OOC: You may back which faction you want, the rightful goverment, or the corrupt rebels!)

IC:

Kim Sakarov, known as (Eagle) among his follower's, creapt up to the Head of the Calizorinstani Navy, Admiral Jack Arnold's house, with a FN FAL in his hand, he climbed up the wall, and kicked in the the window, and dropped the FAL, unsheathed his K-Bar, and confronted the Admiral with a K-Bar knife and snarled "You've lead the people into a dangerous thing, we refuse to let you live, with you backing the UFAN!" He leapt at Adm.Arnold, who angeled, and moved away enough to draw his Colt 1911, and he raised it at Kim, and fired twice, sending bullet's into his heart, stopping Kim, who fell onto the ground. Admiral Arnold examined the dead body of Kim, a paper fell from his pocket, and Jack examined the paper which said "Black Eagle's, the orginazation for change in Calizorinstan, we must destory the goverment for leading us into this folly of allying with the UFAN and soon COMECON." He sighed and went to bed, to report this troubling news to the Emperor the next day.

Admiral Arnold, just barely got to work that morning, for appearently, he heard the standard house MG42's fire up, and he just barely dodged their crossfire in his Volvo S60 R. He walked up into the Emperor's office and said "What the heck is going on, I was nearly killed going into work, by machine gun and rifle volley's?" The Emperor looked sad and grim "My son, is leading a revolt against me, I've been trying to find him to capture him, but haven't found him. The group is called "Black Eagle's", and is trying to assasinate me, so he can get a clear title, which is why, I have this little matter. He brought up a piece of legislation, and he said "In short this say's, if the Emperor's son cannot get to the throne, or if by doing so he endangers this country, then the highest ranking military officer may assume the throne." Adm.Arnold rubbed his chin and said "I was nearly killed by Kim Sakarov last night, but I got to my pistol first, and I won." The Emperor's eyes bulged and said "You've killed the second in command of the Black Eagle's, why you've crippled the group without knowing it, I wonder why they sent him..."

After a moment's pause, he said "I am hearing of more attack's by that group, so I'll send a message for help to the international community, before I get deposed." He started typing out a letter, and when it was finished it read:

To:All Nations
From:The Emperor of Calizorinstan

We're under attack by a group known as the "Black Eagle's", who are calling for the removal of our rightful goverment, they are hard line fascists, and they are a danger to us, true, but if they get outside of Calizorinstan and support, they'll be a threat to everyone who isn't on their side. I hope you'll listen to this message, and decide to help us, we'll be ever so grateful.

And then the Emperor sent it out to all the nations, crossed his fingers, hoping for a response.

Having just received word of antisatellite combat having begun for Wagdog's forces against unknown interlopers in Vetaka's civil war, General Secretary Carolinus Horridus was naturally not pleased to learn about yet another ally suffering political convulsions. What is it about our alliances that brings out the fascists in droves, eh? Scratch that, I know: the very thought of powerful nations putting their support behind two less powerful ones in pursuit of human rights and political diversity; the two things most fascists can't stand. That thought, he composed this reply...

To His Imperial Majesty Jack Slovic of Calizorinstan,

I am willing to help as I can, but I need more information since our forces are heavily committed to the Vetakan situation and may soon be overstretched. What is the estimated Black Eagles' strength; qualitatively, in terms of engagement capabilities as well as armament, and quantitatively of course. Our air power would most likely be of immediate use, and we shall commit it as needed; just state what is requested and it shall arrive forthwith as able.

Addressed to His Imperial Majesty Jack Slovic:

We hear your plight, and will immediately assist you.

We require details on the equipment the "Black Eagles" use, and approximate numbers. We also request the role we would be expected to play, for example: crowd suppression, rebuilding work, observation and reconnaisance, or front-line action against the terrorists.

