Gentlemen and operatives of the 46th Strike Force,
Your Fleet Admiral and certain High Command and a small selection of operatives have been in deep discussion about our next steps and plans for our organisation.
Due to increased smuggling activity and also a upsurge in Piracy, and even more concerning is the fact that Insurgence and also Outcast and Nomad incursions into Liberty are increaseing we have come up with some operational class protocols which are proposed by the High Command and also the operatives who have been involved.
These new operational protocols will improve our operational activity and also will give a number of operatives the chance to take part in these operations as they are announced.
We have spent alot of time on this and we also need to be vigilant with regards to these upsurge in incursions and also the increase in piracy and smuggling.
We have also noticed a upsurge in smugglers coming through Omicron NU which has been part of a covert operation to observe and also gather evidence of these individuals who make these trips.
The smuggling of illegal substances into Liberty has to be stopped and basically controlled in a way that means we can stamp down on these smugglers and put them out of business.
As you can see from the proposals below we already have some of these operational protocols in place and have done some successful missions.
Mission protocol Recoil will be one of the most ongoing operations that we will be undertaking and as the operation proceeds we will be increasing this to more locations in the future so we can be ready and able to respond to any smuggling and pirating operations and to also conduct intel over a larger area.
Each of these protocol missions will be announced well before they are to take place under a classified encrypted message to all operatives and will need a very in depth report from the operative who has conducted the mission.
Please take some time to study these protocols and also I will be taking some feedback from all of you regardig the protocols and all feedback should be submitted through our private channels.
All protocols not yet operational will be announced as soon as they are approved.
CLASS PROPOSAL : ARMOR
INTENT: Designed to define operations of protection and/or transfer of key materials or personnel when intel suggests hostiles are to be expected.
USAGE: Two successful Ops so far, both protecting commercial allies of Liberty in Libertonian space. 1 Transport designated 46th|ARMOR-BARRICADE for key material transportation. HC and pilots recognize ARMOR CLASS as escort operations.
STATUS: Currently in use and operational
CLASS PROPOSAL : RECOIL
INTENT : Designed to define RECONNAISANCE operations, like information on smuggling routes, confirmation of enemy activity and scouting for hidden threatning elements. Put under the banner of the new RECOIL division, delegated to LtCmd Romeo Darkbeat by Admiral Van Leer.
USAGE : Currently one operation has assesed the route of smugglers through alaska, virginia, texas and NY to and from Omicron Nu, with a foothold being stablished on Alaska and smugling activity reducing slightly. Another Op uncovered an LSF derelict base with lootable craft inside. Currently a Light figther designated RECOIL1 is waiting HC approval for the installation of a light cloaking device and a second light fighter, RECOIL2, has been commisioned. Both will have basic weaponry, CD capabilities, Adv. Deep Scanners and cloaking tech.
STATUS: 2 successful Ops, Class Setup Underway.
CLASS PROPOSAL : LONGBOW
INTENT : Originally devised as what became RECOIL, LONGBOW has been idealized by Fleet Admiral Creed as long range, long term Operations. These can be from criminal investigations and Enemy Base sieges to log term operations, official faction business or war-time operations if Liberty goes to war with other houses.
USAGE : None so far
STATUS : HC studying approval
CLASS PROPOSAL : SERAPH
INTENT : Originally proposed as the natural succession of RECOIL or LONGBOW operations, SERAPH would be highly classified missions that required cooperation with LSF, LPI or maybe even other factions, such as foreign allied military
USAGE : None so far
STATUS : HC studying Approval
CLASS PROPOSAL : DOMINANCE
INTENT : Devised as a definition for operations that require a large fleet composed of multiple capitals, possibly with a snub or bomber element. Literally, asserting dominance.
USAGE : None so Far
STATUS : HC studying Approval
CLASS PROPOSAL : FOUNDATION/TOPGUN
INTENT : Proposed as training and educational operations designed to keep individuals in all ranks on a state of continuous learning and top performance,, from simple snub training activity on simulators to full rehearsals of patrols and operations of other classes. From previous experience, ARMOR will require special rehearsal and predefined Standard Operation Procedures. we are hoping that Ensign Black_12 be given the lead on this one, provided he is agreeable to this and will be given an increased rank to be able to do this.
USAGE : None so far, but training on simulators needed
STATUS : HC studying approval
CLASS PROPOSAL : KETER
INTENT : Proposed as extremely risky and delicate operations.These can be missions that require stepping out of naval normal bounds, wartime critical operations that have clear consequences involved or the risk of any Navy installation being destroyed or the lives and livelihoods of 46th members, Naval officers and Liberty citzens be put on Jeopardy.
USAGE : Luckly, none so far
STATUS : HC studying approval
