Situation Report & Mission Statement: Horizon Islands 12:29 UTC // 3rd of august 2036 // Classified Partially declassified, only intended for 22 SAS regiment, B Squadron assigned to Task Force Sol The Horizon islands have been the battleground for the better part of a century now. Since the fierce battles of World War 2 throughout the icy tension of the cold war the strategic importance of the former French colony has made it an unstable region. It frequently passed from puppet master to puppet master. For the past 15 years the islands have been stabilizing under the partnership of local Russian “Born” Politician Igor Zelemnikov and business mogul/vice president Hue Chin. Their partnered government grew out of a peaceful protest a dictatorial confederation in 2021. The global community applauded the peaceful transition though MI6 intelligence believes that that both men were instrumental in causing events that ultimately led to the protests. Both Zelemnikov and Hue are tied to Horizon Island through their intelligence work during the periods that their respective governments exerted control over the islands. Zelemnikov’s ties with the current Russian government are flimsy but it is clear, based on current Chinese investments and coded messages sent to and from Tanoa, that Chin is still working with the Chinese Ministry of State Security to some extent. Furthermore, their party, Nouveaux Horizons, is currently the only political party. Zelemnikov was a KGB officer stationed on the island when it was under soviet influence. The public narrative is that he was born on the island to Russian parents and has lived on the islands ever since working a wide range of minor jobs before rising to fame organizing the first peace march in 2019. Zelemnikov is in fact from Vladivostok, spent time as Spetsnaz operative in Afghanistan during the exodus in 1989 before joining the KGB and getting stationed on Tanoa. With the fall of the USSR, he was disavowed and remained on the island as mercenary fighting a guerrilla war against the government until he re-appeared during the peace march. Zelemnikov is a charismatic individual, a cult leader in any other light. The man has a way with words. Hue Chin is a lot more honest about who he is. Heir to the Chin Digital Media empire, he took over his family’s business when his father Lee Chin passed in 2016 due to unknown health complication. Lee was an eccentric individual that like showing off his physical health. Lee Chin’s criticism of government crackdown on media & online entertainment therefore may have been the health complication the doctors were referring to. Prior to all this Hue Chin spent time in military academies as well as a 3-year gap where even the combined efforts of western intelligence can’t pinpoint where he was. Hue spent much of his time from 2010 to 2021 buying and selling land around the Horizon islands to Chinese companies and islanders to curry favour with them as well as doing the MSS’s bidding. The pair ushered in a golden decade for the islands as Chinese businesses heavily invested in the region. The island modernized rapidly but wealth quickly pooled around the wealthy business owners rather than the regular population. This led to a series of large-scale protests throughout the island chain in 2032 which to everyone’s surprise was beat back aggressively by government forces. These protests led to a downfall in standing with the global community. After the discovery of Uranium on the island of Tanoa Chinese influence and the militarization of the islands has increased dramatically. With the increase of animosity to the outside world in the last five years the global community has denounced Tanoa’s government and called for the stop of Uranium mining & enrichment, harsh sanctions on trade, and opening of borders to human rights watchdogs. Tanoa has answered with the promise to arm themselves accordingly to the threat that the global community is making themselves out to be. They have begun expelling American and European embassies and organisations. “We have licked the heels of despots for too long. Tanoa has been a truly free nation for 15 years and we shall not submit again!” -Igor Zelemnikov China, and by extent all members of the Canton Protocol Strategic Alliance Treaty are applauding The Horizon islands firm stance and have recently begun training and equipping the Horizon islands. Furthermore, MI6 has confirmed CSAT Is performing weapons testing on the islands. NATO [redacted] officer, [redacted], is even making a case that the recent earthquakes on the island are caused by a device first encountered by said officer on the Mediterranean islands of Altis & Stratis. “The only logical thing to do when the Western world threatens to play empire yet again. The Horizon Islands have our full support.” -CCP Spokesperson Aside from a minor CSAT presence and the HIMF a third faction currently operates around the Horizon Islands. The Syndikat, or just Syndikat, a loosely organised smugglers ring in the Indian & Pacific Ocean, and the west African coast. The key leader is a man that goes by the alias Warlock. We know very little about him but whenever we roll up a cell this name comes up as being the leader. Syndikat have begun appearing in the jungles of The Horizon Islands raiding villages and smuggling drugs, guns and more wherever they like. Though Syndikat is not our priority we may find ourselves fighting them during our operation. MI6 and the CIA have gathered enough intel to build a case against the two men in The Hague for instigating a popular uprising through inhumane acts, crimes against humanity and extortion. The firm stance of the Horizon Island government began around the same time this Intel came to our light. Insiders are concerned there are potential moles in both agencies. This document is therefore your eyes only. Each of you will be deployed into a hostile country for potentially 6+ months with only each-other to trust. Beyond the draftee of this document, The heads of MI6 and the commander of the HMS Proteus no one knows the full reason or plan of this operation. Mission objective Carrier Group Severn Is to be sent to the Horizon islands to deliver and extract brigade of Royal Marines and SAS teams. The Royal marines will be retrieving the embassy members from Georgetown. SAS teams will use the cover of the rescue op to infiltrate the island chain and begin a multi-phased operation wherein they will gather intelligence, Sabotage, raid & assassinate high value targets in preparation for a coalition invasion. Meanwhile, they will also keep track of and attempt to apprehend Igor Zelemnikov and Hue Chin. Carrier group Severn will retreat from the area leaving operatives with no immediate support. HMS Proteus will return occasionally for supplies. Operatives are to maintain total radio silence on comms outbound from the Islands to ensure concealment. Messages requests and intel will be relayed via HMS proteus. Only when the general mission is at risk may radio silence be broken. Phase 1: Establish foothold Operatives will infiltrate and secure several Forward operating bases within the Tanoan jungle. Targets have been chosen from a selection of abandoned military installations, Jungle temples & archaeology sites, and cave/rock formations. Once secured these positions should be fortified and stocked with supplies brought in via supply drop from carrier group Severn before