Operation Hive 2 Feb 17

DOORS AT 1pm - GAME AT 3pm

Operation Hive II

A terrorist cell backed by an international arms dealer has acquired the equipment and engineer’s necessary to launch a massive Cyber warfare attack on multiple critical networks and utilities in the USA.

A deep cover operative has obtained the location that this attack will be launched from and provided us with the locations of the data cores.It is a hardened data facility hidden in a factory complex.
US Forces with assistance of CIA Tactical Response Group will infiltrate this facility, neutralize any resistance and find the data clusters and detonate short range high damage EMP bombs simultaneously to destroy the equipment and its data in place and keep them from shifting the attack to an alternate site. If the operative is still alive, they will try to assist you with on-site Intel.
Resistance will be heavy and well-armed and anti-personnel traps are strewn throughout the facility.
Failure could mean collapse of multiple critical systems and networks and more attacks are imminent if they are successful.

NOTE

• This event will use Medic rules and a death rag will be required.
  
• Team Colors will be strickly enforced and comms are highly recomended.

This is a Mil-Sim event
