India 1 Section 2 After action report
Hello,
This is Michael Moe from India 1 Section 2, I was with the Alaskans as a medic, and in a sqaud with the danes. I healed MANY people, I was wearing cadpat and wielded a G36. In 11PM, were in Prague, Czech, Ive had a couple shots of Vodka, and this bulletin board doesnt have spell check =)
Day 1 Night 1-
India was deployed to find a downed black hawk with a black box. We deployed around a farm area via convoy and slowly went down the trail. We went extremely slow due to darkness and never found our target. However our front squad did manage to find a surafce to air missile and stole it. In my opinion less stealth should have been used, especially with 3 platoons traveling, if there are enemies in wait, they will spot us.
Day 2-
Awoke late from various gun fights and screaming. Went out to investigate and woke up the rest of my Alaskan mates, the danes were already up. We were told a mission would be soon and to be ready. After 2 hours our orders came down. The Black Hawk was going to be used in a propaganda video by the mercarnioes to show their power. We deployed with the Israel squad in front (Indian 1?) they were very cautious (More then my liking), but they did the job, with a little navigation help from the Danes and Kyles GPS. We came to the clearing of the blackhawk and began moving into the field. We had sepratists to the left and right of the hawk, and mercnaries on it. We approached and made an agreement with the sepratitists to give us control of the hawk. Upon moving in heavy fire began from both sides. I attended to 4 Israeli soldiers, and one Sepratists. Once we had control of the black hawk we split our ways with the sepratists and took a mercnary prisoner (Good sport). We than preprared to hold our perimeter to 3PM (Our goal). All was well and we completed our mission. I found out I lost my hat though, so I entered the field to find my hat along with an Israeli, losing my hat was good fortune though. Mid-field artillerry began being fired on the black hawk and we had 4 wounded. I attended to a fellow medic and our platoons were in full working order, but within minutes another artillery blast landed and we suffered our first casualties.
We left the area and finnaly came in to contact with base and set up a evacuation point. We had some conflict issues for directions which was taking precious time so I shot my weapon, and said we need to move. GPS was very helpful for navigation. We got to the the convoy and had to stuff our bodies, we didnt have room for the prisoner. I suggested we let him ago, but our platoon leader wasnt so merciful, at first he attempted to shoot the prisoner in the head, but the pistol jammed. Guy suggested again we let him go, but our platoon leader slit his neck. I attempted to report these actions, but apparently it is common of the non-American NATO forces to murder prisoners in cold blood. We arrived at base at around 4-5PM. to
Day 2 night-
We waited till about 7 for orders and none had arrived, and than the Israelis said we could get deployed to aid the UN base in defense, 5 Israelies, and the 4 Alaskans boarded a truck and headed to the UN base. On the way we saw men in chemicals suits and were told that a virus had been released back home at the NATO base. Upon arrival at the UN base we were put under gun point and put into Quarantine. We were quite angry, but what could we do. The Israelis were quite persistent at arguing with our captors, and when they had the 3 weapons pointed at one, I knocked him out. ((The UN placed us on a hill covered with poison ivy, but we were not really affected)) (They revealed to us they did have a cure. I attempted to give a after action report once we got to base, but they werent interested.) After an hour they let us go, saying at truck would arrive for us in 20 minutes. Soon an hour passed and our platoons set out down the road home. Then we ran into contact with Mercanary forced with a Mobile Missile System and tank, along with 15-20 troops. Although we did not have anti-tank weaponry we depolyed on both sides of the road pincering their troops between a lake and a creek, if they wanted to pass, they would be slaughtered. They went right past us, and our right flank opened fire and with the tanks attention on them the left flank killed the remaining soldiers. We had many wounded, but due to the survival of one medic our platoons were in good shape. Their one tank moved on to attack the UN base we believe. ((The soldiers also "respawned" 100 feet down the road from us, we assume they had a new respawn and this was part of a game even.)
We held position on the road for a while in which we saw many wounded NATO forces travel by in a convoy, we knew our boys had been slaughtered in an attempt to aid the UN. This is where our squads split apart, the Israelis and one Alaskan went to the entrance of the UN head on, and 3 of choose to sneak into the UN. We approached from the hilly terrain in the woods and came under fire from the UN, upon confirming our identies they let us in. Their commander informed us due to the situation that we could not stay and help them, I was quite confused by this matter, but we accepted the situation. They began to escort us out, and all of sudden the UN commander took a hit to the chest, I quickly hit the dirt and began medical attention on him. I wish we couldve stayed to help the UN. Upon escape from the UN base we ran across mercnaries again, except they majority of them were dead, respawning we assumed. We re-entered the woods in an attempt to make it home, in the woods we ran parallell to the road, came across at least 50 mercnaries. We hit the ground and waited to see what was going to happen. Then they began skirmishing with the UN forces and we knew it was our time to make a difference. With at least 20 soldiers in front of us we opened fire taking out at least 10-15 soldiers, the rest of the forces began blindly firing into the woods and the 2 soldiers with me were taken out (Mitch/Peter), I remained in cover and they sent some sentries to make sure the woods were safe, whom I shot. Than after a countdown the deafening noise of 20-30 rifles was my death. We marched back to the NATO base.
