Description
After invading the province of Anizay, American regular forces pushed further into the countryside while leaving behind a National Guard garrison. You are those brave weekend warriors who only signed up for cheaper college and affordable healthcare.
This is a defense op where all the contact is spawned in by 2-3 zeuses and players hold several FOBs and a main base. Logistics will be vital to a successful defense as the FOBs start out undersupplied and will require deliveries from Logi.
Players start out spawned in their FOBs already or at HQ if part of Command/Logistics, Artillery, Bradley, or Mobile defense. All players respawn at HQ. Logistics will also be responsible for transporting respawns back to their respective FOBs. Command/Logi should NOT let respawns drive off with logistics vehicles.

Slotting recommendations
This can be overwritten by commanders/zeuses, but these are my recommended slotting priorities
Command: Always open
Obeh Defense: Always open. The third fireteam (TL/SAW/AAR) can be left empty if players are limited.
Nauzad Defense: Always open. The third fireteam (TL/SAW/AAR) can be left empty if players are limited.
Retribution Defense: Always open. The third fireteam (TL/SAW/AAR) can be left empty if players are limited.
Bradley crew: Strongly recommended
Logi: Bare minimum of 2 required
Artillery: Always open
Mobile Defense: Overflow squad
Zeus: One required. Strongly recommend at least 2
