Situation

The Desert holds many isolated oil facilities and one such facility has been captured by a Company sized element of mercenaries hired by a self-proclaimed “Commander Prince of the Desert” who seems to want to expand his “Empire”.

Because the “Commander” has no backing or obvious ties to any country the U.N has inserted Theseus in this desert to neutralise these mercenaries and capture or kill this “Commander”. The path to the facility will be a hard one as there is very little cover in the desert and the insertion of Theseus has alerted the mercenaries.

After action report: 

Theseus with success utilized bounding overwatch and fought through the enemy mercenaries, and crossed the open desert until finally reaching a hilltop that overlooked the oil rig. From here we engaged and eliminated most, if not all, targets at the rig. However, one target manning a grenade launcher went unnoticed initially, and managed to fire off some shells at Ares 2. One died, while the other remained unconscious for the remainder of the mission.
The remaining Theseus members retreated to the FOB.
While we did not manage to confirm the death of the warlord, it's very likely as the location he was hiding at was bombarded with grenade launchers using a stolen AGS-30.

In total one contractor was killed in action during the mission.
