**Location: **South Japan, [Kerama Islands](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=682140680)****

### After Action Report:
**Training Operation was canceled after C-DST units invaded the southern Kerma Islands. Marines took Heavy Casualties but managed to fend off and push back attackers to the northern side of the islands.**
### World Story:
**Seven months ago CJTF failed to extract an Arms dealer** that would have otherwise uncovered a plot to overthrow the Chinese government with a more **anti-western ultra-nationalist attitude.**
As a result, the government created an organization to rival that of NATO. **The Canton Defence and Strategy Treaty (C-DST)** comprises China, Iran, Afghanistan and North Korea.
### Situation:
In the face of increased tensions between China and its surrounding countries, **The U.S. has sent us (The USMC) to train the Japanese defense forces.** We will be covering efficient Logistics, Defending Hardpoints, and Combined arms Assaults specifically with mechanised Armour.

### Mission:
**Hotel 2 (YOU) will assault point “Samurai”** with simulated small arms and heavy weaponry. **Hotel 2 will demonstrate USMC combined arms doctrine** and the Japanese Defence force will demonstrate their understanding of the Defensive doctrine we taught them yesterday.
### Execution and Considerations:
**Set Loadouts: USMC**
As this is a training exercise we'll be swapping your live munitions with practice munitions.
- Loadouts will be set - **Arsenal for cosmetic and armor change Only**
- Weapons upgrades can be scavenged in the field at designated or Hidden pick-up locations (Like in Half-Life)
- **You will spawn with nonlethal simulation rounds and 5.56 Rifles.**
- Detain all downed JDF with zip ties
