Op: Whalers Airsoft Combat Mission. Follow up to Red Wing (Combat Mission)

Operation Whalers

Location: Korengal Valley, Kunar Province, Afghanistan.

Months after the tactical edge gained in Op Redwing, Operation Whalers is on the start line ready for infiltration to go toe to toe once more with the Mountain Tigers in Kunar Province.

This time, the mission is targeting the Korengal Valley of the region in a bid to finish what Redwing started.  Its goals and expectations are almost identical- remove the growing Taliban threat from the villages in the area before it spreads to the wider Province and endangers more servicemen and women.

2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment has been given the task of inserting into the area of operations and creating a cordon to stop any fighters escaping.  Combat operations then will be conducted, taking the fight to the enemy and getting payback for the losses of the previous deployment.

2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment:

Insert by ground and air to the area of operations and destroy the Taliban.

Taliban - Mountain Tigers:

Repel the enemy and ensure no further commanders are captured.
