>>>>>[How much you want?

I have available for deployment one full mechanised infantry company,
air unit, two MiG-51 aircraft with support crew, one battery 155mm G-9
howitzers, four LAV-120 mortar vehicles...

Do we expect artillery, armour, air attack? I would think not, but if we
do I have means to counter. How much entrenchment/defence is possible?
Must we be covert or can we dig in properly?

Also, can we enter openly and link with you, or come into country
quietly? How large/extensive is threat?

I would suggest, if we operate with covertness in urban area, that we
send two platoons of infantry plus one section of combat engineers. One
platoon mechanised in LAV-30s, the other straight-leg, and one LAV-EV
for construction work. If safe to deploy perhaps six klicks from our
base, I would add two LAV-120s to operate detached and provide support,
mostly HC smoke.

Air and heavy artillery are not options for urban work if civilian
casualties possible.

How to transport? I have four C-130L transports, can move all this in
three four-ship lifts if have field. Herks can also use many fields not
thought possible by other users <smile>.

If must go in highly covert, then I can send two platoons of infantry
and one section engineers unequipped, but will have approx. three
standard containers of equipment to ship if this is short engagement
(three days combat or less), plus one container per three additional
days of action. If fewer troops required then you can _pro rata_ cargo
needs.

My wife prepares expenses as follows. Note these are to cover costs etc.
only, we make no profit, and please treat these figures with appropriate
confidentiality <smile>

You say what you need and how to move, I can deliver. Will be good way
for us to find out if Rebels can collaborate properly with
Serenity.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Bane, the operation which I am currently involved in has
several vacancy due to incompetance. If you are available for the
next couple of weeks, I would be willing to pay >encrypted< for your
unique services. The synopsis of the run is as follows: a simple hit
on a Tir sniper that goes by the name Orion. Bane, your role will be
one of pure magical/combat support. Bonejacker will be providing
matrix expertise.]<<<<<

seems it's your lucky day, I have just finished a datarun and am
starting to get anxious for some more excitement. Count me in. I'll
start a low-level matrix inquiry into any connections of leads
concerning this Orion.]<<<<<
