Operation Stray Sheep

The Rescue at Glubina is a rescue operation of the Circum-Pacific War.

Premise
The previous day, during the P.O.W. rescue mission in the Glubina region, Captain Kei Nagase, 3rd wing of the Osean 108th TFS Wardog, was shot down by an AA missile from a seemengly deserted bunker. Having ejected safely, a gunship of the Sea Goblin unit attempted to pick her up, but ended crashing due to the poor weather conditions.

The Execution
The next day, with better weather, Sand Island AFB command commenced a rescue operation in order to rescue Capt. Nagase. Nagase employed a distress beacon in the wilderness, which was successfully recieved by Sand Island. However, the beacon's signal was extremely weak, thus leaving Nagase's location unclear; furthermore, she was being actively pursued by a Yuktobanian search party, thus leaving little margin for error. Alongside the Sea Goblin, the Wardog Squadron was dispatched to Glubina to recover the Captain, while taking care of all opposition that might hinder their progress.

The squadron's craft were equipped with a special Beacon Sensor in order to trace Nagase's signal, and pinpoint her location. While being pursued by the Yuke interceptors, they followed the beacon's signal believing that it would lead them to Kei; however, they found out that it was actually a decoy signal generated by an E-767, which was promptly eliminated. Without any further hindrances, Wardog proceeded with their mission, until they reached Nagase's position. With her location confirmed, Sea Goblin then approached the battlezone, thus calling the attention of the Yukes. While their defenses were high, most of the local resistance (including the enemy search party's Chinooks) were erradicated, and Sea Goblin successfully rescued captain Nagase.

Result
The mission concluded in Nagase's safe return home. However, it was discovered that Nagase actually rescued the crew of the crashed Goblin gunship & led them through the forest. Furthermore, she had captured a Yuke soldier, whom Nagase interrogated in the ground.
