The Kingdom of the Horizon Islands archipelago is a strategic ally of the US due to its geographic location. To improve relations, the US and the Kingdom made weapon trade agreements, where the US sold off some of its old equipment to compliment their aging Soviet era equipment.
The local King is generally liked by the public, however, the General in charge of the military does not. Just a few days ago, he organised a coup d’état to overthrow the King and capture any loyalists. They also made threats against the US to stay out of their affairs or to suffer consequences.

II Mission
Our unit is tasked with locating and rescuing the King. A loyalist within the hostile forces has provided limited intel regarding the whereabouts of the King. Based on the latest info, he is located in an Airbase to the North West of the Tanoa Islands on a military training island. As we are not sure what they might do to the King, time, stealth and speed is of the essence. Once rescued, and extracted, we are to take out some key targets and rescue any loyalists.
USS Liberty is available for fire support and has preplanned targets on the island for when you are ready to start your assault. This will take out the communication infrastructure to prevent communication with the mainland.
III Execution
