       Operation Report: Operation Blue
       By: Phoenix5117 Date: May 31, 2020, 7:40 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Reporting Official: J. Phoenix
       Reporting Official Rank: First Lieutenant
       Reporting Official Position: Zeus
       Operation Name: Operation Blue
       Operation Commanding Officer: First Sergeant J. Cotton
       Operation Members (Number of Members or Names): PV2. Python,
       1SG. Cotton, PFC. T. Schneider, SGT. "Na,Da"
       Operation Location: Lythium
       Operation Objective: Eliminate insurgents and rescue civilians.
       Operation Outcome: Civilians lost (ArmA) and Blue and Blue.
       Operation Description: The FRU squad, led by 1SG J. Cotton was
       tasked with eliminating nearby insurgents who had torched the
       local farms and taken the farmers hostage. As the squad neared
       the farms the bridge they need to cross was destroyed by what
       later analysis revealed to be satchel charges, most likely an
       attempt to stop any major offensive upon the insurgents.
       Luckily, the MRAP the squad was taking was capable of crossing a
       gap in the river allowing them to continue the mission. Paladin
       took their vehicle and circled the area twice, eliminating quite
       a few hostiles and then stopping to the north to continue on
       foot. By now, some rain has moved in and is slowly putting out
       the fires started by the insurgents. Paladin quickly pushed
       through the maze of stone walls and crops, clearing out any
       remaining resistance and soon made it to where the hostages were
       being held. Unfortunately, a surprise attack by the insurgents
       resulted in a few casualties and the loss of all of the
       hostages. After this surprise attack was pushed back, local
       police and paramedics arrived on scene as Paladin exited from
       the north to then circle around to the south and leave the A.O.
       to the west. During this maneuver, the gunner of the MRAP they
       were in opened fire on the police and paramedics on scene. Two
       police officers and one paramedic were killed. Blue on Blue was
       reported thirty seconds after the incident occured. A separate
       report was made regarding the incident.
