Operation Kilimanjaro

Operation Kilimanjaro, informally known as the Battle of Olympus, is a joint military operation conducted by the 7th Infantry Division involving two phases; including the attack on two ACS-controlled air bases located to the North and South of Olympus, and the attack on Olympus itself. Carried out on October 2062, the operation was split in two with the 1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team and the 1st Operations Fighter Group attacking the Southern Airbase, and the 3rd Stryker BCT, 1st Armoured BCT, and Special Combat Aviation Regiment attacking the Northern airbase. Phase 2 will involved a simultaneous attack on Olympus from three sides to overpower the ACS defenders with overwhelming firepower.

Background and Development
Orion Expeditionary Corp forces reinforce Forward Operations Base Starkey in preparation for Operation Kilimanjaro that will take place in two phases:


 * Phase 1: The capture and seizure of two ACS airbases to the North and South of Olympus to cut off all ACS Aerial support
 * Phase 2: The attack on Olympus and capture of either Eric Saunders and/or Armin Alvitr

ACS Airbase seizure operation
Attacking the Northern Airbase was left to elements of the 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team and 1st Armoured Brigade Combat Team of the 7th Division, with aerial support provided by the Special Combat Aviation Regiment. Attacking the Southern Airbase was left to elements of the 1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team of the 7th Division, with aerial support provided by the 1st Operations Fighter Group and 7th Aviation Regiment.

Invasion of Olympus
After the complete seizure of the two airbases located outside of Olympus, both strike forces would make their way into Olympus from their respective locations, pushing to the Cordova River near the West side of the city where both strike forces would regroup.
