The Norwegians are still in the fight, but it is doubtful for how long. The enemy has followed up their first wave of attacks with the deployment of not one, but two, very large carrier battle groups. Intel indicates that both Kuznetsov and Varyag have put to sea, together with a large number of escorts, including nuclear powered battlecruisers and ASW carriers. At least one of these CVBGs is expected to bolster the beachhead in Norway, while the other may threaten Iceland or even the North Atlantic. Arrayed against the gathering Russian storm cloud, the US Navy has advanced a two pronged defence. The Mobile Offshore Base Mitchel has forward deployed to a large fjord in eastern Greenland, together with a modified Air Expeditionary Wing. The Wing will have its hands full in defending against the two Russian CVBGs and in supporting our counter-attack. And, in the south, we are pushing ahead with a plan to retake Norway. A PHIBGRU has been rapidly assembled and is now heading north for the Gap. It is critical that the group successfully reach its objective. (Released September 2002). Click here to download this file
