[Deadmeat1471]

Sunday 17th April 2011.
USS Kearsarge(US) of the coast of Libya.

2 Group commandos and 51 group special service squadron meet in the mess hall, exchanging cheerful fists and brotherly knees to the jaw. The commandos seemed to be getting the upper hand when a giant of a man,  SilentThunder as his name tag states, lumbered in and knocked two commandos flat on their behinds.
"ALL RIGHT YOU MUPPETS!" came a voice from the door, the two groups stopped the brawl as if frozen for a second or two, then jumped about tripping over chairs and tables and 'fallen' comrades to stand at attention. It was the general.

Later after everyone freshened up...

"Washington has decided in all its wisdom, to step past the UN mandate over Libya" the general jerked his arm and pointed towards a map of Libya on the wall.
"We are to send in a multinational force to engage and destroy the Libyan army, US forces, Brits, Swedes, French, even some god damn A-rabs." the general then winked at the turban headed Marine standing at the door.
"Brass have called this operation 'Mission One'" he pulled out a file from his desk and looked back at his class of elite soldiers.
"We need the best, so we called you, the Bay12 International Special Force Command has provided soldiers for some of the most important missions of our age" he winced, as if the compliment gave him intense pain.
"The mission is simple, you must join up with local democratic rebels and take a village outside of Misrata asa staging area for further attacks"
"we are sending you because we need this mission to succeed with the least loss of Allied lives". His eyes dropped, his smile evacuated the area, he was clearly disappointed.

"Your forces consist of" he turned the page.
"2 group commando inserted via parachute the night before, commanded by Lt. Box."
"51 group special service squadron inserted via Lynx helicopter, commanded by Lt. SilentThunder"
"Attached to 51 group is the legendary sniper Sgt. Inteuniso."
He turned the page.
"We expect the rebels to have three platoons of.." he cringed "Motorised civilian forces".
"Even if they arrive, they shouldn't be counted on, you are essentially on your own down there".
"On the bright side, you have two AV8 Harriers to call in if you need them, but also a French Mirage."
He turned away and the officers in the room began to leave.
"Oh and, I'll be joining you, so fuck up and the last thing you will feel is my knife up your ass".
He caressed good old knifey in her legholder.


April 4th, Choppers inbound.

The choppers leave the carrier and head for the Libyan coast. The sea raging below holds ominous visions for the soldiers for the comming mission....

"INCOMING SAM!" an extremely calm voice whispers. Voices in the cockpit demand "BREAK RIGHT!" and "LAND HERE, NOW!" followed by a jolt as the chopper lands and "GO GO GO GET OUT NOW!". They got out, dust blocking all but the sun from view.
As the helicopters take off to return to a safe area, tracers fly past them from Libyan AA fire.
54 Squadron is on the ground.

Lt. SilentThunder lay prone on the crest of a berm and waved his radioman over. "Call in for air support, we have  3 T72's overwatching the objective. The Radio operator nodded and began the call the co-ordinates in.
The Libyans evidently knew they had been spotted, and scrambled into their tanks driving towards 54 squadrons position. SilentThunder called in the new coordinates of the advancing tanks.
The british 54 find cover and prepare to repel the Libyan tanks, with anti tank rockets at the ready they remain as yet unseen by the Libyans.

"Were under mortar fire and have tanks approaching our position" Lt. SilentThunder told the radio as mortar shells fall behind him. "Roger that, we have 2 commando loading up in Lynx's to assist, ETA 15 minutes, over".

Flying low over the desert the Lynx's dodged and weaved enemy fire and SAM's, eventually a Lynx takes a hit on the tail from a hand held AA rocket. It smokes deep black plumes and puts the chopper in a stuttery wobble, but the pilots skill manages to land it safely and the commandos jump out and begin to move towards their allies on foot.

A harrier came over the horizon and several objects dropped from its wing and exploded on what looked like a Libyan infantry group. Missiles and AA fire scoured the sky around the plane, one missile looked like it exploded very close but the harrier flew off out of sight and presumably back to base.

After watching this, SilentThunder saw one of the tanks aim near his position and fire. Everyone put their heads down, but someone screamed. The tank shell had hit one of the other sections and wounded a man.
The squads get up to a crouch and frantically pull back behind a ridge to safety, 3 men have been wounded or killed by the tanks.
Another Harrier flew overhead Silent as it strafed a T-72, failing to score a kill. AA fire and missiles chase the Harrier across the horizon.
SilentThunder peeks over the ridge as he hears more jet engines, a French Mirage fires a missile at a tank and it explodes in a fireball. The crew bail, some engulfed in fire. SilentThunder pokes his men and points, they open fire with their machineguns and mow the crew down.
