BBC Public Service Announcement
On April 3rd, 2019, the Ministry of Peace announced they would be sending an aircraft carrier battlegroup to the Arabian Sea due to the heightened tensions between the western world and major terrorist cells such as ISIL. The intent of this strategic maneuver was to place a check on these cells, promising protection to Middle Eastern governments and U.S. firebases throughout the area. After forty-three days at sea, the Minipax battlegroup arrived at the port of Mina Salman in Bahrain for refueling and provisions. Since then, the small fleet has been wading in the Arabian Sea waiting for further instructions from the Ministry's headquarters in Washington, D.C.. According to recent reports, a bomber task force was ordered to take off from the nearby FOB Phoenix and head towards Iraqi airspace.

During their flight to Iraq, the Ministry of Peace announced it would intensify its intent on combating terrorism in ISIL-occupied Iraq and Syria and moved its carriers into the Persian Gulf. The guided-missile destroyers protecting the aircraft carriers launched multiple TLAMs, or Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles, towards terrorist-controlled territory near the city of Palmyra. After impact, the bomber task force took over jurisdiction of the operation. Two C-17 Globemasters and three AC-130W Stinger II gunships hovered over the bombed ISIL compounds as trucks filled with surviving insurgents scattered away. Shortly after the gunships opened fire with their 105mm Howitzer cannons and their 40mm L60 Bofors, a Minipax fireteam was deployed to document casualties.
