Orders for Cmdr NATO Forces

 

Situation

Following the capture of Iceland, Soviet Naval Aviation has now established a presence at Keflavik including the 14th Fighter Regt (MiG-23M Flogger B) and the143rd Bomber Regt (Su-24 Fencer B) with associated tanker support. No AEW Aircraft have been identified so far.

Initial recon overflights have assessed that the airfield will be fully operational within two days.

The Oriskany CVBG with Carrier Air Wing 19 embarked has been allocated to pre-emptively take down the airfield using "Alpha Strikes".

Oriskany is an old ship having started her career in WW2, Korea and more recently Vietnam but still has one good fight left in her, "The Mighty O" is now in position with the rest of her strike group along with assets from Sondrestrom and Thule Air Base.
