This was supposed to be a simple operation but the enemy’s resistance is tougher than anticipated. They took time to build defenses to cover their back but it’s nothing our naval support can’t handle.

We’ve pushed the enemy back and surrounded them, now it’s only a matter of time before they run out of supplies. We’ll wait for the armor before pushing forward.

They agreed to an unconditional surrender. Most committed rupture but the ones that didn’t we are holding in a temporary POW camp on the island. Our losses were a minimum and the enemy has been wiped out, I call that a successful operation.
Allied Losses:
52 SW Ground Troops KIA
3 Galactic Marines KIA
124 SW Ground Troops Injured
14 Galactic Marines Injured
1 M1A4 Abrams Damaged
1 Osprey II Destroyed (Pilot ejected, aircraft hit by stray AT missile, most likely a malfunction in heat lock on systems.)
.
BoC losses:
269 Ground Troops KIA (Most committed rupture)
98 Ground Troops Captured
10 Mig-21 Shot Down
3 Makeshift Tanks Destroyed (They were mostly steel plates welded onto an excavator)
Conclusion: The enemy was poorly trained and prepared for any combat. Most were using faulty equipment and I believe that they were a bigger danger to themselves than to our own troops.

Ok, sending over 300.
Expect arrival within 1 RP day.
@CaptainEssen
I have a force ready for deployment to Maywar to assist the population in securing the combat zone. I'll send them out.
@Jim1the1Squid
Perhaps you can have troops help search the island.
Is there anything that is needed from me?
@TheFantasticTyphoon
Roger that, I'll stay on Maywar to ensure we didn't miss anything.
@CaptainEssen
Ok. I'll send out some Drifter-C transports to fly the POWs to NovrdLisch for processing.
@TheFantasticTyphoon
It's an up armored and up gunned version with a tread layout similar to the Congsleader tanks.
Very good! I think our initial bombardment must have destroyed most of their air defences, I was expecting more losses in the Osprey II squadrons. I didn't know that you operated Abrams tanks.
