You finalize the order for 70 refurbished soviet rifles, plus ammunition. You're pretty sure they've been sitting around somewhere collecting dust for at least a decade, but they're Kalashnikovs- they could have been at the bottom of a swamp for at least a decade and they'd still function. They're cheap, and your high-ups probably won't breathe down your neck too hard for supplying them to natives.
Slightly Later Mid-October, 2017, because there's still shit to do!
You're going over the upcoming raid with your tactical team leaders, discussing what resources they do and do not need, and going over potential tactics and methods of coordination with the rioters. Several, rather important, questions come up as a result of the discussion.
The team leaders want to know, exactly, what the scope of their mission is, and, rather critically, what their stance on prisoners is going to be.
As for Mission Scope...
A- Straight rescue. Use the revolt as cover and blitz your way to the hostages. Bug out as soon as you have them. The revolt can continue as it wishes from there.
B- Smash and grab. As above, except find and capture the radiation source that initiated this whole debacle in addition to grabbing the prisoners.
C- Occupy and Overthrow. Assist the revolt in overthrowing whatever existing power structure is in place, then sit tight and work with the locals with this 'God-King' problem.
As for Prisoners...
A- Disable when possible. We'd really love some prisoners to interrogate or exchange later on.
B- If they surrender, take them, but don't endanger yourself or go out of your way to get a prisoner.
C- Technically, these fellas are not covered by war crime conventions. If they surrender, shoot 'em in the head. Or the heart actually, that's a bit more poetic.