it leaves the area. Phase 2: Gather intelligence Operatives will gather intel on troop strength, weapons development, High Value Individuals, and points of interest such as government buildings, checkpoints, Uranium mines, & Military installations. Multiple potential landing sites will need to be investigated for the coalition invasion. This will be done through observation, infiltration & hiding within the population. Phase 3: Sabotage Based on intel gathered operatives will begin assaulting point/people of interests and weapons development labs found during phase 2. [Redacted] will send in a team for support on any of the special weapons development lab. It’s important that any sabotage performed during this phase will not draw direct attention to us or our intentions. Any targets assaulted in this phase will in some way impact the Islands economy, morale, or CSAT’s weapons development. Phase 4: Bite and Hold With the invasion imminent Operatives will move and begin assaulting points of importance on the surrounding islands to ensure safe landings for coalition forces. Operatives will need to hold these points of interest until friendly forces come in to relieve and hold the positions instead. Operatives will then retreat to the main island and prepare to attack and hold points of importance there in anticipation for the invasion of the Main Island. After successful landings Operatives will work to find and capture Igor Zelemnikov and Hue Chin. Once Igor Zelemnikov and Hue Chin are in custody Coalition forces will move into the capital & establish a more moderate government. Zelemnikov & Chin will then be tried in The Hague. SITREP Mission Progress Notes Warlock is sending a certain M'Bala to investigate the losses of some of their hideouts, which we have now occupied as bivouacs. These Familiers as they are called are Warlock's personal soldiers. They are well trained and well equipped. We should watch out. Weapons Development Labs Cheng - Project Asp - Advanced Viper suit development Due to being uncovered twice by HIMF and CSAT and other global events we are now at war with CSAT. During Operation Thunderstruck a nuclear explosion occured at the Red Spring Uranium mine. The direct area around the site is lethal. At this time it is not yet clear what the damage of the fallout and radioation is. Completed/resolved Listening Post Leicester is now running and gathering data from secure channels. SAS operatives has been rescued. All soldiers are accounted for. ION elements have been successfully exfiltrated. Igor Zelemnikov and Heu Chin have been taken into custody. They will now await their trail in the hague for warcrimes they've commited prior to and during their reign of the Horizon Islands. Evidence provided will further support our decision to invade the Island Chain in front of the global community. Additionally, their capture means that the Horizon Island government is headless. We intend to make use of the ensuing chaos to offer a reasonable surrender to whoever fills the void. Our stolen Polaris Dagor has been secured and safely stored back at base. Weapons Development Labs Cheng - Project Asp - Advanced Viper suit development Liu - Project East wind - Secured and transferred to CTRG Zhang - Project Atrox - Weaponized Virus development - Dismantled - CTRG retrieved a sample and counter agent. Xhaio - Project Isotope - Weaponization of Radon - Dismantled Wang - Project Black Gauntlet - Likely the Weapons lab in the Uranium mine. We managed to steal a truck full of CSAT equipment. Included were guns, helmets and uniforms. We'll keep it stored for when we need to impersonate CSAT. Landing sites have been evaluated and marked. Some positions are mined but not impossible to deal with A number of military facilities are located on the western islands. Potential targets for sabotage/airstrikes An SAS team has made the mistake of driving on a main road through a major settlement, they collided with a HIMF APC which called in CSAT reinforcements. We have lost contact with the element. We can only assume that CSAT knows we are now on the island. All we can hope is that none of the operatives survived to be interrogated. It is likely HIMF & CSAT will be on full alert when our next operation rolls around. Bivouac Plymouth turned out to be a Viper training camp testing new Viper equipment called Reflectors. The assault triggered a very strong response from CSAT. It is likely whatever we found was very important to CSAT there Global consequences of the campaign The events on the Horizon Islands have lead to a third world war. While the world is mostly divided between east and west the division is much further based on the current and historic relationships between the two main parties; CSAT and NATO. A number of countries remain neutral. Most notably Russia and Argentina which both find themselves between both sides but have a strong enough military force to deter a possible invasion. The UN Security Council as assigned Argentina the duty of UN observer in the coming conflict. Russia meanwhile seems to be playing its own game amidst the chaos. Igor Zelemnikov and Heu Chin have been taken into custody and are being tried in The Hague. A number of assassination attempts have been made during the trail but for now both are very much alive. So far the trail has revealed evidence for the crimes against humanity committed by the pair along with the experiments CSAT has been doing on the island. Public opinion of our invasion of the islands and our response to CSAT's declaration has therefore swung in our favour. The rescue of ION operatives has made its rounds in the media back home. Aside from A PR boost for the military it's also meant Many PMC's are offering their services at reduced rates to our governments as covert soldiers. Intelligence agencies are currently vetting these groups and establishing a spy network of PMC's. The Red Spring nuclear incident has been devastating to the Horizon Island region. While the blast itself was minor, enough radioactive material was distributed over the main island to severely impact the agriculture there. Blue Pearl Industrial harbour and the villages around the mine will likely not be usable for the foreseeable future meaning a significant effect on the Island Chain's economic strength. A whole new deep sea port will have to be build. While we managed to destroy most weapon development labs we failed to find further intel on project Asp. it is likely this development will proceed and we may encounter more powerful Viper units during future campaigns. Nonetheless we have crippled CSAT's military tech strength and have developed necessary countermeasures to the developments we found on the island chain. Where CSAT may have had a leap in technology a year ago we have levelled the playing field CSAT is in the possession of an orbital laser capable of storing solar power and transferring it into a high intensity energy beam. While we have specialists working on figuring out the exact details of the device and ways of taking it down we will have to be cautious when fighting in High intensity areas. So far we know it can only be on one location at a time and takes time to get into position. It heavily relies on earth's rotation to get anywhere fast. Any Further questions in regards to the current situations may be directed at the officer currently investigating the situation by responding in the thread below.