Emperor Jack Slovic read both nation's responses and sent a email out:

The equipment they use is, are illegaly obtained FN FAL's, and some M60 HMGs, and they consist of 150-200 members, although as I understand it, they're recruiting about 100-150 more. Your mission, will be front-line terrorist action, we are handling the crowd control, since our troop's arent back from Hataria. We thank you for your assistance in this matter

To:Wagdog
From Jack Slovic, Emperor of Calizorinstan

We will glady give you our assesment's of the Black Eagles,
they use FN FAL's, that they somehow stole from the goverment, they are a very tough foe, for they are very good with gun's, they are former Calizorinstani Communist Members, and some of them are former Calizorinstani Marines, and they've also stolen some M4A3 Sherman Tank's.
We believe that your air support will help vastly, the Black Eagle's after their newest recruitment drive, number 300-450, and recruiting more, and that is our assesment of them,and the situation, we thank you for helping us.

Very well. Whilst we are not best pleased at being given front-line duties, we will do so with honour.

We request the use of a large, preferably military, airfield, as we shall be sending a multitude of aircraft your way.

These aircraft will be mainly transports, carrying our MBT, Diamondback IFVs, and our infantry.

Await numbers of troops, although it can be safely said that it will be a fairly small deployment.

We will let you use March Air Force Base, and Miramar for your landing's of your troop's, we understand you aren't eager for front line duites, but our army will help you in any way it can without overstreching itself, we will await your troop's and tanks.

Reading the email, Horridus grew concerned. 300-450? We're dealing with true irregulars and guerrillas here, although that's obvious judging by the attack information the Emperor revealed. Naturally, the proper suspicion was now upon what sort of infiltration network these Black Eagles had. So, he composed his reply thusly...
From: General Secretary Horridus, Revolutionary Command Council, USSW
To: Emperor Slovic, Calizorinstan

Although on the appearances I could annihilate these rogues with a single strike, nonetheless I'm not so complacent or stupid as to presume so. I commend your decision to concentrate on civil control first, even if forced by necessity as it is, since that is crucial here. I suspect that the Black Eagles' infiltrator network far outnumbers their force of combatant cells, since I myself was a guerrilla fighter once and used the exact same tactics as they: use the attack cells to keep the government off-balance, while using the agitator cells to actually subvert territory into my effective control; even if my forces couldn't operate there for long and the local government flag still flew.

So long as you can keep the people safe, and I recommend possibly evacuating the villages near the strike zone you request so as to prevent me from alienating your own people through overkill, I can strike effectively once you provide me the fascists' operating area and also those of any friendly forces to avoid. Our strategic bombers are being prepped now awaiting your target orders, and if possible we wouldn't mind using a base to house a small Composite Group if you'd allow it.

As per the pending strikes in Calizorinstan against Black Eagle rebel positions, five squadrons of Tu-160M Blackjack-B strategic bombers were being readied for their mission. As usual, this would be a standoff cruise-missile strike; this time with an even mixture of Kh-555SD submunition and Kh-555Sh penetrator warhead versions, to attack either open concentrations of rebels or buried strongholds. The crews were loading as quickly as possible, so that action could commence as soon as Calizorinstani word came down.

At the nearby space center on the island, five each of targeting, comms and weapons OBSATs were also being maneuvered into orbit over Calizroinstan, to provide both GPS and laser designation for the impending strikes. For now, attacks on urban targets were ruled out for fear of alienating the Calizorinstani civil populace into the fascists' hands; although if absolutely needed, they could be mounted once sufficient information for more precise strikes was available and the cities had been sufficiently evacuated by Imperial Calizorinstani forces. Hence, the Kh-555SE unitary-blast warhead missile wouldn't be used in this round of strikes. Hopefully, in fact, it wouldn't need using at all of course; but war had a habit of not obliging one so well all the same...

To Emperor Jack Slovak

The relations between your Empire and our Kingdom have ever been warm and we do not sit back in light of an emergency in a nation with such close ties to ours. I would also be untruthful if I were not to say that we have an interest in keeping the production of our much needed Ares III Assault Rifles going. As such, we are willing to aid you if so needed. We have a strong information technology sector and as such are highly advanced in Information Warfare, we can offer you our services in tracking down these desenters. Additionally, we can dispatch elements of our special services unit, "The Golden Lions" within 24 hours notice to help stablilize your nation, but a more significant presence would take additional time.
Such matters as these require a scalpel, not a sledge hammer. We urge caution and deliberation rather than large scale immediate assault.

