PLOT:
- We need to consolidate our land gains against Malvin pushback.
- Aerial BARCAPs are protecting crucial supply corridors running southbound to El Calafate, our current forward operating base.
- We have key aerial assets north and West of El Calafate behind these BARCAP lines (Tankers and E2D) that must be protected.
- V-22 Ospreys making constant personnel runs north-south along these supply routes; must be protected.
- Uzi and Viper Flights are en route from Hawaii. While enroute, Malvin mine-layers were detected and Uzi (carrying heavy ordinance) is being re-tasked to perform an unusual Antiship role.
- Chevy is on-station at the Tarawa and prepared to support Close Air Support to Andean resistance looking to overtake the O'Higgins Airbase.
