MISSION OBJECTIVES

A USMC unit requires specialized equipment to be brought to FOB DWYER (OADY) immediately. You are tasked with delivering this vital equipment as soon as possible.

WEATHER AND NOTAMS

A weakening high-pressure area remains over the AOR, resulting in generally good VFR weather for the next 12 hours.

Visibilities will be 10+ SM in haze and dust.

Ceilings will remain approximately 15000-20000 scattered.

Expect light-moderate turbulence below 6000 feet.

INTELLIGENCE UPDATE – KHANDAHAR PROVINCE

Kandahar Airfield remains a fortress and the primary logistics/command hub for the entire RC-South region.

Immediate Threat: Low within the KAF perimeter.
External Threat: HIGH along all ground routes leading into and out of KAF. Expect sophisticated IED Belts and intermittent Indirect Fire (IDF) attacks (rockets/mortars) targeting the base perimeter, though effectiveness is usually low.
Recent Activity: High value targeting of Taliban leadership is yielding results, though retaliation is expected. A key Taliban commander, Haji Amir (operating in Dand, Zhari, and Panjwa'i districts) was eliminated via air strike just days prior (May 30th). This has temporarily disrupted insurgent command and control in the immediate vicinity of Kandahar City but is a temporary effect.
Key Units: US, Canadian (Task Force Kandahar), and other ISAF forces are garrisoned here. The airfield handles a massive volume of rotary and fixed-wing traffic.

FOB Dwyer is in the volatile Garamsir District of Helmand Province, to the west of Kandahar's primary AO. This area is historically a major Taliban and narcotics-trafficking stronghold and was a key focus of the initial Marine surge in 2009.

Security Posture: Aggressive and Kinetic. Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) forces (e.g., Regimental Combat Team 7/RCT-7, rotating to RCT-1) are operating out of Dwyer, constantly pushing security into the surrounding Green Zone (irrigation/farming area) and desert.
Immediate Threat: HIGH. The region is saturated with IEDs. Patrols are frequently engaged with Small Arms Fire (SAF) and Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs). Medevac (Dustoff) missions are a frequent occurrence, often under fire.
Operational Tempo: Extremely High. The Marines are actively suppressing the insurgency, extending the authority of the Afghan Government (GIRoA), and training Afghan National Army (ANA) partners. Air support and logistical resupply is a constant requirement.
Logistics Note: OADY is a key forward resupply point. Cargo must be secured and offloaded swiftly. Ground movement beyond the wire is extremely hazardous.

Air Transit Hazards (OAKN to OADY)

Your flight path takes you over some of the most contested terrain in Afghanistan.

Primary Threat: Small Arms Fire (SAF) from the ground, especially during low-altitude segments of the approach/departure from both airfields. Insurgents will attempt to target low and slow-flying aircraft, particularly multi-engine transports like the C-130.
Risk Area: The transition area between the relatively secure Kandahar and the highly kinetic Helmand province. Be particularly vigilant over the dense agricultural areas (Green Zones) of the Arghandab, Zhari, and Panjwa'i districts of Kandahar and the Green Zone leading to Dwyer.
Recommendation: Maintain operational flight levels (OFL) and adhere strictly to established ISAF Airspace Coordination Orders (ACOs) and Threat Avoidance Routes (TARs). Utilize all available aircraft defensive systems and vigilance from the crew.

MISSION DESIGNER NOTES

· Cargo will automatically be loaded into your aircraft at mission start, but you MUST add the weight into the CNI-MU. Total cargo weight is 25,904lbs.

· Your drag index is 10.

· This mission can be played single player or multicrew.

· This mission is a little different than my other missions. Radio calls will happen automatically without the player needing to change frequencies.

· Do fly your flight plan unless you are cleared to deviate from it, or operational reasons cause you to change things up.

· Mission triggers are based on units being at certain locations (for the most part), so try and fly your flight plan if you can.
