You are currently part of an International Coalition led by US Force elements, inserted into Georgia after the failure to comply with UN Resolution 6532 by the infamous 'HAMMER FORCE'. This highly adaptable, well motivated and extremely well equipped enemy, is made up solely of Ex Professional Russian Forces led by Lt General Sergey Ivanov; an exiled Russian General by the Russian Government, post Invasion in 2009.

President Klitshtov of GEORGIA was assinated on the 28th January 2011 by the Infamous 'Hammer Force'. They paraded his body, and hung it from street lamps. An Operation was mounted swiftly to dent Hammer Force and retrieve the body; OP SWITCHBLADE. Now, almost a year later, in some form of sick re-visit, 'Hammer Force' have recently took the dead Presidents children hostage, killing their bodyguards in the process and wounding their mother, Georgia's First Lady. International outcry and condemnation is rife, but ultimately the eyes of the world are on the BLUEFOR coalition currently in theatre after the failure to comply with UN Resolution 6532, to retrieve the children and severely reduce Hammer Forces's Comabt Effectiveness, by kinetic strike force operations. This Mission is to be called: 'OP SWITCHBLADE 2'

The children are currently being held in the same vehicle that still has their fathers stench inside. The infamous 'Blue' truck of death, is in ZUGDIDI Square where 'Hammer Force' have a temporary FOB. Throughout the past year 'Hammer Force' have significantly bolstered their forces along the ZUGDIDI coridoor and so you should expect stiff resistance!

The Threat posed by 'HAMMER FORCE' is significant. Manpower = 5000+ and well equipped with SAM viarants, AAA and 5th Generation MBT's with ARV's and IFV's used mainly as Ground Domination and Surge operations. Coalition J2 suggests that they have recently accepted 5 defectors; all Russian AH Pilots.

To Provide CAS to a British Armd Inf Patrol, by clearing the route of advance into ZUGDIDI, by destroying overt 'HAMMER FORCE' elements at key locations, 'SO THAT' the Patrol meets limited resistance, 'IN ORDER' for a ground presence in ZUGDIDI for Special Forces to insert via Heli (PONTIAC), and retrieve the children of body of the late President Klitshtov.
