[NTU] Operation Crimson Surge
A communist uprising in the Philippines has escalated into a full-scale insurgency, with the New People’s Army (NPA) seizing control of key locations in Mindanao. Intelligence reports confirm that the Soviet Union is covertly supplying the NPA with modern equipment, including coastal defense assets, fast attack craft, and advanced surface-to-air missile systems. The Philippine government has formally requested military assistance from NATO to prevent further destabilization of the area. A direct involvement of Soviet forces is unlikely at this point but can’t be ruled out completely due to the rising tension between NATO and the Soviets.
NATO Carrier Battle Group 7 (CVBG-7) surrounding the USS Nimitz (CVN-68) has been ordered to enter Philippine waters from the west and neutralize the NPA’s military capabilities. Your primary objective is to secure Macajalar Bay and ensure safe passage for follow-on NATO forces. Additionally, high-value intelligence suggests that the NPA headquarters is located somewhere in Cagayan de Oro. Destroying this HQ is critical to crippling the insurgency’s command structure.
The stability of the region is in your hands. Good luck, Admiral!
