"OPERATION TYPHOON: BLACKHAWK DOWN

in the events of BLACKHAWK RESCUE MISSION 5

────────

Operation Overview

Location: Sawang Island, Southeast Asia

Operation: Typhoon

Primary Area of Operations: Sawang Island and its surrounding territories

Main Conflict: United Nations Joint Task Force vs. the hostile coalition controlling Sawang

Setting: Blackhawk Rescue Mission 5 (BRM5) universe

Sawang Island is under the control of a hostile coalition formed around INSOLON, the principal PMC occupying and governing the island alongside local forces and allied contractors such as KISMET. Dense jungles, isolated settlements, coastal installations, urban centers, and heavily defended strategic facilities make movement across the island extremely dangerous. Every patrol risks encountering hostile forces, and even routine missions can turn into desperate fights for survival.

INSOLON functions as the coalition’s primary military and strategic force. The Russian PMC occupies the island’s most important military installations, airbases, laboratories, naval facilities, and other locations connected to heavy weapons, advanced technology, command infrastructure, and high-value intelligence. KISMET, a highly professional Western PMC and private security company based in the United States, operates as a tactical ally with a stronger corporate, urban, and infrastructure-focused presence. The Sawang Militia provides local manpower, reconnaissance, perimeter security, roadblocks, and jungle patrols.

The United Nations Joint Task Force (UNJTF) has deployed multinational personnel to conduct operations against the coalition and other hostile elements threatening regional stability. However, the UNJTF is not the only organized military force operating on the island. INSOLON, KISMET, and the Sawang Militia present different but interconnected threats, each with distinct equipment, tactics, objectives, and motivations.

The situation is volatile. Intelligence is incomplete, communications are unreliable in certain areas, and units can quickly become isolated when operations go wrong. On Sawang, a soldier’s nationality does not necessarily determine their immediate allies, and a familiar uniform does not guarantee that the person wearing it can be trusted.

Hostile Forces

INSOLON

[ INSOLON PMC ]

INSOLON is the principal hostile PMC operating on Sawang and the dominant military force within the coalition controlling the island. Its personnel are predominantly Russian and are generally recognizable by modern tactical equipment, plate carriers, combat helmets, night-vision devices, and a wide range of modern firearms. INSOLON operates as a heavily equipped force focused on military power, strategic control, and the occupation of locations considered vital to the operation, highly professional, well-trained, and extremely well-equipped

Unlike KISMET, which maintains a stronger presence in urban, corporate, and civilian infrastructure, INSOLON concentrates on the island’s most critical and heavily fortified sites. Its forces are most likely to be encountered in the following areas:

• YaK Airbase North and YaK Airbase South: Strategic airbases with heavy patrols, controlled hangars, command posts, aircraft infrastructure, and reinforced defensive positions.

• Laboratory Complex and Pharmaceuticals Lab: High-security scientific facilities connected to gas incidents, quarantine zones, reactor-related operations, and sensitive research. These locations are protected by elite INSOLON operators and internal security teams.

• Helicopter Base and Docks: Logistical and port facilities used for troop movement, resupply, vehicle deployment, and the operation of armored assets.

• Royal Manor: A fortified high-value estate and tactical complex that can serve as a refuge, command post, or headquarters for senior INSOLON commanders and high-ranking contractors.

• Naval Facilities: Maritime installations, including amphibious assault ships such as San Antonio-class vessels, used to support naval operations, amphibious assaults, and reinforced coastal defenses.

INSOLON teams can pose a serious threat to UNJTF patrols, particularly when operating from prepared defensive positions with coordinated fire, armored vehicles, artillery support, or access to advanced intelligence. Their presence is heaviest around airbases, laboratories, ports, naval facilities, and other locations containing strategic equipment or operational secrets.

An apparently quiet route near one of these sites can quickly become a contested combat zone. Encounters with INSOLON personnel may involve reconnaissance patrols, fortified checkpoints, elite security teams, ambushes, counterattacks, armored convoys, or organized responses from nearby bases.

KISMET Private Military Company

[ KISMET PMC ]

KISMET is a Western private military and security company based in the United States. It is a highly professional, well-trained, and extremely well-equipped organization rather than a loose collection of mercenaries or local gang members. Its personnel are commonly associated with gray G3-style uniforms, AEGIS helmets, MPC 2.0 plate carriers, and modern Western assault rifles and support weapons.

KISMET is led by Richard Duke, its founder and chief executive officer. Duke directs the company’s corporate contracts and strategic interests, while field operations are coordinated by senior tactical commanders and executives commonly referred to as KISMET VIPs or Field Commanders. These commanders lead assault squads, manage contract objectives, and oversee operations at locations such as KISMET headquarters and the Federal Reserve.

