CAMPAIGN-"SPECIAL OPS"*
NUCLEAR NIGHTMARE - Air Assault!
October 18, 1962 0900 Hours**

Special Note: If you use your support points, you don't have many. Do not purchase anything that won't fit on a air transport or you may not be able to use it.**

I strongly advise you to spread your men out in the C-123s. You have enough aircraft available to do that.Don't try to crowd too many into one transport. If you do, you may find some of them landing right in the middle of the enemy defenses.**

I have placed the drop zones in what I believe the best possible location. You can, however, if you wish, change them during the human deploy phase of the battle.**

Simply click on your A0 or Art observer, then the bombard button. Next, click on the spotter button until you see the C-123s listed. Then look to your left, see where the drop zones are scheduled. You can cancel any drop and then relocate it. But if you do, the consequences are on you, not me. Transport pilots are not known for being always on target.**

Your Orders:**

Commander, this is highly classified information. It cannot be stressed too much that as little as possible be made known to anyone outside your unit.**

You are to brief your men, all of them, yourself. The CIA, through its sources in the USSR has discovered that four nuclear devices have been hidden in the tiny town of Cornito, Las Tunas Province.**

It appears that Russia has plans to use these if things got too rough for them here. Fortunately, our boys moved so quickly that they were not fired.**

That is the good news. Now here is the bad news.**

Those nuclear devices are still there as well as the men who can still send them flying.**

Since the war here is over to all intent and purposes, most air assets are headed to Europe. The losses in helicopters prevents us from using them this time.**

We were able to scrounge some C-123 transport aircraft from the 82nd. The division is on its way to Germany. Two Army pathfinder units did hang around to give us a hand. There are also Special Forces units at the eastern bridge to take care of any enemy forces guarding it.**

No wise cracks about "Army brats!" These guys are going in first and lining up landing areas for us.**

Be sure to clear that airstrip. YOu'll have a C-130 coming in shortly after you land with some help for you.**

I'm not sure where we'll end up after the jump but you know your assignments. Those nuclear materials must be neutralized on the spot. That is your primary mission.**

You'll be going in by parachute. And you thought those two weeks at Fort Benning were a waste of time! You'll be dropped on the east side of Cornito. From there you will work or fight your way into the town.**
 
You platoon leaders have a general map of the area and the suspected hidden sites where the devices might be located. Get in there quickly and take over these positions. If we do not, a nuclear holocaust might be upon us. Once you have the devices, These are to be neutralized at once.**
 They enemy will try to retake them. That must not, repeat, must not happen.**

You and your men may be the key to avoiding a total nuclear war. These weapons in the wrong hands could spell world disaster. I'm sure you realize how important your mission is. Be on your way.**
