Operation Boogie man

Operation Boogie man was a small scale anti rebellion operation located in a small Greek island archipelago. Specifically island K1S9 also known as Kisq. It consisted of an Finnish Army platoon clearing an lightly defended hostile area. The platoon was covered with air support.

Operation was kicked off due to an Finnish Tank that the militiamen destroyed.

Planning
As the news about an rebellion held area reached the Finnish Army airbase at the northern tip of Kisq an recapturing mission was ordered. The planning of the operation fell on the shoulders of Captain Jyrki. An experienced helicopter pilot and an infantry man. He chose Sgt. Talvela to be his commander in the field. After that he requested for air support, which the HQ granted. He was given Sgt. Miekka's AH-64 apache attack helicopter, crewed by Sgt. Miekka and Cpl. Niitty.

The plan was very simple. It consisted of an LZ few hundred meters north of the AO and the infantry platoon would advance from there and capture the area. Also the Apache would fire AGM's and Gatling guns into the area before the infantry platoon would arrive.

Execution
Operation began problematically, as an militia rebel managed to get an lucky shot into the engine of the Apache. The transport helicopter landed smoothly, and Cpt. Jyrki decided to join the Infantry platoon in clearing the AO. The apache then fired an missile which accidentally homed towards the transport helicopter of Cpt. Jyrki. Luckily the infantry platoon was already out, as well as Jyrki himself, but the helicopter was destroyed.

Apache fired some 3 AGM's at the AO and then fired Gatling guns at it too. The area was devastated and many of the militiamen were killed. The infantry platoon arrived and was faced with small arms fire from the surviving militiamen. The platoon managed to neutralize the militiamen with the cost of one casualty.

The Apache returned to the base, as Sgt. Miekka was too afraid that the engine damaged might down the helicopter. The infantry platoon kept clearing the AO, until they faced an heavily defended building. They requested for more air support, which Miekka grudgingly accepted. The Apache arrived and fired some 5 missiles at the hostile building and destroyed it. The platoon then began clearing building with the aid of the Apache, until the apache faced an fuel shortage and had to rebase. 1 man was lost during this clearing phase.

Cpt. Jyrki requested a new transport, as the old one blew up. Sgt. Miekka then flew back with an new UH-60 transport copter and they returned safely with only 2 casualties.
