Situation

The records of the island of Porto are almost non-existent its a Tiny island in the North Atlantic Sea which held a population of 0 until it was discovered to be used as a hideout for a Large Pirate group. With the solidarity of the island and no formal government a hands-off solution was used to deal with the threat. The island was Carpet bombed with Gravel Mine clusters to deny the island to the Pirates. That was 50 years ago.

For this reason, a Team of four IDAP reporters travelled to the island to learn more about the island and see if anyone still inhabited the island and if possible, see to a demining program. However, what they found was something much worse. By the time they had docked and briefly travelled through the town of Porto they were attacked. There have been only a handful of transmission from the team since.

From the transmission from the team we now know the island is being used as a base for a an ISAS terrorist cell and that half of the team has been captured or killed with the rest hiding somwhere in the town. They also report there is still an excessive number of mines on the island and other trash piles and ruined vehicles are showing up on the conventional Mine Detector.

Further contact from Porto was lost until the demands for ransom came. All attempts to reach the island by conventional means have failed as all water transports were shot on sight by the terrorists. Its clear they want no deal.

IDAP with the assistance of NATO have managed to insert Theseus to the North East of the Island in the town of Largo (032 029) which is surprisingly empty while NATO cause a distraction to the South West. This tactic has worked to insert Theseus but has alerted the Island and left Theseus without any assets other than what we can carry.

Drone recon of the island show an excessive number of combatants on the Island be prepared to face at least 2 Platoon sized elements with support from at least 3 BTR-40s with a mounted DSHKM.

After action report: 

Theseus was tasked with searching the town of Porto for the 4 IDAP personnel.
En route towards the town, we encountered several mines which resulted in us having to move carefully towards the objective.
Eventually we got engaged by the enemy from the town, and unfortunately suffered two casualties.
We proceeded to move into town, and slowly worked our way through, keeping eyes out for both IDAP hostages as well as mines.
We eventually managed to clear the entire town, and the final IDAP member was found.
Finally, Theseus headed back towards their landing point with all four IDAP members, 3 of whom were unfortunately dead.

Two contractors were killed in action during the mission.
