Deployment News and Intelligence Reports / News Article - U.S. troops open fire on civilians

ANIZAY NEWS
June 01st, 2025

U.S. troops open fire on civilians

Kelinga, Anizay - The U.S. military has returned to the Al-Anbar Governorate as part of Operation Dust Devil, and its opening salvo has already proven catastrophic for the people of Anizay, who had their first encounter with a U.S. convoy just this morning.

The image above shows the state of the daily vehicle of a reader of the Anizay News, who has requested to remain anonymous. This reader described the convoy as openly hostile to civilians and any civilian vehicles that dared to utilize their tax-paid public roads anywhere within 500 meters around the convoy, and freely opened fire without ever attempting to issue warnings via less-lethal methods. Anizay News has also received reports regarding a civilian shot and wounded within his own yard by the same convoy for unclear reasons.

U.S. troops had previously operated in the Al-Anbar Governorate in early 2024 during Operation Desert Fury, but mostly kept to the cities of Ramadi and Fallujah to the dismay of those cities’ populations and to the relief of Iraqis everywhere else. Per Western media outlets, the operation was allegedly a resounding success, yet Anizay has seen a sharp uptick in unrest and criminal activity in the recent months that can only be explained by the U.S. military’s failure to contain the militants from spreading.

Operation Dust Devil, therefore, is the U.S. military’s attempt to clean up their own mess. Only time can tell whether they’ll actually manage, or whether this operation will result in another, larger mess, but one thing is for sure: the people of Anizay will be in the the crossfire between two different kinds of terrorism for the foreseeable future.

Why do you want to rejoin the 506th?
Its been a good couple of years since after I stopped playing ArmA or do Milsim in general, currently I also do not own a PC and since PS5 gives the opportunity to play modded again, I was asked by a few current active members to come back, so here I am!

Intelligence Briefings / Operation DUST DEVIL Phase 01 - S-2 Briefing

Operation Dust Devil Phase 01-25 - TASK FORCE ALPHA

S-2 Tailored Intelligence Brief//01JUN25
//SECRET//

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Operation/Patrol Time:

0635 Charlie (UTC+3), 01JUN25

Weather/Forecast Information:

Current temp: 78 degrees F, 23% humidity, 0% precipitation, 18 mph wind speed.

Lighting/Visibility Factors:

0% cloud cover. Sunrise at 0553 and sunset at 1940.

Notice to Air Missions (NOTAMs) & Aviation Advisory Information

No militant faction is expected to possess anti-air capability at this time. No known BLUFOR or INDFOR flight missions have been logged over today's AO.

Theater/Strategic-level News & Intelligence Updates, Activity, and Analysis

As described in the intelligence packages that have been distributed over the last 48-72 hours, despite U.S. forces achieving a conventional victory over the Sons of Al-Karbouli through Operation Desert Fury in early 2024, the Iraqi government has failed to provide a solution to the grievances of the Sunni population and regain legitimacy and control over the Al-Anbar Governorate, particularly the Anizay region. As a result, remnants of the SoAK have splintered into at least 5 known militant factions that have been covertly working to undermine the Iraqi government and stir unrest, until the UN convoy ambush 2 days ago.

The goal of Operation Dust Devil is now to contain and destroy these splinter factions, known and unknown, and restore stability to the region via both strength of arms and political avenues. Civilian support, especially of the Sunni population, is therefore paramount to the success of this deployment.

Local/Tactical-level News & Intelligence Updates, Activity, and Analysis

The recent ambush on a UN convoy near COP Morgan suggests the most dominant militant faction currently within the sector - if not the entire region - is the Swords of Tarhid, with tactical and technical support from the Al-Fulisan Brigade. The SoT are ISIS affiliated, suspected to have connections to local religious authorities, and are themselves religious extremists, while the AFB are ex-military, and have tactical and IED technical expertise. Other factions may or may not be present in today's AO.

All troopers must be cognizant of opportunities to gather intelligence regarding all known and unknown militant factions, and submit them via the Found Intelligence Reports system. Intelligence is especially important in COIN, and the outcome of this deployment may just rely on the efforts of a single man or woman with a keen eye.

Special Info/Patrol Objective-specific Intelligence

Alis Oil, like almost all oil reserves in Iraq, is owned by the Iraqi government. U.S. forces are advised to keep a tight leash on explosive ordinances in and around the vicinity of the oil reserve and any other notable infrastructure.
