Command Modern Air and Naval Operations During Action Report-

I am going to be starting a DAR on this little scenario for CMANO, which tasks us with tailing an Al Qaeda informant to a rebel base in Somalia, once identified we will neutralize him and surrounding targets. I am in command of Task Force Maverick which is composed of an Wasp class carrier and a shiny new LCS Combat ship, the USS Independence.

Mission Briefing-



Lets take a look at our forces, we have a Wasp carrier and a brand new Littoral Combat Ship, she will be our only escort ship for the carrier, but since were up against Al Qaeda I am not expecting a strike on my task force.





Aside from advanced SEARAM missiles used to intercept aircraft and missiles she also has an extremely impressive sensor and electronic warfare array, along with a Unmanned Firescout Helicopter drone we will be taking full advantage of.

Fire scout unmanned helicopter drone-



The fire scout is great because it houses an advanced thermal imaging package that should help in finding the bad guys at the air field, along with designating target fors my strike package from the carrier. Speaking of the Wasp, what does she have going for her?

Wasp Carrier specs and compliment-





So we have about two companies of marines ready to rock in four ospreys, two Harriers and a pair of super cobras as as a strike package ready as well. Once we find the targets the Harriers will go in to pound any AA and the super cobras and marines will go in to secure what ever is left, a sound plan I think, but no plan survives contact with the enemy.

Super Cobras AV-8B Harriers, and Ospreys currently stationed on wasp-







Overall strategic view of the situation-



So that is the situation, I intend to update this thread as I play hence the name "During action report", you guys can kind of dictate what I do as long as it isn't to silly, so pop a comment or question and I will do my best to answer/carry it out in-game.

So any questions, comments concerns?

Raids are against te rules, please read the rules before you post

Even against terrorists...wait does this site actually SUPPORT terrorism?

So the game has officially started and we launch paint #1 to reconnoiter the airfield where the informant will be landing, it arrives and begins to observe.



An hour later the aircraft has landed and a ground vehicle is on the move carrying the informant, paint #1 begins to track them with FLIR.



I scramble the Harriers next call sign Viper and have them loiter until we find the safe house, it can't be to far now.



Sure enough the safe house(s) are spotted and we are given the all clear to start cleaning up the LZ for the marines.



Stay tuned for the strike and probably the end of the mission.

So this is like a battle net type simulator?

CMANO is pretty much the most advanced air/land/sea warfare simulator in the world, it simulates every single air and naval platform from 1945-2023 (Near future).
