Campaign
OPPFOR Tactical Alpine Group =TAG=
Mission SEEK/DESTROY ENEMY FORCE, Prevent Terrorist Assassination Threats
Insertion/Extraction 160th SOAR. HALO insertion. Helicopter extraction.
Background The Vatican Secret Service, CIA and NATO Intelligence have developed intelligence that connects =TAG=, an outlaw mercenary group, to a plot that seeks to destabilize and topple the shakey status quo of organized religion in the western world. =TAG= has organized a plot for the purpose of assassinating Pope John Paul II during his Papal visit to Israel this week. The 79-year-old pontiff has followed in the footsteps of Christianity's founder throughout his Middle East trip trying to bind the wounds of religious strife that have bled the region for so much of its history. On Saturday, the penultimate day of his pilgrimage, John Paul travels to Nazareth, where he will attend a prayer ceremony at the Grotto of the Basilica of the Annunciation. =TAG= assassination plans will unfold there. If =TAG= succeeds, their plan calls for the use of "credible misinformation" to be delivered to the state run media of each faction. By placing blame for the act on Zionist extremists, PLO hit squads, and Lebanese Christian Militia Commandos, the ensuing gross confusion will result in immediate military strikes by multiple governments in the Middle East, creating a three way "Holy War". Their plan to eliminate the Pope serves the =TAG= goal of "creating a market for their services" by destabilizing the fragile peace between the Jewish, Christian and Muslim States in the Region. They will then offer their considerable SpecOps expertise to the highest bidder in the "Holy War".

Preventing this pending crisis and threat to international stability is an allied TOP SECRET SUPER CRITICAL MISSION. Allied Supreme Headquarters has determined =1FS= BRAVO TEAM is the only covert friendly force with the background and expertise to deal with this international threat. 

Objective Engage and eliminate the enemy forces at the bases where the =TAG= elements stage for their mission. By destroying OPPFOR while they are deploy for their assault on the Pope, the terrorist threat of =TAG= assassination teams will be eliminated before they can put their plan into action. 
Intelligence Reports FBI reports that =TAG= is comprised of ruthless Ex-US Military SpecOps operators. Many have traveled through the different international mercenary organizations. Several have actual Combat experience.
