Operation Hollow Skull - 16th AGR and F99th PVE Event

Greetings on 9/9/2017 the 16th AGR and F99th virtual wings collaborated to carry out Operation Hollow Skull. Mission Brief:

Recently, a contacted located in the Nuclear Research Group of our Northern enemy contacted us with new information on the progression of the nuclear weapon development. Our worst fears are almost at hand, as they are very near to completing their first nuclear weapon. Our contact was able to provide us with documents on the weapons specifications and design, however he was captured before he could reveal the location of the production facility. The facilities general location is known, but do not know it's exact location. Today we will be running a mission to rescue the spy, and destroy the nuclear production facility before the bomb can be finished.

The first phase will consist of rescuing the spy from a military prison in the mountains, which will be conducted by Task Force Griffon. The enemy radar defenses are very dense, requiring the task force to ingress through the valley leading from the coast. The valley beings near an enemy air base, which will require the destruction of enemy air defenses and aircraft so that the helicopters can pass. At the same time, Task Force Neptune will be preparing an ingress route for the strike on the facility. Enemy air defenses are too strong for an overland route, so we must make a strike from the sea. Unfortunately, the enemy carrier group is currently positioned near the area with the production facility. In preparation for the strike, Task Force Neptune will destroy the carrier group. Prior to the attack on the carrier, two B-52's will conduct cruise missile attacks on the airbases at Novorossiysk and Gelendzhik to eliminate enemy fighter forces there.

Once the carrier group has been destroyed and the facility located, Task Force Neptune can RTB to refuel and re-arm if necessary. The strike package will form up off the coast in preparation for the strike. The enemy air defenses will need to be suppressed before the package moves inland. Once the enemy air defenses have been defeated, the strike package will determine the best route to the target. Fighter cover will move in and provide a CAP over the site. The strike package will move in and destroy the site. Egress will be through the same gap in the air defenses.

The mission was an overall success. If you'd like more information about the F99th and 16th AGR please feel free to reach out. http://www.f99th.com http://www.16agr.com/
