Storyline:
From the Desk of the Secretary
Department of the Navy
TO: Naval Aviators in the Mediterranean Area of Operations
RE: Presidential Order #67
Recent events in your carrier group's area of operations have led to
runaway political and military instability in the region. In order to
stem the flow of military supplies and other stores into the area, the
President has declared the air space surrounding this region closed
to all military and civilian traffic. This is an attempt to ensure that
the current situation does not deteriorate any further.
Naval aviators conducting operations in the so-called "No-Fly" Zone
will be at a full state of combat readiness at all times. This air space
is, in effect, a free-fire zone; any aircraft entering it will be assumed
to have hostile intent. Naval aviators are authorized to neutralize
any such threats using all of the means at their disposal.
Intelligence reports indicate that one of the nations in this region
intends to test the President's resolve on this issue by conducting
offensive air operations in spite of the ban on air traffic. Naval
aviators are advised that the bulk of said nation's air power consists of
aircraft produced in the former Soviet Union, chiefly top-of-the-line
MiG-29s.
The President has expressed his confidence in the Navy's air arm to
successfully maintain the peace in this volatile region. As for myself,
I know that your training has prepared you for a mission such as
this, and that you will execute your orders superbly.