A missive sent from the Embassy directly to the hands Emperor Jack Slovik or Admiral Jack Arnold by Kevin Smith, Inteligence agent stationed at the Embassy.

We are preparing to send elements of the Golden Lions into the operational zone as you read this. They will be airlifted to the area and dropped within 10 kilometers of the strike zone. We are sending 4 teams, or 24 men total for the operation. We assure you that these men are some of the highest quality proffesionals and will get the job done effieciently. We have given the attack a 32 hour window from insertion to buy the soldiers time to gain intel and plot an assault. The Op. will be coordinated from the embassy headquarters in Calizorinstan.

We require from you:
A certified passcode for entry into Calizorinstan airspace.
Permission to set a rendevous point for extraction of my men, unless you have further designs for them or wish them to secure the area.
Confirmation that you are clear on the details and goals of our operation and accept them.

After a frantic reloading to allow for Kh-555SE missiles plus Kh-15P antiradar missiles as well, the decision from on high being that a more diverse load would help the bombers prepare for whatever targets the Calizorinstani designated or unknown air defense capabilities the Black Eagles may have seized by now; the 50 Blackjacks of 6th Bomb Wing, Sixth Army Air Force roared from the island's runway and took off after a waiting picket patrol of MiG-39/1.44 Flatpacks, A-50M Mainstay AWACS planes and Il-78M Midas tankers. There they would hold until the Air Tasking Order with their specific target set was received. After that point, the Black Eagles would soon learn just what they were up against as the various cruise missiles struck home upon their bases in the evacuated towns...

John Macked realized this might be the last operation he commanded before retiring, but that didn't stop him, he beckoned the company to infiltrate the building. When they got to the gate, the guard barked "Who's there?" John raised his specialized CAR-15 SOPMOD carbine, and fired at the guard, the guard dropped to the ground, and they ran into the facilty, which was almost quite empty of life. He motioned them into a empty room and saw a quite important paper, he scooped it up, and scanned the paper, and sent it to the Emperor of Calizorinstan, and General Secretary Horridus, and wrote a note, "This is their planned terror attack's, one on our capital, and one on a quiet town called Descanso, say's they will drive in a little BMW with bomb's in the truck and detonate it remotely from here, same thing with our captial, except it's 4 semi trucks, 18 wheeler's, we've got a strike data, it's a medium sized white villa, we're getting the heck out of here over."

He and his men ran off, where they expected their MH-60 to pick them up, but instead 10 Black Eagle's emerged from the tree, one with an RPG and said "Your helicopter's down, the pilot crashed land it, and he's a prisoner." John muttered a quick message saying to Emperor Jack Slovic and General Secretary Horridus, "Redenvous messed up, our helicopter crash, crew prisoner, and we're in a firefight." He opened fire on the man with the RPG,and soon it became a firefight for their lives.

From: Jack Phoenixclaw
To: Calizornistani Government

The situation with the rebels within your nationis only getting worse, and as a fellow member of the Corporate Alliance, we here at Griffincrest feel the need to step in and bring about an end to the conflict. To do this, we are going to re arm your military as well as provide advisors to assist in your operations and train your forces in how to use Griffincrest arms. At sea, your current cruisers will be replaced with our Neptune and destroyers replaced with our Charon. On land, we will replace you current light tank with our Mars and your current APC with our Mercury. We will allow you to remain with your current assault rifle, although we suggest you do switch to the G36E. We also would like to arm you with the 9mm Berreta as you standard handgun, and the Otagian made M36 as the standard machine gun. In return, we wish for only one billion dollars and an air base.

To:Jack Phoenixclaw
From:Emperor of Calizorinstan

We've wired you 1 billion dollar's, and we will permit you to build an airbase inside of Calizorinstan, we will switch to the G36E, and the Beretta 9mm, we thank you for your assistance.

As soon as the new airbase was permitted, the air bridge began. Hundreds of planes were now constantly moving across the oceans, chock full of men and equipment to provide assistance to the struggling CA member.

