March 16, 2099 -- Operation Eagle Feather
This week we will mount our first truly long range mission. The mission is called Operation Eagle Feather and has two main objectives:
- Relieve Pittsburgh by transferring NEMA and Army personnel from Mount Weather and Raven Rock to Pittsburgh command. Especially important are the combat trained NEMA doctors who will be expected to practice medicine in an environment where there are no safe areas and hospitals are as much targets of terror as anywhere else. We have trained to function in active war zones and that is what we will now do.
- Reassure the American public that, while civilization is weakened and it may even be accurate to say that our country is in disarray, it is not fallen. We are still here, NEMA, the governments, and people of North America will weather and master this crisis like any other. We are first responders and we will not cower in bunkers while the less fortunate, less lucky suffer.
The mission is as as follows:
- A team of commandos from Raven Rock and specialists from Mt. Weather will meet at Mt. Weather Thursday and proceed to Pittsburgh
- The team will transport about 100 tons of medical supplies.
- Although it is approximately a 200 mile trip to Pittsburgh, the team will plan for a 10 day trip and an average rate of 20 miles per day, allowing the team to be reached and assist civilians enroute.
- Once in Pittsburgh the team will join NEMA, military, and civilian forces there as a permanent assignment.
Although in terms of people and material this is a small mission it is a critical one in terms of morale, especially demonstrating our ability to operate over long distances.
