Somali Elite Force HQ, Somalia-06.00 AM EAT-Fatih a.k.a Bismarck

"Good morning soldiers! Today we have a Joint Patrol Operation of the Turkish army at TURKSOM Camp and a mercenaries group from Wolfpack Company, near Aden Adde International Airport. We will use 6 BMC Kirpi as our vehicles and 3 military trucks in the middle of the convoy, 5 S-70 Black Hawks from Turkey will also join the operation this time. This convoy will be commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Adden in the second vehicle."

"Our convoy will consist of 2 BMC Kirpi in front, 1 military truck, 1 BMC Kirpi, 1 military truck, 1 BMC Kirpi, 1 military truck, and 2 BMC Kirpi. We will move at a speed of 25 kph (Kilometer per hour) to ensure that we comply with the timetable. Make sure your timer is the same as the other."

"Thank you, Mr. Bismarck. The route we will use is from TURKSOM Camp - Aden Adde International Airport - Somali Hospital - Street 21 October - Stadium, then we will walk to the new port and arrive at Aden Adde International Airport according to the red line on the map. There, the transport helicopter will take us back to Headquarters. Helicopters will join the convoy once we pass the International Airport, but they will leave us when the convoy reaches the Stadium to continue patrolling."

TURKSOM Camp, Somalia-07.30 AM EAT-Capt. Bismarck

After being unloaded from the helicopter carrier, the Black Ops team and Lieutenant Colonel Adden walk slowly to the BMC Kirpi vehicle in the middle of the convoy while the others were scattered in their vehicles.

"Alright, all personnel! Get in the vehicle immediately! The convoy will depart in 2 minutes!"

"Yes sir!"

"HQ! This is Eagle Convoy! We'll move based on the schedule."

"Headquarters! It's the Eagle Convoy! We'll move as scheduled."

"Understood, conditions are very safe and smooth today. You are allowed to move."

"Understood! The whole convoy! Move!"

"I hope no storms pass today."

"I hope so."

The convoy moved slowly while reaching the airport in sequence to equalize speed with the helicopter convoy which will follow us to the stadium and divide after that.

Via Lenin Road, Somalia-08.00 AM EAT-Captain Bismarck

When the convoy arrived at the intersection before Somali Hospital, an RPG bullet flew almost hitting the front of the car. Suddenly, the entire convoy came to a halt. All personnel in the convoy immediately searched for the shooter's whereabouts.

"Bzzt... AMBUSH!!"

"All units!! Alert code one!! I repeat, alert code one!! Hold fire!! Hold your fire!!"

"RPG!! Right side!!"

"Enemy militia approaching!! Need help!!"

"We're being bombarded by enemy fire!! Can't provide any help! Colonel!! Command us to shoot!!!"

"Fine! Fine!! All units!! Alert code two!! Open fire!! Open fire!! Don't shoot any civilians!!"

"An enemy vehicle is blocking its route!! Sir! What should we do?!"

"Keep firing!! Shoot the nearest militia!! Reduce their number!!"

When the firefight began, the helicopter group following the convoy immediately lowered their altitude to help the trapped convoy. They circled the convoy to help the main convoy and reduce the number of enemies as much as possible while avoiding the RPG attacks fired by the enemy. One of the Turkish helicopters, the Blackhawk 7, turned out to be slightly off the defensive circle route suggested by its Major. This resulted in the defense of Blackhawk 7 being exposed to the enemy.

Suddenly, an RPG hits and blows up the third military truck. Panic and shock began to hit all the troop's emotions in the convoy. Several teams that remain calm in vehicles began to descend to evacuate survivors and transfer them to a second truck. After everyone was rescued, Lieutenant Colonel Adden decided to direct the convoy towards the National road, then turned towards the Marud Harbi road to stop inside the Stadium and reload all their supplies stocks before returning to continue patrolling and heading back to the Airport.

"All units!! Prepare to move to the right! Full speed to National road! We'll cut the route!! Leave no one behind!!"

The journey to the National road was a bit calm because the main militia force was in front of the Somali Hospital to block the convoy. They thought the convoy would advance through the blockade they had set up by leaving a little gap for the convoy to pass. This is a great plan to trap and destroy the convoy.

Unfortunately, Lieutenant Colonel Adden chose to turn the convoy to the right to continue the journey to the Stadium because they had to deliver important supplies for the troops at the Stadium. Then the convoy will immediately go to the airport where additional troops are located. The Somali police moved quickly after hearing the news from the local outpost. The police begin to gather more men and some vehicles to be used, then they are immediately going to the spot. Despite their small products and equipment, they were able to disperse the militia forces to disperse/spread out so as not to cause more chaos.

FP 20, Somalia-09.30 AM EST-Fatih a.k.a Bismarck

The convoy went smooth and secure at this moment. No militia seeing around and chasing the convoy. Suddenly, Lieutenant Colonel Adden commands the convoy to stop in a faint tone.

"Lieutenant Colonel, why are we stopping here?! We'd better move now! Lieutenant Colonel? Sir?!"

After I saw it, it turned out that Lieutenant Colonel Adden had serious wounds to his stomach. He directed the convoy to stop so that he could decrease the bleeding from the shock in the vehicle that made it worse. I quickly ordered the other Black Ops members to take care of the Lieutenant Colonel while I took over the leadership of the convoy.

"All units! I, Bismarck will take over the leadership of the convoy. Continue to Marud Harbi road and advance to the Stadium!! We don't have much time!!!"

"Roger Sir!"