KISMET maintains a tactical alliance with INSOLON. The two PMCs may share logistics, vehicles, controlled locations, and operational resources, including during major actions such as the Federal Reserve vault assault. Their cooperation does not make them identical organizations: INSOLON provides the coalition’s primary military and strategic force, while KISMET generally focuses on corporate contracts, urban control, security operations, and tactical intervention.

KISMET’s presence is strongest in civilian infrastructure, urban areas, administrative centers, fortified towns, corporate complexes, and important transition zones. Its personnel may operate from streets, villages, office buildings, converted civilian structures, headquarters, and other facilities adapted into tactical bases. In Sawang, KISMET helps secure routes, urbanized areas, mansions, logistical corridors, and locations that connect INSOLON’s strategic strongholds.

KISMET contractors are not simply another group of anonymous enemies. They have their own personalities, loyalties, professional standards, and relationships with one another. Some prefer patience, concealment, and precise engagements, while others favor aggressive assaults and overwhelming firepower.

For the UNJTF, KISMET represents a particularly dangerous opponent because its experienced operators understand conventional military tactics and can exploit the weaknesses of an opposing unit. For KISMET, UNJTF personnel are potential obstacles to its objectives, regardless of their individual backgrounds.

Sawang Militia

[ LOCAL MILITIA ]

The Sawang Militia consists of local armed fighters, rebels, and auxiliary forces familiar with the island’s terrain, settlements, roads, jungle routes, and hidden approaches. Their equipment and training vary considerably, ranging from basic firearms and civilian clothing to better-equipped personnel operating alongside INSOLON and KISMET contractors. Insurgents, basically.

The militia acts as a local support and containment force for the hostile coalition. Because INSOLON and KISMET are foreign organizations that require control of the ground, roads, settlements, and jungle approaches, they rely on the Sawang Militia to perform much of the initial patrol and security work.

Militia responsibilities may include:

• Patrolling jungle perimeters and rural approaches.

• Blocking roads and controlling movement between settlements.

• Providing early warnings when UNJTF units or other hostile forces are detected.

• Guarding checkpoints, villages, and secondary routes.

• Supporting INSOLON and KISMET operations with additional manpower.

• Guiding foreign contractors through terrain they do not know as well as local fighters.

Their knowledge of the island can make them dangerous opponents, particularly in remote settlements and heavily vegetated areas where visibility is limited. They often form the first layer of resistance around more valuable facilities, while INSOLON and KISMET operators provide heavier firepower and specialized capabilities.

Not every enemy encounter will look the same. A patrol might face poorly equipped local fighters one moment, a militia roadblock the next, and highly trained INSOLON or KISMET contractors shortly afterward.

United Nations Joint Task Force

[ UNJTF ]

The United Nations Joint Task Force is a multinational military formation composed of personnel from different national armed forces and specialized units. Its members retain their original national identities, training, military backgrounds, and professional habits while serving under a common operational command.

This multinational structure creates both advantages and friction. Operators may have different communication habits, equipment preferences, doctrines, and tatics, Despite those differences, they are expected to coordinate under fire, follow the mission plan, and protect their teammates.

Scenarios:

SCENARIO ONE — DOWNED AIRCRAFT

Affiliation: UNJTF

Assigned Team: Akane, Linnea, Maya, and Elena

Starting Location: Sawang Jungle

You are a member of the UNJTF element assigned to operate alongside Akane, Linnea, Maya, and Elena. During an insertion flight over Sawang’s dense jungle, their helicopter is struck by an RPG fired from a hostile position.

The aircraft loses control, clips the treetops, and crashes into the muddy jungle floor. The impact damages the fuselage, scatters equipment across the cabin, and leaves the survivors disoriented. The pilot is critically wounded, communications are unreliable, and hostile forces begin approaching the wreckage.

SCENARIO TWO — KISMET CONTRACTORS

Affiliation: KISMET PMC

Assigned Team: Chloe “Fennec” Varga and Valeriya “Onyx” Morozova (and some KISMET goons 🫩✌️)

Starting Location: Sawang Jungle

You are a KISMET contractor operating alongside Chloe and Valeriya during an assignment on Sawang Island.

During a period of heavy rain, KISMET personnel identify a UNJTF helicopter passing over their area of operations. The team fires an RPG, striking the aircraft and forcing it down into the jungle.

The crash presents an opportunity, but approaching the wreckage carries risks. The surviving UNJTF operators may still be armed