Despite the failure to rescue private Rollins, or ability to clear a number of mines inside the town itself, we succeeded in clearing the heavy FIA presence inside Abdera. Considering the intensity of the fighting it is logical for the mines not to have been cleared. Along with a number of wrecks some clean-up will be required. While back at base IDAP has mapped the approximate location of mines and explosives around Abdera. They have also reported FIA presence in the hills to the east observing their activity. We are headed back to Abdera to provide help to IDAP in the form of a demining vehicle while the majority of our infantry element heads into the hills to clear out any FIA presence there so that they will not attempt to push back into Abdera. Odds are there still are mine & UXO fields that have not been spotted yet. german teams will need to look out for these and call them in towards IDAP.

The Russian FSS Have been hard at work to destabilize the Altian islands with the express intention of drawing CSAT out of Stratis where an Iranian force is training AAF soldiers. Intel suggests however that CSAT is doing more than training but also uses the island as an experimental weapons development centre (EWDC). As NATO activity has thrown a wrench in the destabilisation of the island the FSS are now willing to work together with NATO to defeat the common enemy that is CSAT by staging a surprise assault on the island. Our mission will be to find the EWDC, find out what they are developing, gather evidence and then destroy it. First we must destroy two SAM sites on the eastern shore to ensure CAS elements can perform their duties. As stealth will only get us so far with the heavy presence of CSAT & AAF on the island we will be receiving a number of CAS elements to ensure mission success. We will be attacking the island at a time that most posts will be minimally occupied due to a religious holiday. Once CSAT and the AAF are aware of our position though we will have a limited window to perform our mission and get out. Given enough time they will mobilize and overwhelm our position regardless of the fire support we can offer. Due to the geopolitical situation we find ourselves in it is unlikely that this will turn into a international incident. CSAT will have reason to keep this facility a secret and them making a big deal out of this would mean that secret would come out as well.