About three dozen AV-18 VTOL gunships were to be stationed at the new base, as well as several Gnats and F-4's. These would provide support for any movements by the CA forces. A column of Mercury APC's would soon depart from the new base and begin their way towards the nearest major scene of fighting. Once therem they would show the rebels what it means to rise up against the Corporate Alliance.

Adivsors were also beginning to enter Calizornistani bases and equip the troops. The ratio of Griffincrest advisors to Calizornistani soldiers was going to be approximatly 1:120, so the men would have their hands full. Nonetheless, they would get the job done.

Crates loaded with guns of all kinds were also being offloaded from flatbeds off onto the Calizornistani bases, and the advisors immediately started showing the men the proper ways to load and clean them. With a little luck, they would whip these men into a new force.

The Blackhelm F-4's were complemented by Calizorinstani RF-4C's, and F-4F's at March Air Force Base, where the RF-4's were sent on recon flight's, the Calizorinstani men trained on weapon's they were given by Blackhelm advisor's, and other equipment.

1st Lt. James Swanson was the Op. Head on this mission. He reviewed the data on the teams he was commanding on his portable computer. An amazing piece of technology with basic computational power in a package no larger than a carton of ciggaretes in area. The transport had just entered Imperial Airspace a few minutes ago but they were near the target zone.
"This should be a simple sweep and clear ladies and gentlemen! HQ has given us 32 hours to locate, scout, and eradicate the enemy emplacement. We will be dropping from 12,000 feet into the target zone in Redwood where we will regroup and move ten klicks overland to the target. Stay professional kids, and remember who we are!"
"Golden Lions one and all sir!"

03:00 hours Local Time
The last of the men had called in via the private satelite comms; only one man had been injured dropping into the forest but was able to still fight. Lt. Carl Anderson, team leader of Fire Team Bravo had suffered a lsight sprain when he cut his lines after being caught in a tree.
"We move out at first light, rest up boys and girls."

13:00 hours Local Time
It was too light for scouting missions yet, the teams had reached the rally points with no incidents to date. Swanson, or as the men called him "Swan" reviewed the satelite data provided and made preliminary plans. "I want charges placed at these locations; on my word we detonate them simlutaneously. This will catch the enemy off guard and kill many of them before combat is even engaged. Charlie Team will attack from the north, Delta from the east, Bravo Team is West, and Alpha is attacking from the south with me. Hold your positions until I gove word. Charlie team..."
"Yes sir?"
"You will be a diversionary force to mass the enemy in the north before the rest of the teams attack. We are hitting them with everything at our disposal from all four points of the compass, the operation calls for nothing less than complete destruction of the enemy! Only take prisoners if it seems necesary. Got it?"
"Sir!"

20:00 hours Local Time
Things were going well. The operation was so far a sweeping success; but Swan had learned in the civil war that the best operation can go to shit. According to the scouting reports by the Squad Snipers the encampent had about 115 occupants; about 15 trainers and 100 trainees. Security was rather light and only a handful of sentries were posted. Demolitions experts had manage to rig about half of the target structures with simtex explosives but none of the 5 sentry towers were rigged. They might provide a problem...
Suddenly a report rang out into the night. "Sounded like an FNHAL sir..." Deke, the weapons specialist reported.
A second shot rang out, and then a thir, followed by a burst. "We've been compromised!" Delta leader shouted into the commset, "Man down! Returning fire!"
The reports of the Ares Elite Carbine was inaudable save for at close range because of the internal supressors. "Blow the loads!" Swan shouted into the comm, "Blow 'em now!"
The end of the FNHAL reports signaled the demise of the first shooter but soon several more would be fireing. Swan felt more than heard the 4 explosions that rocked the ecampment and lit up the area and caused sureal flowing shadows. "Lay down supressing fire on those towers, morters begin bombartment! All squads, move out! Attack, attack, attack!"
Swan jumped up and charged into the open with two others right behind him, he swung his Achilles shotgun ahead of him and fired a shell at two men who rushed around the corner in confusion; hitting one squarely, the other stumbled back as the remaining flechette pellets hit him in the midsection but not lethally, the second shot was off before he could react. An exlopsion nearby as a mortar round from the north end of camp struck a truck and anihilated it caused Swans ears to ring loudly; his grin would have scared a tiger. Swan rushed around the corner he had seen the two men go and got caught by a surprise stock in the jaw. He dropped his shotgun but desperatly stayed up, raching for his .357 pistol, but the attacker was fast and hit him a solid blow in the midsection.
Swan's world melted as he feebly held up the pistol and pulled the trigger... *click*, the safety was still on....

