Following on from the presence patrol 1st Cavalry Division performed into the village of Kar Shek a large number of Taliban forces have been attacking FOB Prince relentlessly for the past week. The unit have suffered multiple casualties and KIA's. With no end in sight, SF units were called in to strike strategic locations in the area in hope that this would disrupt the Taliban's attacks. This however, has come at a cost, and an SF unit has gone missing, as well as the insertion helicopter they were in. With little intelligence as to where the unit is hopes are fading of finding them alive, their last GPS locations were from 2 days ago. Nothing has been heard from the unit since and the GPS trackers have now stopped working. Although under heavy attack the only units in the area are the 1st Cavalry Division, running low on supplies and ammunition. The British Royal Marines stationed 35KM to the North are unable to provide ground assistance as they are in the same situation.

Notes from Commander:

• All requests for Close Air Support/Medevac/Resupply/Insertion are to go to Mako 1-6 on FREQ 60.0. Mako 1-6 will contact Rattler 1-6 on FREQ 50.0 to request an asset to assist 1st Platoon as necessary. Once the asset is in the area of Operation for Mako 1-6, Infantry can contact the bird via CAS Net FREQ 45.0 to guide in the bird/direct close air support.
• If an infantry element is in threat of being overrun and requires immediate assistance, they may declare a "Tactical Emergency" to Mako 1-6, who will then have Rattler 1-6 redirect all available air assets to Mako 1-6's Area of Operation to prevent the unit from being overrun.
• Expect the enemy to utilize grenades when in close combat.

In 2014 NATO and ISAF troops started their final push deep into the northern territories of Afghanistan. This one was final ditch effort to remove the Taliban from power and cease their operations in the North. This push would prove to be some of the hardest fighting ISAF troops had engaged in since their initial deployment in late 2001. The Taliban, although weaker than ever before still had a substantial force based in the North. ISAF troops knew this and sent every available force into the region. The US supported by the British moved into Kunduz, a known Taliban stronghold and scattered with IED factories and ammo caches. The local elders had supported the Taliban's efforts to keep the north under their control. This proved to be a key factor in the ferociousness of the fighting. The US forces formed 2 FOB's in the area, each manned by a platoon of combat troops and attachments of USAF and British Royal Marines. In their initial patrols the area seemed quiet with no fighting and locals seemed welcoming to their presence. However, over the coming weeks this dramatically changed and fighting was occuring on an hourly basis. Both FOB's took IDF, RPG's and VBIED attacks daily. With Camp Bastion airbase and Kandahar airbase been over 2 hours flight time away for fast air, they rarely had any support and supplies were scarce.
