After the successful development and training of a covert special-operations unit designated the Warfighters, they have been sent out on their first assignment into a warring country. Their task is to cooperate with the local populace and oust the Insurgents. This will not be a simple battle but, rather, a long grueling conflict of which the victor will be decided by each faction's actions.

VOX mode, hot mic-ing, and channel jamming are all prohibited. Please familiarize yourself with your radio and program in its channels before arriving at the field.
Preferred DressThis event does not have a strict dress code. You will be given elastic armbands and/or patches to wear that will indicate your faction and reduce the risk of friendly fire. Please attend even if you aren't wearing the recommended apparel.
No TreasonYou must remain loyal to your faction and not betray them, because any form of treason will break this game.
No Spawn-campingYou and your faction are not allowed to stalk, surround, or fire upon the enemy self-respawn locations. Likewise, they're not allowed to camp your self-respawns either.
Phase 1: Intel (11:00—12:00)At startex, the local Informant will arrive at Fort Harris to provide the Warfighters with the mapped location and numeric combination code to open a locked box that contains valuable intelligence to be utilized later in the operation. At 11:20, the Warfighters should make contact with the Informant at Swamp Base for another map/code drop. Then, at 11:30, the Warfighters should meet the Informant at South Bridge to receive the final map & code. Each piece of intel found in a box is smaller than a basketball and should be pocketed/protected by any Warfighter who is able to unlock it. Each box will earn 5 points for either faction with the points awarded to the Warfighters if it's unlocked or to the Insurgents if it remains locked at the end of this phase.
1st Pausex (12:00—12:15) All Warfighters are to rally at Fort Harris while all Insurgents are to rally at Sofa Chair for mission briefings.
Phase 2: Bombs (12:15—13:45)At the start of this phase, there will be three stationary "bombs" in play at veiled locations. The Insurgents want to detonate them, and the Warfighters want to prevent this from happening. Each faction will start from where it rallied during the 1st Pausex. If you are an Insurgent who has arrived at a bomb and is ready to start the 30-minute countdown timer to "blow up" the site, you must use the attached Baofeng radio to announce that the bomb at that site has been activated. If you are a Warfighter who has arrive at an activated bomb and is ready to pause the countdown timer, you must use the attached radio to announce that it has been paused at that site. If your transmission is successful, Game Control will echo back what you said within ten seconds; otherwise, radio it again. The countdown may be paused and restarted numerous times by the opposing factions as long as they use that same bomb's radio to make these announcements. Once a bomb has been detonated on a location, it is no longer in play for the rest of the phase, so the factions should focus on the remaining site(s).Each detonated bomb will earn 10 points for the Insurgents. Each bomb with a countdown timer that was never activated or is in a pause at 13:45 will earn 10 points for the Warfighters. Each bomb with a timer that is still counting down at 13:45 will earn 5 points for each faction.

2nd Pausex (13:45—14:00) Again, all Warfighters are to rally at Fort Harris while all Insurgents are to rally at Sofa Chair for mission briefings.
Phase 3: Assets (14:00—15:00)This is an all-out battle for local resources! During the prior phases, players will have noticed that there are eight blue jugs locked to some of the named locations around the area of operations (AO). Each faction will start from where it rallied during the 2nd Pausex. These assets are to be unlocked and collected by the factions to be brought to their respective supply depots located at the Castle for the Warfighters and Wolves' Den for the Insurgents. Assets may be stolen back and forth between the two factions before endex. The supply depots may be attacked and held by enemies. There is one combination that is the same for all of the assets' locks, and it will be revealed to all players at the start of this phase (14:00). The assets will only be scored once at endex. Each faction will earn 5 points each for the asset(s) that are within the walls of its supply depot at 15:00.
GoalThere are a total of 85 points up for grabs during this operation. The faction with the most points at endex will be declared the winner!
