Chapter 5-Alpha: American Assault
September 24th, 1986 ████ GMT
Lieutenant ████ █. ████████, United States Navy, Callsign Mother Goose
F/A-18 Hornet Fighter Aircraft
Mission: Classified
The F-18 moved quickly and loudly towards its target. The pilot moving his finger across the joystick lightly, knowing what his mission was. At the moment, knowledge of the operation was limited to twenty different people, but it would soon be known globally. As for the poor bastards the cargo was being delivered against, they should never know.
The pilot's finger hovered over the red button on the joystick. He flipped the cover off, and pressed the button. He then broke off immediately and turned around. He knew what he had done, and he didn't regret it in the slightest.

United States Marine Corps 4th Expeditionary Unit,
4,500 Feet above the American Beachhead
As the massive fleet of Marine helicopters flew above the shoreline, where an amphibious landing was taking place, the war now had an obvious beginning. For Nathaniel, this was a dream come true. Actual Combat! The man had spent the majority of his Marine years training, but had never had any actual combat experience. And here he was! In the back of a Huey, in a massive air assault on an island.
Suddenly, four of the CH-53's in the back of the formation began to descend followed by two other AH-1's. Next, four CH-46's broke off, two going left, two going right. Four of the the other eight Hueys broke off into different directions as well, with another assault helicopter forming the spearhead.
Nathaniel grinned as two Harriers flew by, bombing the guard post into oblivion below. The pilot told the crewchief they had ten minutes until landing, and relayed that to the Marines in the back. Nathaniel grabbed his M40 gas mask and put it on his head, and then his helmet, which was resting in his lap. He checked the action on his CAR-15, as well as the one on his M1911. He then loaded the M203 under the barrel of his rifle and gave a thumbs up to his squad leader. He was ready.
The Huey touched down next to another helicopter fulfilling the same purpose as a Cobra circled above. The Force Recon Marines assembled behind a cottage on the outskirts of the town. The platoon leader spoke, "Gentlemen," He began, "The assault on the beach is about to begin, and the Equestrians will either try to fall back, or reinforce themselves.
"Fortunately, we are in a perfect position to cut off the forces if they make an attempt at either. Remember, they will attempt to use potion first. They probably will use lethal force at some point, so if it's Royal Guard, shoot it. Oorah?"
"OORAH!!" The platoon echoed back eagerly. The Lieutenant smiled.

Awaiting United States Marine Corps Assault Battalion,
Central Stalliongrad,
Two Clicks From Planned American Rally Point Alpha
The battalion was certainly behind schedule, Nathaniel thought, recognizing they should have had the vehicles ashore by now. It didn't matter, the ponies were already parting like the Red Sea with the airstrikes at the beach head already underway. He was laying behind a pile of bricks, which provided more than adequate protection for him as he squeezed a couple of rounds off at the group that advanced on him.
They weren't doing much, but he knew better than to let his guard down, because he knew the second he did that, they would surprise him and beat him at his own game. He stood up and moved to better cover, and to keep up with his squad, which he was covering. He caught up with them quickly as they made their way to known waypoints.
"Psst!"
He stopped. Five seconds...
"Psst!"
Again, but more urgent this time. He looked to his right and saw a purple unicorn in a room gesturing him forward. Shit, he thought, He hadn't been told how to react to this type of thing. Instead of abandoning the pony, he pulled his VHF radio off his vest and called his squad leader.
The squad moved over to him and entered the house with him, after all, one of their primary objectives was to gather intelligence. So the stallion told the men about his involvement in the resistance, and where to contact other members, and who else would probably be willing to help out as well, which would certainly be useful for command on all sides of the war, and allow the commanders more freedom in carrying out acts that are questionable in terms of Geneva Convention, because while rebels are subject to Geneva Convention, these rebels were not under United Nation jurisdiction, causing a loophole which any JAG would have been quick to exploit under any means.
The squad then moved out, to regroup with their platoon. Upon regrouping, the men immediately began digging a defensive position at the rally point. A Huey flew in quickly, dropped a couple of crates with ammunition and equipment for building a proper defensive line at the soon-to-be FOB.

United States Marine Corps Assault Battalion,
Stalliongrad Beach Fortications,
Five Clicks From Rally Point Alpha,
The LAV-25's lead the landing, followed by AAV's and covered by helicopters. Within five minutes, the beach head was secure, with infantry immediately leaving their vehicles and hunting down fleeing Royal Guards. The soldiers immediately regrouped with their landing vehicles, as well as some of the soldiers who came in on the Super Stallion helicopters earlier. Off to the east and west, soldiers who arrived in Sea Knights secured nearby towns and villages, in order to maintain a supply line.
The next order of business was to disembark the Abrams tanks from the LCAC's, which took very little time. As the units rallied with their vehicles, they began to approach the rally point, which was completely ready to become the first FOB in the war.

That's it?
Why are they so damn short?
2343627 I had a long, busy month. There shall be more.
Also equestrians are not subject of the Geneva Convention, go chemical weapons!
2343797
Better: they made first use of chemical weapons. I'd imagine ponification potions count. Thus, since they started the war with the explicit intentions of using chemical weapons to commit genocide, they've basically ensured not one single fuck is given about how brutally they get defeated.
The Soviet assault is going to be even better
Show no mercy, comrades!
I expect some VDV to paratroop in the thousands into equestria, because come on this is Russia were talking about!
all thats missing is the 82nd airborn and the rangers. but keep this shit coming!
i spect the VDV with the awesome soviet marines
2226154 Don't forget about Lyra... Dem hands!

VDV, greetings from the sky! -unofficial VDV motto
Twilight's... in the resistance? something is messed up here. NOT the story, however. Twilight vs. Celestia would require Twilight having a REALLY good reason
I want Celestia to get her ass kicked
Good chapter.. and would someone mind telling me why my stuff is gold? I feel weird, but rich
2359569 April Fools, and everyone appears gold to themselves.

Being a Russian I think I could help author with the Russian stuff, like language, military and their equipment and the like.
