Mission Briefing:
Major, your squadron is on the way to a classic night-time raid against the enemy air strip at Pebble Island. Your men are packed into two Sea Kings - the assault group in one, the support group plus an experienced forward observer in the other. The helos are to take the recon group already on the ground home as well. Use the designated LZs and meet up with the recon teams, who will guide you to your targets. Adverse weather should keep most defenders sleeping in the settlement.
Your mission goals are straightforward - go in unseen, hit all high-value targets found at the air field, and withdraw without any casualties, if possible without any firefight at all!