20:32 hours Local Time
Swan woke to the stench of burnt flesh and phospher. The explosives experts must have fired some incindiary rounds. He treid to sit up.
"Sir... don't move! You got gutsot pretty badly."
Too late... the spasm of pain that passed through his body threateend to make him double up, but that would have hurt even more, 1st Lt. Swan lay down.
"Casualty report soldier?" It was Jello, one of the Corpsmen.
"Including you we have 3 wounded, none so bad as you however. You need to relax."
"Operation status?" talking hurt but he had to make sure all was clear, "We counted 97 enemy dead sir. We executed the worst of the wounded and have 5 prisoners, 3 of them are mildly hurt but can be turned over to Calizorinstan for interogation." Jello replied.
"That leaves 13 unacounted for."
"Some of them made a break for the woods, Charlie team is sweeping the area for them now. Lt. Anderson took over while you were out."
"I want him to brief me..."
"You need to stop talking and relax sir, if you keep expending energy you might not make it."
"Nonsense! Patch me up and I'll go see Anderson myself!" Swan growled but then choked and burbled.
"I was trying to tell you sir... you took a round through the stomach, and one hit your diaphram, its still lodged in there. Just relax now." Jello admisnistred some kind of sedative and Swan felt himself falling back into a deep sleep.

21:03 Local Time
"Hows the commander Jello?" Anderson asked as the corpsman entered the tent, "Not good sir. He's not going to make it before any evac from home can get to him."
"I'll send a message to the local boys that we have a man in critical condition; seems the least they can do for us after the job we did here. You sspeak Calizorinstani right? Take a look at this, what do you think?"

At 21:15 Calizorinstan recieves a message from Lt. Anderson stating the following.

Op successful, 97 enemy dead, 5 prisoners, 13 unacounted for. *stop*
We have a man critical, need assistance ASAP. *stop*
Something here you should see. *stop*

OOC: Sorry for the delay; work and then tiredness made this a delayed strike, which I think I can RP out actually.
Palace of the Revolution; Tailville DR, Wagdog, hours earlier...
Horridus appreciated this sort of intelligence well; in fact, the OBSAT network technically made this exact sort of connection to the battlefield possible. Which is why getting in this close is dangerous. He reminded himself. Micromanagement was a bad trait, one he'd disciplined himself against even more than most since he knew he was prone to such if left unchecked. Hence, the way he issued these orders.

Tapping his intercom key at the desk, he ordered, "Mario, the operation is go. You have the data?"

The vampire Defense Secretary said, "Yes Comrade. The bombers are holding at the refuelling point along with the fighters, and will separate for the attack run once the final orders are sent." In other words, the gun was cocked and locked already.

"Very well. Clearance is given, you know what to do." Horridus then confidently reminded himself, So do they, reflecting on how well-trained Wagdog's air force was compared to the usual Socialist air arm; by virtue of dedication to training and maintenance of a sufficient logistical base to make operations twice as intense as under standard Soviet peacetime doctrine (and in accordance with NATO doctrine, ironically) possible.

"Roger Comrade. Orders are being sent, and the attack begins momentarily." After that, the events began...

International Airspace 2500km from Calizorinstan, hours later...
Although the 50 Tu-160M Blackjack-B strategic bombers would overfly friendly airspace in Calizorinstan, not least for BDA work after the missiles hit, the actual strike was only seconds away. Lt.Col. Daniel Rendish was ready for only the third important strike run of his life, the others having been during the long-past Circum-Zansk War. "OBSATCOM on; targets are lased and GPS coordinates tracked," although hitting moving targets like these with strategic cruise missiles was indeed overkill, one might forget that overkill tends to win wars all the same. "Confirmed, we are armstrong. Bay doors open... PICKLE! PICKLE! PICKLE!" The moment of truth had arrived, in true bomber pilot fashion as the missiles' firing was announced as if in the days of the old Norden Bombsight.

