Powder Keg

(Duration: 1 day; Playable side: USA) The Iranian Crisis has come to a close with a popular uprising overthrowing the tyrannical government and look to be welcomed back to the world stage. All should be well but the Chinese have refused to take responsibility for starting the hostilities in the Gulf of Oman and have also declared the former Iranian government as the rightful rulers. They have also whipped up the popular opinion that the United States is trying to undermind it in the World Stage and also in the Pacific. China has given the United States 48hrs to remove all of it's Naval and Air Power from the region or face an overwhelming attack. DEFCON has moved to 2 and the world braces for open conflict between Superpowers. Russia has remained quiet but has staged it's forces on the eastern front to ensure it's own protection. NATO has urged for Calm but has recalled it's military members from any planned leave and have begun the process of deploying them if required. The United States has been assessing it's force posture in the region since the late 2010's and has been stadging pre-determined bases in the advent of open conflict from China and has its forces on the highest alert. The majority of the US airpower is located on the island of Okinawa and the USA has positioned a PAC-3 Patriot battery there as well as multiple AAA placements. Once valid intel comes across that China is to strike the base evacuate all possible aircraft to escape the onslaught. (editors note: This is the scenario that leads into OPERATION:SWIFT EAGLE and Dragon Retailiates! on the CAMO workshop. The Iranain conflict mentioned is being further polished up and will be released later on)
