Each smoke color will have an associated meaning when seen. The following outlines the default meaning of each smoke color. These assigned meanings may be altered per mission, with the exception of red smoke, at the discretion of the Task Force Commander. In this event, these changes MUST be specified in the Task Force’s respective OPORD under the “Command and Signal” section. Green - Identify a Friendly Position Red - Identify an Enemy Position Yellow - Identifies Explosives White - Concealment Purple - Used to identify a mass casualty situation. While this does not mean that there are no corpsmen around, it does mean that the corpsmen need help in treating the casualties on their own and are requesting assistance from other corpsmen or CLS infantrymen. Blue - Used to indicate a breakdown of Command. All the officers, SNCO's and NCO's are dead and no command is in place for the rest. Orange - Special Duty smoke that’s meaning is assigned during the planning phase at the discretion of the task force commander.

OFFICIAL DEPLOYMENT ORDER: VIGILANT ECHO UNIT: 17th MEU / Maritime Special Purpose Force (MSPF) AO: KUNAR PROVINCE (THE BORDER HIGHLANDS) BACKSTORY: A LINE IN THE DUST The Siege: For the last 48 hours, the 2nd Battalion, 9th Marines have been the "Thin Blue Line" on the Iranian border. Following the outbreak of hostilities, they have been cut off at their Forward Operating Base (FOB) by a massive, asymmetric surge of IRGC-backed insurgents. The enemy didn't just attack; they strangled the valley. Using the jagged Kunar ridgelines, insurgent mortar teams and snipers have pinned the 2/9 inside their own wire. The base's flight line is "Red"—no birds can land, and no supplies can get in. The 2/9 is low on water, low on bandages, and down to their last crates of 5.56mm. The Stakes: This is an Official Relief Operation. The world is watching to see if the U.S. can protect its own. If the 2/9 falls, the border falls. If the 17th MEU breaks the siege, we regain the initiative. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ AO OVERVIEW: THE KUNAR FISHBOWL The Kunar Map is our Tactical Kill-Zone. The "Alamo" (FOB): Located in the valley. It is surrounded by stone walls that provide the insurgents with infinite cover for "Hit-and-Run" harassment. The High Ridges: The insurgents have established Observation Posts (OPs) on every major peak. They have "Eyes-On" the base 24/7. The "Green Zone" Chokepoint: The only road into the base runs through a dense thicket of trees and irrigation ditches. Intelligence suggests this "MSR" (Main Supply Route) is heavily mined with IEDs to prevent ground relief. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 2026 OFFICIAL EVENT SCHEDULE Task Force: 17th MEU / MSPF Cycle: 5th Sundays & Designated Holidays Date Occurrence March 29, 2026 5th Sunday May 31, 2026 5th Sunday June 21, 2026 Father's Day July 5, 2026 Holiday Sunday (Observed) August 30, 2026 5th Sunday November 29, 2026 5th Sunday ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ COMMAND BROADCAST The schedule for the 2026 deployment cycle is now live.