At that, six each of Kh-555SE blast and Kh-555Sh penetrator variants of the Kent-C cruise missile family dropped from the 50 Blackjacks, as well as three Kh-555SD submunition-warhead missiles as well. Targets were many and varied: Black Eagle training facilities in Santa Ana and their HQ villa in Julian were to be essentially flattened by at least 375 missiles each, each containing a mix of the three variants for maximum lethality on strike impact. So as not to risk a bloody gaffe and create civil problems for their ally, Wagdog issued the following request to Emperor Slovic courtesy of the General Secretary...
From: Carolinus Horridus; General Secretary, USSW
To: HIM Jack Slovic; Emperor, Calizorinstan

Phase One of the strike has been launched, targeting Black Eagle training facilities in evacuated Santa Ana as well as their HQ villa in Julian. 150 blast, 150 penetrator and 75 submunition cruise missiles are inbound on each target area; survival odds for the Black Eagles therein are estimated as minimal.

However, before Phase Two can target the mobile cells, we require you to evacuate and close the roads your intel indicates the terrorists will travel on. This will make our second strike much more effective and minimize odds of civilian deaths. As-is, our bombers are still inbound at just below Mach to conduct Bomb Damage Assessment and render the second strike upon your confirmation of target area closure and evacuation.

So long as those on the ground are up to snuff, which Macked and his men in Charlie Company have been rest assured, the Black eagles shouldn't be a problem for too much longer. We request a passcode for our bombers to enter your airspace soon, and advise you to launch counterattacks agianst Santa Ana and Julian to exploit our strikes soon enough for maximum psychological effect upon any surviving terrorists; objective being at your discretion, but advised as priority to restoring civil control just as in the defensive battles so far.

We have a little situation that's developing in the secondary HQ 15 miles south of the main HQ in Julian. Appearently, the MH-60 sent to extract them crash landed, and the crew taken prisoner by the Black Eagle's somewhere unknown to us, and Macked and Charlie Company are in a firefight, so we're sending in a MV-22 to pick Macked and Charlie Company up and 2 AH-1Z Cobra's to finish off the Black Eagle's attacking Charlie Company, so we wished to your force's know there was a rescue operation going on in the area.

We stand so advised. Your forces should have some four hours to complete this mission before the missiles hit the strike area, as they were fired from 2500km range and can be safely slowed to 600km/hr to buy you the maximum amount of time. They shall maintain that speed until such time as your men are clear; after which, they can accelerate to 900km/hr for a faster strike if such is warranted.

However, haste is advised since although we could destroy the missiles remotely it would mean a massive wasted strike on our part. Do notify us if this becomes required, and it shall be done promptly to spare your fine men. They're what will win this war overall, so although obviously I'd prefer the strike to complete once they've evacuated I have no qualms about aborting it for their sake.

"J1, this is Evac 1, we'll give you some cover with the Cobras over."
John looked up, and saw the MV-22 hovering and said to his men "COme on men, let's get out of here, in 4 hour's this place will be nothing, let's the heck out of here." They climbed aboard the MV-22, and John wrote a note to the emperor, as the MV-22 turned and flew off "Succesfully evacuated, mission total success over, we've got the pilot of the down chopper and his co-pilot."

SIC:

From:HIM Jack Slovic, Emperor of Calizorinstan

The rescue operation was a success, and we've got Charlie Company all safe, and the missing pilot and co-pilot of the down MH-60, safe in the MV-22, headed back to our capital. They've left the area.

By the time the MV-22 arrived all 24 Golden Lions were present and accounted for. There had been a short skirmish with the remaining fleeing forces, no known casualties to either side. The thick Redwood forests made target aquisition difficult. Upon hearing the sound of helicopter rotors the collected soldiers popped flares to get the crews attention and waited in the cover of a partially destroyed building. Even before the helicopter crew had landed 1st Lt. Swan was being carried via a litter toward the landing zone. The other two injured men made thier own way to the evac with some help.
Lt. Anderson, though limping from his sprained ankle flashed the pilot the thumbs up.
"Embassy has informed me to tell you that the wounded will be picked up as soon as is possible... we have 5 prisoners here as well, and some documents. Are you supposed to be recieving this cargo also?"
It was strange to refer to people as 'cargo' but that was how he was trying tot hink of them, the five prisoners, 4 men and a woman were all tied together with some rope they found in the wreckage and where kneeling in an open area with two gaurds from his team flanking them, weapons on full auto.

