Okinawa Map
The island, known as "Okinawa" for the purposes of the exercise, has a point at its northern point which shall be called "Cape Hedo" for the purposes of the exercise. It has a small population and the population that might get in the way will be temporarily evacuated, and compensated by the nations collectively taking part in the exercise. Some parts of this northern cape consist of rocky cliffs, while other parts are sandy beaches with rocky cliffs flanking.

The island is tropical, and inland there are palm forests. Due to the expressed wishes of the local population, there is to be no intense digging or combat engineering in the area. Instead, it is to be presumed that the exercise, which will be carried out over a 2 day period, did not provide sufficient time for defending troops to dig in.

The exercise is to take place between Hedo, the northernmost town, to Uka to the West and Sosu to the East, approximately 15 km south of the point on either side, and the area in between. Further detailed instructions will be forthcoming.

FROM: Commander, Allied Operations.
We have brought together an alliance with the aim of protecting a bond of nations dedicated to the purpose of advancing civilization. There are, however, many organizations and countries that do not want to see such a cause advance. These organizations and nations prefer chaos and lawlessness. Therefore, we have to be able to use force as a group of allied nations to the best of our ability.

The proposed exercise will be called OPERATION WHIPLASH. The purpose of the operation is for one task force to attempt to land a division sized force of infantry on an island. The purpose of a second task force will be to attempt to prevent this landing. A third task force will act as the referees.

Currently, this operation is in the planning stages. Member states are encouraged to help accomplish the following:

1. To have a landing zone and surrounding environment available. This area must not have a huge amount of regular civilian traffic and must be as free as possible from any seaborne or coastal criminal activity.

2. Volunteers for Forces A (invasion force) B (defending force) and C (referee force. This must at least have extensive air and sea borne tracking capability)
