Another Force Recon element callsign Sabre Team, had been compromised and were pinned down by insurgents near the coast. Razor opted to demolish the outpost with satchel charges instead.Īfter Pusta, Razor Team began moving to their extraction point but were redirected to head for the peak of the nearby mountain of Pik Kozlova. Razor Team relayed this information back to the MEU's commander and recommended that the airstrike be called off, since there was no way to evacuate the villagers and avoid collateral damage. Those that were not "spared" by the ChDKZ were killed off and buried in a mass grave outside the village. To their disgust, they discovered that the ChDKZ were torturing the inhabitants and had even executed unarmed Chernarussian soldiers being treated by the village doctor. Swiftly and silently, Razor Team cut their way through the village and easily decimated Pusta's paltry garrison of insurgents. In the early hours of October 8th, Cooper's team boarded their transport and were flown to a landing zone on the outskirts of Pusta. To disrupt the ChDKZ's line of communications, it had to be identified and laser marked for an airstrike. Their target was a ChDKZ communications outpost hidden somewhere inside the village. While listening to the commander of the 27th give a rallying speech to the Marines aboard the USS Khe Sanh, Cooper's team is brought in by Force Recon commander Captain Shaftoe for a quick briefing on their upcoming mission.Īlongside several other Force Recon teams, Razor were to infiltrate the mountain village of Pusta near the regional capital of Chernogorsk. Tomorrow morning you will step from your landing craft and do what Marines were born to do! They, on the other hand, will wish they'd picked a country without a shoreline. Home to around 3,000,000 native Chernarussians and some 800,000 ethnic Russian settlers. Just a few miles to the north lies the small country of Chernarus. Spearheading the ground assault are the MEU's elite Force Reconnaissance fireteams, with callsign Razor Team, led by First Sergeant Patrick Miles and Master Sergeant Matthew Cooper, notably being at the forefront of the MEU's offensive. The Marines of the 27th Marine Expeditionary Unit (27th MEU) have spent the last four days preparing for their invasion, codenamed Operation Harvest Red. Pro-Russian separatists known as the " Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star" or "ChDKZ" for short, have executed the incumbent Prime Minister of Chernarus and overrun the province. At the request of the Chernarussian government-in-exile, the United States has been authorised to dispatch intervention forces to the region of South Zagoria in north-eastern Chernarus.
