Three days ago, Russia sponsored an armed revolt in the Scottish Countryside. This revolt was quickly quashed, but Russia took advantage of the chaos to sneak in several units of their forces and have now launched a surprise occupation of Scotland.

You are a US force participating in the assault to relieve Scotland of its occupiers. Your task will be to clear two towns and disable air defenses in the region. Intel suggests the enemy will have lightly armored vehicles and APCs, so ensuring you bring AT is advised. The rebels Russia took advantage of to get in have been largely crushed, but may still be present in minor numbers and will be hostile to you. The mission will start at 3:30 AM, so it will be darkish for the first 15-30 minutes but will run into sunrise fairly quickly.

There are two main squads, Alpha and Bravo, and a recon squad, Golf. Alpha Squad lead will be overall for the mission.

To represent the rushed nature of your assembly, arsenal options are intentionally pretty limited(but please let me know if something that seems like it should be there isn't)
