This is the documentation for the fourth mission of Operation: Fallen Sparrow, Mission Code Name: Dire Saber. Note, none of the operational maps have been included as they were maps of the Athens Georgia Airsoft field. While the scenario itself could easily adapted to another field, the maps would be useless.
Scenario Set-up:
· Each team will have one HQOC to act as the command element for the team they are handling. (Ukraine HQOC will act as SDU Officer’s HQOC as well.)
Each HQOC will receive their own information sheet to assist them in playing the role of the team’s command element.
Each O.C. will of course need at least one radio to communicate with the team and the field O.C.s if necessary.
· Each team will have an FOC assigned to remain in the general vicinity of the team.
These O.C.s will be present to handle any on-the-spot judgment calls that need to be made and to deal with any observation of mission objectives that may be required for a particular mission.
Teams:
Glass Fox Units:
- The U.S. forces will have one medic for every five team members that they have.
- One player with a radio will be designated as the team RTO (Radio Telephone Operator).
- One player will be designated as the team electronics expert.
- One player will be designated as the team demolitions expert.
Ukrainian Units:
- One player with a radio will be designated as the team RTO (Radio
Telephone Operator).
- The Ukraine forces will have one medic for every ten team members that
they have.
- One player will be designated as the team’s demolitions expert.
- One player will be designated as the team’s electronics expert.
Placement:
Glass Fox Units: Glass fox will be walked to the small town as their starting point first.
Ukrainian Units: Ukrainian forces will be walked to the big town as their starting point last.
Missile: The missile should be placed on the field, somewhere about evenly spaced between the teams.
Scenario Play:
· The Ukraine team must locate the missile. Secure the fission core and the guidance system cartridge. Destroy the missile and get to their extraction zone.
· The Glass Fox team must locate the missile. Secure the fission core and the guidance system cartridge. Destroy the missile and get to their extraction zone.
· The scenario will end when all of the Glass Fox members have been captured/killed or extracted from the area of operations.
Special Rules:
· The U.S. team will use medic rules with each soldier being able to be revived a maximum of two times. On the third hit the player is eliminated from the game.
· The Ukraine teams will also have medics but each soldier will only be able to be revived once before having to go to the re-spawn point and re-spawn during the re-spawn cycle.
· Re-spawns for the Ukraine forces will occur every 10 minutes after the start of the game.
· One FOC must be at the Ukraine spawn to time the re-spawns correctly. (This will simulate small squads of reinforcements being called into the area.) The re-spawn point for the Ukraine forces will be ____________.
· Glass Fox members/Resistance fighters captured by the Ukrainians must be taken to AO Mexico and be evacuated for interrogation.
· When Glass Fox members are captured and evacuated or are eliminated (killed) then they have the option of going back to the staging area and re-spawning into the game as resistance fighters. When re-spawning the resistance fighter may only have two hi-cap magazines worth of ammunition for their primary weapon, no radio equipment and they must also be wearing a noticeable piece of civilian clothing. This could be a hat, coat, blue jeans etc.
Resistance fighters have no medics and may not re-spawn again. When a resistance fighter is captured or killed then they are eliminated from that scenario.

Mission Code Name: Dire Saber
Situation:
As Dr. Grovsk informed us would happen, the Dark Sparrow cruise missile was ejected from the plane that was transporting it to it’s final testing facility. The homing beacon was not activated so this gives us a chance to grab what we need if we can locate it before the Ukraine forces. The missile has been engineered with some kind of new core material and an advanced guidance control system. More information available in orders supplement.
Mission:
Locate and secure the missile. Recover the nuclear core, the guidance system cartridge and destroy the missile prototype.
Execution:
You will infiltrate into the area on foot. Locate and secure the missile. Your electronics expert will then remove the nuclear core and the guidance system cartridge. Your demo expert will then destroy the missile. You will then proceed to your extraction zone and request extraction.

The Kh-36 is a new type of cruise missile that has been undergoing it’s final testing in the Ukraine. So far, the only variant known is aircraft launched though there has been speculation that a naval launched variant may also be under development.
The missile is propelled by a jet turbine that uses advanced technology to make fuel consumption much more efficient. The propulsion system gives the missile a range of slightly over 805 kilometers. Because of the missile’s relatively low maximum speed of just over 417 kph, coupled with the ruddervator, forward canard wing, and forward-swept main wing structure, the missile demonstrates superior maneuverability. When the maneuverability of the missile is linked with the advanced guidance systems on board, it gives the missile the capability of executing true “Nap of the Earth” (NOE) flight, maintaining an altitude of just a few meters with no more than a meters variance during it’s flight.
The guidance systems consist of an inertial global positioning and mapping system, visual terrain recognition and response system and a remote satellite control interface that allows course and target to be changed all the way up to terminal engagement.
Sensors on the missile consist of visual target recognition and identification, in the infrared, thermal and visual light bands, passive radar, and synthetic aperture millimeter wave radar for terminal guidance and target acquisition.
The missile can carry a conventional, chemical or a new type of nuclear warhead. The nuclear warhead is believed to have a core of a new synthetic fissionable material that drastically multiplies the destructive force of any reactive explosion caused by it. As a result, the core can be very small while still maintaining high yield destruction.
This cruise missile poses a serious threat to NATO and the free world as it can be launched from a very distant stand-off range and fly at altitudes that will keep it from being detected until it is much to late to react.
As the F.O.C. for the Glass Fox team, the only thing you will need to do, besides normal refereeing activities, is to confirm the detonation of the charges on the missile when the time comes.
