Operation Backhaul

"Is Captain Bartlett there? Check for a Captain Bartlett."

- Kei Nagase Operation Backhaul was an operation that focused on liberating a POW (Prisoner of War) camp in Glubina, Yuktobania.

Prelude
With the destruction of the Hrimfaxi, the Osean Army was able to continue their offensive. A POW camp was discovered during the offensive, and a team of marines attacked and captured the camp. A flight of helicopters was enroute to perform a rescue operation, but the airspace was patrolled by enemy fighters.

Battle
After Wardog Squadron arrived on the battlefield, they focused on shooting down all enemy fighters to secure air superiority. In addition, the marines that captured the camp had to defend themselves against a counterattack. Soon after Wardog Squadron secured air superiority, the Sea Goblin rescue team arrived, and Wardog Squadron had to protect them from enemy anti-air defenses. Eventually, the Sea Goblin unit was able to rescue the prisoners. However, Nagase was shot down by a missile, and the helicopter that attempted to rescue her crashed due to poor weather.

Result
The mission was a success, and all POWs were rescued. However, due to poor weather, the remaining pilots of Wardog Squadron and Sea Goblin would have to wait until the next day to be able to rescue Nagase.
