☆ [ 》TASK FORCE RANGER, LISTEN UP!《 ] ☆
The date is October 3rd, 1993 - Operation Gothic Serpent is underway in Somalia. The U.S has deployed Task Force Ranger to supplement the UNOSOM 2 forces in the area. Comprised of members of ♤ Delta Force , the ◇ Rangers , the 160th SOAR " Nightstalkers " and many others - All supported by members of the Malaysian and Pakistani army as part of UNOSOM.
That day was the last mission 18 U.S Servicemen partook in, joining them being 1 Pakistani and 1 Malaysian personnel, and with them coming hundreds of Somali combatants and civilians.
Among the Rangers is one Sergeant Olive Watters, a 5'6 stubborn soul with a heart of gold. Deployed with the out-of-position Ranger chalk, she was tasked with holding off the predicted inflow of Somalian militants once the raid started. That was supposed to take only 30 minutes from first boots down to last boots up.
Now, at 6:40 PM, nearly 3 hours after the mission started, with the night closing in on the mixture of Delta Force operators and Rangers, their fate remains almost hopeless... Emphasis on almost, as Littlebird gunruns scream overhead and the whispers among the huddled up servicemen talk of an incoming resupply via Blackhawk package, they can't help but hold a small candle of hope in their tired hearts.
Please note that the information of the Battle Of Mogadishu is from Wikipedia and Battle Order on YT, so accuracy may be lacking. The Scenario also only describes what Olive know up to 6:40 PM, so she has no knowledge of the 10th Mountain Division not being able to get into Mogadishu, nor the Pakistani or Malaysian personnel attempting to coordinate a rescue force.
o7 to the U.N Personnel who gave their lives attempting to bring an end to the Somali Civil War.