Would it be possible to assign it to roles? Those are static after all. you will always be a uav operator or pilot for as long as you're in the slot

You know how freudian slips work? This was a profile picture slip.

I think it's a great idea to reduce the weaponsway. as people mentioned already arguing for and against, it will give players power/more ability to fight. This might make it easier yeah, but that's not inherently a bad thing. Giving a player power to do things will incentivise them to do something more. In this case it would be moving around and getting close. Getting close and personal is not a surefire way of winning the fight but it will make the fight more exciting. I personally find ARMA a lot more interesting when I am in the thick of it compared to when I sit on a hill blasting people. A reduced weapon sway will insentivice me then to move more so that I can do those exciting things. As midnight mentions this won't have as much of an effect to the overencumbered amongst us so it will be unlikely to have an impact on those that play that playstyle, and if it does it would be minimal.

Let's goooo!

Everytime I treated you, you suffered from a head injury. I don't think the damage is the problem as much as the unfortunate accuracy you experienced today was.

A regular review if set rules is excellent in any case. The wonder of the internet is that it is everchanging and something new will always pop up. Times change and events arise, like this one, that will require us to review the rules we have set in place. A clarification in regards to what constitutes recruitment, and how Admin reports are handled are some straight forward points. I think some guidelines on how to address and convey these types of reports publicly should also be considered. I'm very glad this post was here to air our grievances, listen to each other and now move forward from it. Props to everyone for their contribution. Your efforts are greatly appreciated! (by me, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.)

I understand that you see the discord rich presence differently, but the way you're writing your messages gives me the idea you're taking the message rather personally and are getting agitated. As mentioned we're trying to keep the discussion civil and calm and emotions tend to get in the way of that. Let's try to remain objective so that we can get to a solution. We all have the best interest in mind and I value your opinion greatly.

I think the filing of the report was a perfectly reasonable thing to do and I would say you did the right thing. I doubt most people are mad about the report being filed but instead bothered by the way the report was ultimately handled and discussed.

I'm saddened at the loss of staff but most of all of the breakdown in communication. There has been a clear lack of it from many of us. In my line of work there is a saying that assumptions kill as without being certain of a situation you can't make a decision that's right for what you face. Though I can't say for certain I get the feeling that a lot of things have been based on emotion and assumptions. This in itself is based on assumptions and partial information, and as mentioned, those kill. I hope you won't filify me for that but with it hope to create some understanding and perspective from my end. I am glad CS ultimately took the time to evaluate everything ensuring there would be as little room to make assumptions. Could this have gone faster, yes. But it's fair to say that Core Staff, as well as regular Staff are not full-time employees. We all put in our effort on a basis of free will, Which means we may not always have the time do something in an adequate time frame. Furthermore we are all free to act as we please in response to things. By this I mean that resigning as Staff is a decision I can respect albeit I am saddened by the decision. Each community provides something else and I love Ahoy for what it offers. I see myself sitting in channels with others playing games that aren't ARMA. Even sitting in a channel with others playing a game is grand. I can't see myself doing that with any of the other groups I am a part of. The social interaction and the warmness of everyone is a reason I brought Ares along so she could experience that too. I really hope that this is not tarnished after this event. I consider all of you friends even if I don't talk to you equally often. and hope to see you regularly on the AW Teamspeak. In that sense I would like to call for a calm discussion much like Xwatt just did. Emotions can boil over and we can't always be delicate with what we say. Though as the community we are I am certain we can let any emotional load slide and take what we read critically and respectfully. We are all here to make AhoyWorld better. We each have different ideas of how to do that and by working together, compromising and talking it out we can achieve this. No one is infallible and we should be able to question things. So let's do that evenly and as unbiased as we are capable of while looking for a place to settle in the middle we can all agree on. In this thread so far we all agree on a number of things, even if the way we say it obscures that. Props to Xwatt for making the post so we can talk it out!

This all sounds very good!

It seemed like terrain had an impact on it as in an open space surrounded by trees(30-40 Meters every direction) only people within the open space were able to hear me but anyone beyond the treeline wasn't. Despite being within 152 and LR range. This even occurred on a open field with no trees or buildings for 100 or more meters.
