This vital entrance to the
Persian Gulf is held by local
Middle Eastern Coalition forces
who have established a strong
defensive presence on the
scattered islands of the
waterway. For the United States
Rapid Deployment force to clear
the waterway they must first
deploy air assets to disable a
key Middle Eastern Coalition
power station, after which the
US force must enter the channel
and capture the islands defended
by these determined Middle
Eastern Coalition fighters.
