Attu Island Operation (1984) - Played by Wolfpack345

With Soviet forces expelled from Dutch Harbor, the last Red Army troops in the Aleutians have dug in at Casco Cove Coast Guard Station on Attu Island.

The Soviets plan to reinforce their troops on Attu with additional ground forces as well as aircraft and helicopters. A convoy with ASW escort is expected to sail towards the island soon, however specific information about the size of this convoy and their intended path is very limited. Naval intelligence believes the Soviet Pacific Fleet has placed extra significance on this operation, either to hold the island as a bargaining chip in any future peace negotiations or to draw our forces into the range of their anti-ship missile carrying bombers.

Because of all this, three attack submarines have been relocated to the theater and have been assigned to a patrol area between Kamchatka and Attu. These boats will use the old tried and true WWII tactic, a picket line, to locate and intercept the Soviet ships. Expect Soviet naval aviation to be active and the appearance of one or more Soviet submarines is likely.

One group of US warships will be operating east of Attu. Because of poor weather our satellite photos of Attu are outdated and incomplete. Conduct air operations over the Coast Guard station and report back on the current strength of Soviet forces. Attack any Soviet assets in the area as you see fit.
