The Circum Pacific War started with Yuktobania attacking [[Osea]]. After their failure at the [[Raid of Sand Island]], Yuktobania stopped all attacks. In late October, the [[108th Tactical Fighter Squadron]] was sent on a patrol mission to [[Akerson Hill]] in coastal Osean soil, guarding northern Akerson which was out of the local Osean AA automated defense network. However, they encountered a lone Osean [[C-5B Galaxy]] en route to [[North Point]] of the [[Usean Continent]] which wasn't emitting a friendly signal due to its flight's top-secret nature, which led to the ship being fired upon by the local AA network, which knocked out its radar. After leading the Galaxy, callsign '''Mother Goose One''', through the AA field, Wardog assisted in its crash-landing in northern Akerson, only to be "rescued" by the [[8492nd Squadron]].

Once making landfall, the OMC companies pushed through the mountainous terrain, knocking out several bunkers with Wardog's help. After pushing through the bunkers, the four companies joined into two units who attacked the outer walls of the fortress at the rear.

"Move, Move! Hit that beach and start running! There's no time to kiss the ground!"
― Alvin H. Davenport

Operation Footprint was an operation launched by the Osean Defense Forces (ODF) during the Circum-Pacific War. It was the first step of an amphibious invasion of Yuktobania. [1]

Prelude

During Operation Vanguard, the Yuktobanian Navy lost several ships, including the Scinfaxi, which left Yuktobania vulnerable to an invasion. In response to the attack on Sand Island, Osea decided to carry out an invasion of Yuktobania. Four companies were selected from the 1st and 2nd Army Battalions and sent to the Bastok Peninsula in order to secure a beachhead for the rest of the Osean Army. Wardog Squadron, fresh from their patrol of Akerson Hill, was sent to provide close air support. [1]

Battle

The Osean amphibious forces faced resistance even before they made landfall. After landing on the beach, they destroyed several bunkers with Wardog's support and eventually regrouped into two units that attacked the outer walls of the fortress at the rear. With Wardog's help, they broke through and joined into a large-scale unit to battle the Yuktobanian soldiers inside the fortress's inner wall; they were soon able to capture the fortress. [1]

Aftermath

Following the successful operation, the Osean military established their field headquarters on the Bastok Peninsula. From this point on, they would begin advancing towards their final target, the capital city of Cinigrad. [1]
