OPERATIONS ORDER
Operation Polaris (2039), Sculptor (Phase 1)

--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
After last months capture of Malden and its formidable Airbase, NATO now have a base of operation in which to launch a campaign on the more centralized islands. To this end a rapid strike on Stratis has been devised to secure the militarized island. Stratis is a key military stronghold in the region making it strategically essential to take and hold the island before NATO may begin planning its attack on Altis. Following dereliction and abandonment in the civil war of 2030 the island has been entirely militarised without a civilian presence. NATO forces should therefore be able to hit hard and fast, aiming to take the island within the day.
