  1. Operation Iraqi Freedom 'Diyala Crossroads' Saturday, September 24th @1800 CT 1st Platoon, Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 5th Regimental Combat Team, 1st Marine Division Situation "On the morning of 4 April, Ironhorse led the Division's Main Effort, RCT-5's attack to Baghdad. With signs that the enemy's ability to conduct a conventional defense in Baghdad was collapsing, rapid progress was expected. Commencing their attack from approximately 10 km to the west of Al Aziziyah, Ironhorse ran into stiff resistance not far after crossing the LD. It was clear that the enemy along Highway 6 had not gotten the word that they were losing the war. The combined arms power of the MAGTF was brought to bear..." "As the lead elements of RCT-5 approached to within a few km of Baghdad, the enemy set fire trenches adjacent to the road ablaze, making visibility extremely difficult. At this point in the battle the fog of war began to thicken for the battalion. The intersection of Highway 6 and Route Green (the route leading north to the battalion's objective) was known as the 'Diyala Crossroads'. The intersection was to play a significant role throughout the coming fight..." Mission After loosing an M1A1 from heavy RPG and sniper fire, 2d tanks has managed to continue moving through 'Diyala Crossroads' followed by 2/5. Lima and India Company of 3/5 has been ordered to halt and clear both roadsides in the vicinity of the 61easting and provide security of the burning M1A1, with the support of the battalion's lead tank and CAAT, and AH-1Ws from the 3d MAW's Killers Roster **Modlist** ROE & Reinsert Policy Due to the continuous stream of Iraqi propaganda stating they have repelled the US advance, the civilian populace has not evacuated and is intermingled with military forces. As such, care must be taken to ensure you are engaging hostile forces. Additionally, exercise extreme caution that irregular forces are not attempting to appear as civilians. During or between engagements, reinserts will come in waves of at least 3, and will only be allowed to cross the LD during times of little to moderate contact (zeus discretion). If a player has been waiting to redeploy for more than 5 minutes, he may be teleported during times of little to no contact (zeus discretion)

  4. Yeah, the last training I attended I was down and someone used my gear to treat someone else since they were both black on medical. I also have that stuff there so I can say "yeah sure just grab some from my bag" that way I dont have to stop what I was doing just to lend someone something
  5. Damn you beat me to it. I have mags, radios, and medical in my bag Grenades in my vest and misc stuff in my uniform all my loadouts since I started playing arma are the same in this regard so I never have to look for things
  6. Welcome to the 15th! I’ll have to hit you up sometime about your FBO. My dad and I have been contemplating opening up an FBO and flight school at some cozy little airport. Let me know if you need help with your exam prep or anything. Im getting ready for my checkride right now. Good Luck!
  7. I used to have success switching radios but during my last OP that was unsuccessful so I wanted to see if others were having this problem. I have no idea about 343s since I don’t use them but everything else I have had issues with. @C/LCpl Sanderson your now my runner lol you basically were one during the op tho lol
  8. Been having a lot of problems lately with peoples radios just deciding to stop working in the middle of an OP. From what I have seen its random and the Radios will just stop working with each other. For instance I may not be able to hear Person 1 over the radio, but he can hear me, and Person 2 cant hear me but I can hear him. It makes for some very difficult radio comms when information is having to be passed between multiple people before it reaches the intended person. I have no idea what is causing random drops like this because everyone is running TS 3.1.10 and the radio freqs themselves are not dropping out, but even if everything is going smoothly, someone may just drop of of comms cause of this. Almost forgot from what i have seen it is ONLY 152 TYPES RADIOS as in the 152 and 177 as well. I have not heard of anyone having problems with 343s.
