REF   :  OPERATION 'SAND COBRA'

THIS IS AN  ** EMERGENCY ACTION MESSAGE **  IN FOUR PARTS

FIRST PART :  GROUP AGS - SAIL INTO THE ENTRANCE TO THE RED SEA, AND ANCHOR
              OFF THE FRIENDLY BASE THERE. DEPLOY MARINES BY MV-22 AND CH-53.
              THE RED AIR BASE ON A NEARBY ISLAND WILL HAVE TO BE NEUTRALIZED.
              OPERATE WITH CAUTION, THERE ARE NO AVAILABLE REINFORCEMENTS.
              ENEMY FAC(M) ACTIVITY HAS BEEN REPORTED BY SIGINT.  SECURITY AND
              EVACUATIONS OF US AND FRIENDLY NATIONALS WILL REQUIRE 72 HOURS.

SECOND PART : GROUP AKS - IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT AN IRANIAN MERCHANT SHIP OR
              AMPHIB, EN ROUTE TO AN IRANIAN PORT, IS STOPPED. IT HAS BEEN
              CONFIRMED THAT IT IS CARRYING A NEW TYPE OF NORTH KOREAN IRBM.
              IT MUST BE SUNK, ALONG WITH ANY POSSIBLE ESCORTS.  HUMINT 
              REPORTS THAT IRAN HAS AGREED TO SHARE THIS NEW MISSILE TECHNOLOGY
              WITH IRAQ.  THIS THREAT HAS TO BE STOPPED NOW.

THIRD PART :  THE CURRENT CRISIS IN KOREA AND TAIWAN HAS FORCED THE USAF TO
              REDEPLOY ALL OF ITS ASSETS FROM SAUDI ARABIA OUT OF THE REGION.
              A SQN OF USN F-18 AND ASSOCIATED E-2 AND C-SAR ASSETS HAVE 
              BEEN FORWARD DEPLOYED TO DHAHRAN AB.  USE THESE TO HELP MAINTAIN
              THE SOUTHERN IRAQ AIR EXCLUSION ZONE.  DO NOT LOSE ANY PLANES.
              IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO DETACH ANY MORE CARRIER AIRCRAFT TO
              ASSIST YOU.  

FOUR PARTS :  IRAN HAS JOINED IRAQ IN LATEST THREAT TO PEACE IN THE REGION.
              YOU ARE AUTHORIZED TO IMPLEMENT PRE-EMPTIVE AIR AND MISSILE
              STRIKES ON STRATEGIC TARGETS.  AIR BASES AND NAVAL FORCES ARE
              TO BE CONSIDERED PRIMARY TARGETS.   IRANIAN GUNBOATS HAVE BEEN
              HARASSING MERCHANT SHIPPING IN THE GULF.  REMOVE THESE THREATS

GOOD LUCK,  RADM

A few notes on the above..... 
-----------------------------

Don't use tactical nukes unless the RED forces do.... it isn't politically
approved.

It is possible to destroy all enemy ships and planes, and to destroy most
of the bases in the time allowed....  4 days.

Your aircraft carrier must be protected at all costs.

The BLUE Victory Conditions require the destruction of both Tehran and Baghdad,
which can be done by air strikes if the carrier is in the northern part of the
Persian Gulf.   Your Tomahawk missiles will have been used up by then.

Remember, that the USMC Harriers can carry AIM-120 AAMs to help with air 
defense.  The AIM-120 is a primary A/A weapon, and has replaced the AIM-7.

The F-14s are fully capable of ground-attack missions.

Use AGM-65 AGMs rather than conventional bombs as these are the closest weapons
to the planned JDAM and JSOW systems.

Your Carrier Air Wing has been designed to represent one possible version of
what might be on the flight deck at the start of the next century.
