OPERATION KASHAN FREEDOM

Over the last 10 years Saudi Arabia have depleted their huge Crude Oil stocks, to just 1 years worth of supplies left. This will have a huge impact on the countries economy to the point that in 2005 Saudi Arabia contravened NATO & the UN Security Council when a Saudi Arabian Fleet invaded and took control of Muttrah for its Oil Supplies.

The Saudi Arabian Government have always maintained that this was under Muttrah’s complete agreement. Since then the Saudi Army and Airforce have slowly being building up their Military Power, to a point where they could now carry out any offensive operations alone, something that has never been seen.


Nine months ago a Saudi Brigade moved to the East of Kashan, a small wealthy Oil State, known for its vast oilfields. Two months ago they moved up to its Border and took control of a Large Airfield where they are notably forming their Brigade up, in what can only be seen as preparation to move west and claim a large number of wealthy Oilfields. The Kashanian Government has recently requested NATO assistance to stop their Oilfields being taken over by this dominating Army.

Last month a report was drawn up by the UN Council which clearly stated that the Saudi’s where not sanctioned in any of their actions, and that a NATO response was justified, and if the Border was crossed it would be classed as an act of war.

NATO responded within a matter of days, and 7th Armoured Brigade (UK), The Desert Rats, where put on standby. A UK Team mainly made up of UK Pathfinders and a Pln of 2 Para, where sent to secure a disused Airfield just inside Kashan, to prepare for the possible deployment of 7th Armoured Brigade, and also carry out CTR's (Close Target Recce's) on possible key areas. The Saudi’s did cross the border as suggested by Intelligence.

On April 22nd the first elements of 7th Armoured Brigade started to arrive, and the whole Brigade where in position by April 30th . The Pathfinder Task Force have now since moved forward to prepare Brigade Forward Operating Bases in 2 villages west of the Brigade HQ, in 2 small disused villages.

The Saudi Army are known to be lightly defending a very large military storage complex, with reinforced concrete hangers. This, as intelligence suggests is in preparation for a Divisional deployment by the Saudi Army.

7th Armoured Brigades first mission is to secure and take control of this facility, to deter this Division being deployed to the region. Intelligence reports suggest this area is defended by only 2 companies of the Saudi Army, but can be reinforced quickly.

Therefore their Attack will have to be swift, clinical, and they must maintain the element of surprise to overpower the enemy prior to its reinforcements. Therefore this will be an evening attack to try to catch them off guard.

Therefore this will be a planned NIGHT ATTACK, so situational awareness will be reduced, and instructions clear prior !!

This is sure to be one hell of a battle, as both Countries have some of the most advanced equipment on the battlefield, with the Saudi’s whole Army & Air force using US equipment.