General Sakarov emerged and said "We just had a succesful raid of our own on the Black Eagle's secondary headquarter's, although the evac MH-60 was shot down, but we rescued the crew, and Charlie Company. We'll take the prisoner's in the MH-60, and the crtical man will go in the MV-22, I'll take the docs." He accepted the document's from Lt.Anderson, and helped everyone aboard, and then started preperation's for take off in the MV-22 to the nearest hospital.

OOC: Uh, Cal... what about evacuating the civilians from those road stretches I'll be targeting? My missiles are inbound on the HQ now (so you'll need to handle the Black Eagles' damage) and it would help to know about my other targets, since I'm trying for minimal delays here once I fire those missiles off. Thanks.

OOC: Sorry Wag, I've been gone all day I'm really tired right know,I'm doing a little blurb on the evac now.

Civilian's were evac'd from the road's, and the road's were closed, and a message to the USSW was sent that sent that said:

The main HQ, and their main airbase are 20 mile's apart, the main area of their HQ's is the Town of Descanso, we've already closed road's in preperation for your missile strike's.

General Secretary Horridus smiled and exhaled after reading the CIA cable. Finally. Now we can intercept the terrorists and get our bombers out of there for the next round of strikes, this time closer ones in support of Calizorinstani Army offensives; should more support be needed of course, considering the bashing we're about to give the Black Eagles already. He typed out the following cable for the State Department and its subordinate State Security Agency to dispatch in reply.

Re: Inbound CALCM strikes.

Notice confirmed. Missiles are accelerating now and should reach the initial targets momentarily. Phase Two strikes to be launched from closer range before bombers will return to base for reloads pending more missions at your request.

Calizorinstani Airspace
At last, things were starting to come together again. Lt.Col. Rendish had been wondering what was taking so long with the authorization, but now each bomber loosed the remaining three cruise missiles in their belly before dashing in at just above Mach to get ready for damage-assessment runs. They'd been keeping up with their earlier missiles, so simultaneity would be preserved in the strike.

As the moments passed, the Kh-555 cruise missiles in their various subtypes hugging the Calizorinstani countryside at first 600 and then 900 kilometers per hour while winding their way to the targets, they continuously updated their courses based upon both radar mapping of the terrain and GPS correcctions provided by the OBSAT network and its datalinks. Soon, 375 cruise missiles each slammed into the Santa Ana training camps and the Black Eagles' secondary headquarters in Julian; a mix of 150 Kh-555SE blast-warhead missiles to flatten conventional structures, 150 Kh-555Sh penetrator-warhead missiles to smash into any bunkers or basements and kill any seeking refuge below, and lastly 75 Kh-555SD submunition-warhead missiles to kill any surviving personnel or vehicles out in the open with a hail of AP or AT bomblets. In short, it wasn't just an aerial bombardment Wagdog was aiming for in these two cases; it was an aerial massacre, hence the obsessive insistence on clearing the two areas of civilians as much as possible beforehand.

Meanwhile, a further 150 Kh-555SDs flew in towards the sections of road where the terrorist trucks were to rumble over. 25 missiles were to descend upon the truck heading for Descanso, the idea being to simply fill the road with so many antipersonnel and antivehicular bomblets, from so many angles of attack since the missiles were maneuvering for approaches from nearly all directions, that the truck would simply have nowhere to drive to avoid its sure destruction. And as for the four semis going for the Calizorinstani capital, 125 missiles of the same type were to ensure the same fate for them: bomblets of doom being dropped on their heads from above by hundreds of cruise missiles coming from all directions, followed by the missiles themselves crashing into whatever trucks they could. All in all, the traffic in Calizorinstan was likely to be murder today; after all the detours the civilians would have to take, to stay clear of the carnage the missiles would unleash, were accounted for...
