For the first time Gtown resceduled a game! The date is now May 16th.
At georgetown They will be hosting OP: Scimtar. The OP goes as follows:
During the late nighttime hours a plane carrying spent uranium from an Indian nuclear facility to a secure storage depot went missing along the Pakistani border. The plane has not been heard from since and there are no indications of why the plane is missing. There are two possible scenarios being considered by Indian officials. One is that the plane has landed for unknown reasons and the crew is unable to communicate and two being that the plane has gone down due to mechanical failure or hostile intent. The primary concern is the uranium that could be used by terrorist factions in the area to fashion a dirty bomb. There is a high probability that the aircraft is on the Pakistani side of the border. Indian officials are reluctant to send forces into the area due to political tensions and fear that such action would by seen as hostile by Pakistan or terrorist groups. India has called on the US for assistance in the matter. The US can not take direct action either due to unstable relations with Pakistan. This does however pose a threat to US troops in the region and if a dirty bomb is smuggled into America it could be used on US soil. In light of this threat the US has opted to employ private military contractors to investigate the situation and recover the uranium and any surviving crew members. NATO and the UN are keeping their distance from the situation but at the same time have made no objections to manner in which the United States has decided to deal with the matter. Indian military forces are on standby and have been made available to the contractors if needed. To the eyes of the world India is calling the shots on this one and has full jurisdiction over the operation. The US will remain a silent partner in the operation and will not take any direct action unless things get out of control and there is a threat of eminent danger. The situation on the ground is unknown and the theater of operation is hostile territory. There are several Mujahideen training camps in the area of the planes last contact. This is a threat that the contractors need to take very seriously and use extreme caution during operation. The PMCs will have their work cut out for them.
