Shock and Awe

'Marines, we have a possible fix on Al-Assad in the capital city. 1st Battalion is on the way there. Intel says that there is a warhead in the city. Speed is necessary. Force Recon and Wild Weasel units have taken out most AA's but ground forces still pose a threat.'

'Look's like we're throwing in everythin' we got. We got Al-Assad. We end this war right here and we go home.'

"Shock and Awe"

Day 3 - 18: 00: 04

Barsa Govermorate Easter Border, Iraq

Sgt Paul Jackson

1st Force Recon Co., USMC

'Approaching objective, thirty seconds'

'Outlaw, this is Deadly, mark up any troublemakers with the Mk19, we'll take out the big guns.'

'All callsigns, this is Overlord, we're seeing hostile armor to the west of the groove.'

'Jackson! Take out those armor so that the rest can advance.' Jackson shot the Mk 19 at the T-72's destroying them. 'Shit. RPG's on the rooftops! Take them out.' Jackson shifted his fire to the rooftops and shooting any hostiles.

'AA's on the rooftops. Infantry is making a run for their money. We're landing.'

'Roger that. Let's get those Abrams tanks on the front Bachelor-2-7. Outlaw, this is Command, unload half of your chalk and take the rest 2 clicks to the west. We got a advance tram pinned down.'

'Roger that, Command. We are en route.'

"Marines! We got a team pinned down. We're going to save their asses and bring them out. Oorah?" Vasquez briefed the team.

'Outlaw, this is Deadly. We're heading back to rearm and refuel. Your're on your own for now.'

'Team's popping green smoke to signal the LZ.'

'Confirm visual.'

Jackson and the rest unload and got ready to bring the forward unit back to the HQ for rest while the other units storm the Palace. "Let's get our boys evac'ed and get the hell outta this mess." Vasquez said not happy with the way things were going. A sudden motar shell exploded near the Marines and half of the team got shell-shocked. "Motar fire. Incoming!" A Marine shouted. 'LZ is too hot. We circle back in 3 minutes. "Watch for friendlies. Near the green smoke. Let's get them out of there." Vasquez team moved out and into the building. The team reached the second floor and prepared to bring the rest to the LZ. "Hold your fire. Friendlies on the second floor." A Marine said. "This is our ride?" The Captain of the advance team asked. "That's it, Captain. Let's move out before those bastards decide to regroup." Vasquez urgently said. "Sir! We got choppers." Volker said. The Mi-8's were fropping another bunch of troops again and well they didn't go so well. 'Outlaw this is Deadly, rearmed and refuled. You guys missed me?" The Cobra started firing missiles and machine guns at the helicopter and the ground units killing several of them. "Move out." Vasquez pushed some Marines to the bottom of the building to fight while the rest decided to stay at the top until it was safe. Jackson moved down to the bottom and hid from the machine gun across the building. "We need that MG taken out!" The team was pinned down with the MG from across the road firing on them. Jackson used one of his flashbangs and tossed it at the entrenched enemy allowing others to move up. He then moved into the building to the right and silenced the two RPD's in the building. The team moved towards the LZ and waited for the chopper to arrive. "Jackson, get on the Mk19." The crew chief instructed.

'Outlaw, this is Command. We got some good news and bad news.'

'What's the good news?'

'We confirmed a warhead in the west and NEST teams are on their way. But we have to fall back until it is safe to attack again.'

A stinger missile tracked the Cobra's tail rotor and spun it out of control.

'Mayday! Mayday! We're going down.'

'Command, we have a Cobra down. Requesting a search and rescue operation.'

'Deadly, come in. What's your stats?'

'Keating's KIA but I'm fine.'

'Retrieve that pilot if you can.'

Jackson and the team moved out to rescue the pilot. "Jackson! Pull her outta there. There's not much time left!" Vasquez was worried that the Nuke might go off at any moment. Jackson yanks Captain Pelayo out of the cockpit and carries her back to the Sea Knight. 'Uhh. Vasquez? Now would be a good time to GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE?' Outlaw was also rushing for time hoping that they would be safe. Jackson reached the Sea Knight and puts Pelayo down and covers the team while they get back into the helicopter. "GO GO GO!" Vasquez now in a serious rush urged the Sea Knight to take off. 'Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. Hang on.'

'Outlaw, this is Command, we have a confirm nuclear device and NEST teams are attempting to disarm it. I repe-...' The Nuke detonated and its shock wave sent choppers heading to the east spinning it out of control. "Hang on!" Lt. Vasquez said. Everyone braced for impact as Volker was thrown out of the Sea Knight due to G-Force. The Sea Knight crashed as Jackson blacked out and the others, dead.
