Background Information The invasion of Iwo Jima was one of the last major raids on Japanese held territory during World War II. This was the final step for procuring the deployment of the A-Bomb, or potentially the final step for the beginning phase of Operation Downfall. The goal of taking this island was to strip the Japanese of their morale, and the critical airfields that lay on the island. It was a short, but grueling engagement from the start. The Japanese had tunnels, gun emplacements and traps all over the island: all were well hidden. This is a tough operation, so expect to die a lot, but it's all in the nature of fun and experiencing this amazing map and operation. Additional Mods You will be required to use our 101st Airborne preset and the Iwo Jima map mod. Additional Information Since we're operation as Marines in 1945, we will have access to an array of weapons, and the layout is quite simple and allows for fluid changes between the teams. Each squad will have their own Landing Vehicle Track (LVTA) for deployment from the Landing Vehicle Tank (LST).

Background Information Operation Topside, the ensuing airborne drop showcasing the might of the United States Armed forces in 1945, and the capability of its Airborne. General MacArthur, following the recapture of the Philippines, decided he would end the conflict in the Phillipines in grandeur - by silencing the guns on the island of Corregidor in the same fashion the Japanese Imperial Army and Navy did four years prior. The 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment would be dropped onto a deadly drop zone, a parade field less than three hundred meters in length, atop an island hill with little terrain for cover. Additional Mods You will be required to use the normal 101st Airborne Division modlist found on the website, plus Pulau and the East Asia War Mod Additional Information The operation order will be posted in roll call.
