Increasing recent priate activity in the Strait of Hormuz has led to calls for a coalition intervention into the escalating crisis.
Intelligence indicates multiple cells operating out of the islands dotted around the Straits, one such cell targeted for a strike is Sir Abu Nu'Ayr. Lying just 40 miles from Abu Dhabi it's being used as an observation post to coordinate further attacks at sea.
The green light has been granted for a land assault and has been authorized by the UAE. Fast jets departing Al Dhafra will soften hard targets ahead of a land and air assault by units of the Expeditionary Unit positioned 3m off the coast.

| UH-1H | 2 |
| F-16CM bl.50 | 4 |
| AV-8B | 2 |
The CAS will start at 7:45:00 and all AAA threats must be eliminated by 8:30:00. 4 x F-16 will depart Al Dhafra AB and immediately proceed to disabling low altitude AAA.
2x AV-8B will then depart from the USS Tarawa 3m off the coast and provide CAS as required.
The ground assault begins at 8:30:00, by this time all AAA threats must be neutralized to ensure the air assult is not opposed.
3 x APC AAV-7 will begin their land assault and establish a beach head. 2 x UH-1H will drop an Infantry Section to assault the North West of the Island.
Both groups will rendezvous and return to the Airfield waiting for re-inforcements from the mainland later that day.
