BRIEFING

SITUATION

Intel reports multinational criminal organizations are using the waterways in the Amazon river basin to transport heavy weaponry acquired from cartels in neighboring countries. This ever-growing network of criminal activity is largely funded by smuggling and illegal mining activities. The damage, both to the local population and the environment, grows day by day.

In response to this emergency, government authorities have decided to employ air power to deal a crippling blow to their operations. As of today, Operation Boitatá (Flame Serpent) is on. The objectives of this operation are to dismantle illegal mining operations in the Amazon River Basin, as well as destroy key criminal infrastructure facilitating smuggling operations.

We're being deployed to Belém Airbase, near the northwestern coast of Brazil. Just north of here, the Pará river, which connects the Amazon and Tocantins rivers, meets the sea - making this location ideal for flowing supplies out of the country. The Brazilian Navy has deployed a helicopter carrier, the A19 Arapaima, to the river in order to assist in this operation.

OBJECTIVES

Today we have two main targets. First is a clandestine dock housing several LPVs (Low Profile Vessels). Smugglers use these to transport contraband from all across Latin America all the way to the US and Europe, with the Amazon river as their gateway to the Atlantic ocean. This installation serves as a warehouse, refueling stop, and maintenance facility. Expect anti-aircraft guns and MANPADs. Disable the warehouses and maintenance facilities, and sink the LPVs.

The second target is an illegal airstrip, with a dirt runway cut out in the heart of the forest. Smugglers use these to transport contraband in and out of the country with low-flying aircraft. This particular one is the largest we've seen. Disable the runway and destroy any parked aircraft on the airstrip.

Additionally, four illegal mining sites have been selected for targeting. They are designated: Objectives Tango, Romeo, Sierra, and Uniform. Destroy all equipment and storage facilities at the illegal mining sites. In case there is an attempt to move the equipment out of these sites, you are authorized to seek and engage the fleeing targets.

FRIENDLY ASSETS

The A19 Arapaima helicopter landing ship is on station at the center of the AO. They have deployed Marine landing teams which have established FARPs near the river shorelines. Helicopters may choose to deploy either from the Arapaima or from any of the FARPs. (The FARPs are marked as completed mission objectives, so you can set waypoints on them for landing.)

Additionally, a tanker will be on station over Arapaima to support the fixed wing aircraft deployed at Belém AB. This concludes the briefing. Good hunting.
