Alders listened carefully as his commander gave the briefing of the latest mission he nodded in understanding of his current objectives, he stood as his commander finished the briefing and snapped a quick salute to him.

"aye aye sir understood sir, i will accomplish my objectives to the best of my abilities sir."

Alders began to gather his gear and started to head towards the craft to wait for the rest of his squad that should be arriving soon.

Trident grabbed his helmet and stepped on board the Super Stallion, carrying the Recon unit in first to strike from the right flank of the enemy forces. He stepped off the deck, and joined the rest of his squad inside of the helicopter, and closed the door behind himself.

"Okay men, we will be using stealth to hit the enemy as the lead strike force hits the directly. Once they have secured the beach and push the enemy back the main force will come in and taking the beach a second time and reinforce the strike force."

He told his squad as he strapped his helmet on and made sure his pack was on tight. They were going to jump into water under the radar and swim to shore. Once on shore he will have the Strike force launch their assault and take the beach. The Super Stallion, rotors began to spin and it lifted off the deck of the Amphibious Assault Ship, and head off to the jump point.

Alders took his helmet out from the crook of his arm and secured it on his head taking time to make sure his gas mask was on correctly. He entered the AAV and glanced around it surveying the squad he would be leading. He snapped a quick salute to his men and took hold of a stability rail near him.

"good afternoon men, you all know why we're here, but just so we're all clear im going to tell you again, today we will be undertaking a beach landing operation. We will be faced with landing on a heavily fortified beach . We will assault the enemy position and force them from it and continue to push them from the island. do you get me soldiers."

Alders waited as his men sounded off in unison. The AVV slowly began to lurch forward, it would only be a few short hours till they hit the coast then it would be proving time. Alders held his rifle in his hand as he performed a routine inspection of it, he pulled back the charging hammer making sure it was smooth so that it wouldn't jam. He released the charging hammer, satisfied it was in proper working order he loaded a magazine into his M-16 assault rifle and put one in the chamber. He took his seat from there and awaited the landing on the shore.

The Super Stallion reached the jump point as the back opened up for the Recon Squad to jump out. Each man stepped out and jumped off into the warm tropical waters. The unit had on re-breathers and swam unnoticed onto the beach using the shadow of night to hide them. Once on land the men stashed their water gear, and put on their bonnie caps, the recon trade mark. The made their way though the jungle to their position to strike the flank of the enemy once the strike force hit the enemies front. Trident ordered his men to take their positions, there were two scout snipers with him, and had them take the best advantage spot to cover the whole beach.

"Okay Marines, Launch the strike force now. Use your guns on your AAV's to soften them up and use smoke to cover you till you can get into hard cover."

He told marines quietly from his position watching the the horizon where the assault was going to take place, through high powered binoculars. He could see the tops of the AAVs as the made their way to the beach and the fight.

Slowly but surely the AAV hummed along quietly,the gentle waves jostling the troops within it slightly. It had been an hour and a half since they had set off and now the target island was in sight. Alders looked to his men and judged their preparedness then lowered his eyes down to his rifle he adjusted it so that it wouldn't hang to much. The AAV shook slightly as it made contact with the shoreline, the rear entrance door opened slowly and the troops inside made their way out. Alder followed suit and exited the vehicle.

"All right men this is where things get serious the assault is going to begin soon, Jackson i want you on the main gun laying down suppressing fire to give us time to get to cover. all right men on my signal we begin the assault."

Alders said quietly to his troops. Again he checked his gear and made ready for a mad dash to cover. He looked to Jackson and gave him the signal to fire, in mere seconds Jackson was lobbing 30 mm rounds from the AAV's cannon at the fortified position. Alders and his men took the initiative and began their run for cover. The enemy began to fire at Alders and his men as the AAV hammered away at their position.

Trident gave the go ahead for his scout snipers to take out the insurgents as they presented themselves to the strike force. The recon unit's hidden position and suppressed weapons would make spotting them impossible. Trident pressed his mic button to talk to his marines in th

"Okay Marines, we are giving you cover, don't worry about the machine gun nests we will take them out as the pop up. Keep pressing forward up on to the beach and into the vegetation."

He said still looking through is binoculars. Trident called out targets for his scout snipers and the preceded to take them out with a single bullet.

Alders slammed into the hard cover of a large rock along with the rest of his squad when a command came over his head set, he replied in the affirmative.

"all right guys we've got suppressing fire keeping the enemy busy command wants us to move up into the thicket and enter the base and force the insurgents out, understood."

Alders men nodded in compliance, he and his men then moved as quickly and as quietly as they could to the thick vegetation that surrounded most of the fotress.

Ghost crept his way from the beach, following Alder's squad to the thicket of overgrown vegetation that lined the beach's spearhead. His Mk. 14 was cradled in his hands, a reflex sight attached to the top rail. His handgun, the infamous 1911, was in it's saddle resting at Ghost's side.

"... And force the insurgents out, understood?" he heard the squad leader say. Ghost was working by himself for the time being, but decided that his expertise could be used in this situation. Without skipping a beat, Ghost crouched-ran his way up to a tree hidden under the foliage of it's own leaves and sprawling branches. The rifle he carried got slung onto his shoulder as he jumped and grabbed a hold of a thick branch protruding from it's base.

"This'll do." Ghost pulled himself onto the branch quietly and steadied himself by holding onto another branch with his right arm. The rifle was quickly wrung off of his shoulder and he made his way to the other side of the tree. His form hopped up onto another think branch that had a view of the insurgent base. His hand snaked into his ALICE's pouch, revealing a twelve-zoom scope. The reflex sight that adorned the top of his rifle was now replaced with the magnification scope.

"Alder, this is Ghost", the sniper said into his radio, "I've got the insurgent base in my sights. Have you guys reached the perimeter?" His finger reached down to the safety catch and released it. The same finger reached out to the bolt catch on his rifle and racked it back, briefly revealing a stack of twenty 7.62mm rounds. His hand was now resting on the pistol grip, waiting to pull the trigger.

 

[archangelnello]

Alders and his team hunkered low behind a large outcropping of rocks as shits flew left and right above them. Several of his men blind fired their rifles at the enemies fortifications and some others threw frag grenades. Suddenely a crackle sounded off over Alders radio. He picked it up and responded in turn.

"this is seargant alders copy ghost we have reached the perimeter, you are to target the insurgents operating the lmgs around the walls of the base."

Alders prepared for the shots to be fired and prepped himself for the full frontal assault on the fortress.  

[SFCommando69]

Ghost heard the response from Alder. His head creased to eye-level with the scope. The image was now larger and more focused, allowing him to see certain objects and persons.

Ghost whispered under his breathe as he prepared his first shot. His breathes became more and more slow and methodical. Sweat was forming along his brow and his palm. His target was busily reloading his partner's automatic weapon, an M240. Ghost slid his finger back and fired his first shot of the day. He watched through the scope as the man whipped around and fell to the ground.

"Their feed-man is bleeding out." Ghost readjusted to fire at the gunner paralyzed in a panicked state. His finger jerked back again and sent another round down range. The insurgent's head flicked back and his body crumpled behind the sandbags.