At the base the majority of people were already hitting the tents, when we came under attack by none other then the mercnaries. There were so many people yelling medic, that I dropped my rifle and went to work. I healed 2-3 right off the bat, and went to the temporary medical station by the snack shop, where troops were being dragged. I ran out of bandaids, and went to my tent for more. Afterwards, the fighting moved to around the command station, and so did I. I healed some of my Israeli comrads, various others, and an italian. But as I was healing one of the italians, one of their medics hit the dirt next to us and friendly fired me on accident. ((The bullets hit my bare hand from less than a foot away leaving large bruises and wounds I still have today 12 days later.)) The bullets went through my hand and the medic apolgized and healed me. I continued to heal our troops as we pushed the enemy back. I healed at least 20 of our men this fight, went to base and passed out exhausted from all the sprinting.
Day 3- Woke up at 9ish being told we were going to be deployed, we finnaly got deployed at 12 to contact the sepratists to barter for use of their medical facilties (respawn) We made it to then with little trouble and set up a perimeter while the alliance was discussed. We were told that they hade made a deal with the mercnaries and that we could ambush them. A win-win for both our teams, but this never happened, insteaded our ambush waited the and the mercnaries attacked the sepratists. Our platoon moved up to the mountain region where I healed many sepratists, and was shot by a mercnary from below. After being healed I continued the push with the sepratists and we stop the mercnary attack. We headed back to the bunker, where we found out that some of our troops were stuck. Getting ready to run to our men, I took a hit to the chest, and again was healed. The Medic warned me of a grenade trap behind, so I didnt move and waited for a chance to cross the road, but in the excitement and in setting down my weapon so I could sprint to help our downed men, I set off the mine. I was heavily wounded. (Dumb mistake) Upon waking up (Respawning) in the sepratist medical center, I was welcomed with the faces of my squad and the Israelis. We were ordered to deploy and attack the mercnary base, the journey was actionless, and we arrived aftered the mercnary base was taken. Artillery began shelling our location and we moved out, unaware of the ambush awaiting us on the road.
We were walking down a road to meet a convoy when we met a russian who said: Are you game on? he was wearing a death flag... Once we answered he yelled FIRE. A very shameful act, he should of approached alive or just fired on us.
Both the men to my left and right were wearing multi-cam and took multiple shots, I guess my woodland saved me as I hit the dirt and began healing them, many fellow soldiers were wounded in this battle, many died. I went through 6 of my bandaids, and another 2 healing a couple sepratists. In the end only the 4 Alaskans remained, the rest of the NATO forces had either split or died. It was an off game zone, us, and the mercnary forces, we waited in ambush for revenge... Upon them coming in range, I shouted our motto. AMERICA! followed by my men yelling --- SPAM !!! --- YEAH! In the initial opening burst we killed 4-5 mercnaries but again all 3 of my comrades were nailed, while my woodland camo concealed me when they have multicam targets. Unfortuantly I had one bandaid left and noway to reach them. The mercnaries began moving forward, I saw one to the left approximetly 20 feet away, crawling on his knees all I could see was his head. With a quick burst and yelling AMERICA I took off his head. Upon his hit he kept yelling at me that he didnt have a death rag, and stared right at me giving away my position to the other Mercanaries, another came to a position which I shot yelling AMERICA and came under fire from at least 6-7 people. I was dead.
Overall I had a awesome trip coming out here, there was alot of waiting which I did not mention because their was so much of it. But I hear it was even worse for other platoons. I didnt do much shooting as being a medic is a full time job, in my opinion. I was very pleased the performance of India. The navigation was very slow in my opinion, especially when we had 3 platoons during 2 missions. If you are that worried about enemy contact, we shouldve have sent out point men. Thanks to the Danes and Israelis for their comradery, and the fun time at the beer party, I was totally out of it. Good games.
And hello to all those I healed who were not in our platoon, especially the sepratists who payed me for my work.
