Situation

Background Information
Expected Level of Combat : ☆☆☆ Expected Level of RP: ☆☆ Expected Difficulty: ☆☆☆ --- MODERN REFORGER TRIAL - THIS WILL BE WIP --- --- INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS - ALTERNATIVE TIMELINE --- --- SEE CONSIDERATIONS --- 2 Weeks following the disastrous Operation Red Wings, US forces in the Kunar Province have been in bitter fighting with Taliban forces throughout the Korengal Valley Just yesterday, an MQ-9 Reaper Drone conducting a reconnaissance mission over the Shuryak Valley was shot down after suffering GPS Guidance failures via suspected Electronic Warfare. This combined with Turbine 33's downing during Operation Red Wings resulting in the deaths of 11 Navy SEALs and 8 Nightstalkers, along with Culture 05's downing last week on Rougal Hill resulting in the deaths of 16 US Marines, 4 US Army Aircrew and Afghan Ambassador to the UK Abdullah Abdullah has resulted in a no-fly zone over Korengal and Shuryak Valley. Before aircraft can be diverted from the Nuristan Province, it has been decided that time is of the essence and a plan must be made now. With ongoing fighting in the Korengal Valley drawing much needed manpower and resources, it has been decided to hand off the mission of recovering the data from the MQ-9 Reaper Drone to the US Marine Raiders, arrived this morning at COP Michigan. As a result of EW, lack of time to properly study the footage and the corruption of the saved file, information on the activity in Shuryak Valley is blurry. It is imperative that MARSOC are able to get the data from the drone and destroy the wreckage. It is understood that data on the drone will reveal the location of the stronghold of the main Taliban Cell operating in the Korengal Valley. The location of the drone has been spotted via Satellite Imagery. It appears to be on a hillside in the South West of Shuryak Valley deep within Tribal Afghani territory. US Marine Recon stationed at OP Eagle have been trading fire with Taliban over the town of Khan Abad, so it is known that Taliban are operating at the mouth of the Valley. Blackwater PMC's are operating in Bar Kanday and have been offering support in maintaining a peace in the region. MARSOC will step off from COP Michigan, move to the Shuryak Valley and as necessary, fight their way to the location of the MQ-9 Reaper Drone. They will recover the data, destroy the drone and use the information gathered to conduct a search and destroy mission.
