiquar Squadron, a feared squadron of Hatayan A-10s known for fighting skill and preciseness came out of the sky. The group of jihadists now bunched together in the open watched as the artillery guns vanished in a burst of fire. The Special Forces drove towards the peak of another hill. AGM-65 Maverick Air-to-ground missiles soared downwards in an arc of fire, striking to ground, driving fire and smoke into the air, and the bodies of jihadists. Jihadists ran about to avoid the missiles. The Jihadist commander hopped onto his motorcycle driving away. He advanced to maximum acceleration, heading towards a tree line far off. One A-10 spotted him and swerved towards him. It began firing it's Avenger gatling gun. Machine gun bullets began to follow his motorcycle as it drove off. The sand bouncing up behind him. The commander gnawed his teeth and his drove. Eventually, bullets ripped through his back and he screamed. The motorcycle flew into the air and exploded, his corpse was flung into the air. The remaining jihadists fled in despair as Hatayan Special Forces picked some of them off with American Barrett M82 sniper rifles. What a victory!

The first sign something had gone wrong was the artillery shell landing in front of Nina's APC. The second sign had been her driver, dragging her by the collar of her uniform as the crew bailed from the burning hulk of the vehicle.

The road had been blocked with the wrecks of the first four BTR-60PAs smoldering in the noon-day sun, as machine gun fire fell around them, and bloodied bodies lay half melted on the tarmac. It was a sickening scene, one Nina would remember of the rest of her life. At first, she'd been stunned, her mind racing in a futile attempt to understand what had just happened to her. But then, she had run out of time to think, and simply stood. Waving her sword, she'd ordered the remains of the first batallion to stay put, till the casualties of first few vehicles could be rescued, and for the second batallion group, the 44th, to fall back. That had cost them four more APCs, and her precious sword, which had been shot from her hand, but it had given the tail of the column the time it needed to escape, and just enough time for the survivors of the groups vanguard to escape.

The memory of the smell of burning gasoline and death woke the commander from her sleep, her uniform soaked in a cold sweat. It had been three days since they'd tried to advance on Tikirt, but the memory for the MVD commander was still fresh and raw. She sighed, wiped her brow, and shook the thoughts from her head. Now was not the time to morn the losses of the mission, nor question her judgement. Now was the time to think ahead, to the comping battle. A day ago, the MVD had received a communique from Military Intelligence: Akhmadov and his men were retreating towards Diyala from Anbar.

They'd sortie from their base in Kirkuk, then. The remains of the 88th would head into Diyala from the Iraqi side as a feint, and hopefully catch Akhmadov by surprise, perhaps route him but more likely cause him to counter attack. That's when the 44th, "Puzikas", would come into play, streaking into the governate from the Iranian side, capturing Akhmadov and whoever else they could apprehend, then exiting as quickly as they came.

It was a risky plan, but it was the only plan Nina had left open to her, if her mission were to succeed. Clearly, merely churning along roads, into further ambushes, or dismounting her troops to see them picked off outside their carriers would not lead to success. No, it was time to call upon the cavalry heritage of the gendarmes, and make a swift and decisive raid. Tightening the bandage around her wounded right hand, Nina nodded to her second in command, and rolling her map up and thrusting it beneath her armpit, clambered out of the APC of the 88th that for the last few days had been her home and hospice. Slowly, she limped across the campgrounds, top the awaiting APCs of the 44th Battalion. A cry echoed through the darkness of the desert camp on the outskirt of Kirkuk. "Start Engines!"
