Another sunny morning on the sleepy island of Culebra, just off the coast of Puerto Rico. Giant tortoises basked on white-sand beaches, ignoring the fat foreign tourist who attempted to sit on their backs as his wife giggled inanely.
In the palm groves beyone the beach, dark-clothed men lay waiting. They charged out onto the pearly-white sand, their black boots stark against the grains. The tourist and his stick-insect wife tried to run, but a rifle butt to the small of his back made the man fall. One of the soldiers grabbed his wife by the throat, her sunglasses falling away to reveal terrified eyes. He pushed his thumb hard into her larynx, and she was unable to scream.
The tortoise watched with disinterest. A second soldier sat on it's back, much to the amusement of his comrades, and to the irritation of the tortoise.

The 4,959 men of the 12th Fallschirmjäger Legion had parachuted onto Culebra the night before, quickly occupying a few villages for billets. After a day spent scouting and surveying the area, they took Dewey, the largest town on the island. There was no resistance from the island's hundred-man garrison once they realised the scale of the attack, and the stage was set for the invasion of Vieques and Peurto Rico...
OOC: Numbers:
12th FJ Legion, total 4,959 men, no armoured units. Troops supplied by airdrop only.
