Helmand Valley (Sector Alpha)

Part of an internal Co-Op campaign organized by UST101, inviting us to participate.

Situation

Located in Helmand Valley Province.

JUNE 2007

It has been a few months since the British army fought one of the toughest clashes against the Taliban in the Helman Valley. Today the Sangin sector is controlled. But it is only a matter of time before the situation changes completely as we are receiving reports that several militia cells are mixing with the civilian population. Many of the villagers are helping the militia, giving them shelter or even taking up arms. The constant aerial reconnaissance has not brought much, nothing indicates that the militia is in the area. The villagers continue with their day-to-day life, ignoring the British army's indications.

AUGUST 2007

The sectors of the town of Sangin catalogued as high risk. Confrontation is imminent. Each time a patrol has entered the area, it has had direct contact with the militia.

EOD Team

Only explosives specialists will be able to deal with IEDS. They have their own vehicle with everything they need.

Objectives

• Enter and secure Sierra Sector

Intelligence

• The High Command orders you to search all downed Taliban for some form of identification. The bureaucrats want to name the fallen Taliban.
• Possibility of some Antiaircraft Strela.
• It is confirmed that some civilians give shelter and even take up arms if they are threatened. EXTREME CAUTION.
• Our diesel supplies are at red level. There are hardly any cans of gasoline left and the vehicles are dry. That has not prevented the High Command from sending us to this operation.
• Average likelihood of armed civilians
• Confirmation of the presence of militia cells. HIGH possibility of IEDS.
