Gun Runner 2

AFTER ACTION REPORT (AAR)

AO: The Compound
Event: Gun Runner 2
Faction: Smugglers
Camo: Tan
Date: June 28–29, 2025

Overview:

Gun Runner 2 saw the Milibois split into two elements: Ground Force and Vehicle Crew (SCOOT). The operation was a coordinated effort between mobility, logistics, and tactical positioning, with notable engagements and objectives completed throughout the AO.

Phase 1 – Initial Deployment:

StartEx began with SCOOT (the vehicle crew) pushing toward Alpha CP to secure it as a Mobile Command Point.
Once a defensive perimeter was established, SCOOT moved down North Road to block enemy advances and reinforce Alpha CP.

Simultaneously, the Ground Force, led by RAK-12, executed a push towards the town as the spearhead of the Smuggler offensive. During this push, they successfully captured a Radio Tower, enabling full communications access for the Smugglers faction.

Phase 2 – Coordination & Resupply:

After holding North Road for nearly 2 hours, Ground Force linked up with SCOOT.
SCOOT swapped positions with a Warmongers-run vehicle and returned to Alpha CP due to low fuel and ammo.
Ground Force remained at the second Radio Tower to secure the area.

Upon rearming and refueling, SCOOT regrouped with the remaining Milibois elements and received a new tasking.

Phase 3 – Political Escort Mission:

The mission involved escorting a local politician through multiple stops for media coverage.
SCOOT led the convoy into town, set up a defensive line, while Ground Force held the central town area.
The politician was escorted to three uncontested locations, and a fourth contested location at a downed helo.
ERT launched a sudden attack on the helo location, resulting in a heavy firefight. Despite the engagement, the politician secured the necessary photos and was safely extracted to his HQ.

Phase 4 – Plane Prop Search & Black Box Retrieval:

Later in the evening, Milibois were tasked with assisting PL in recovering two aircraft propellers.
After 45 minutes of searching under constant enemy drone surveillance, the final part was located.
The plane parts and pilot were transported to the downed helo site, where the black box was successfully recovered.

Phase 5 – Final Push & Negotiations:

For most of the operation, SCOOT was dedicated to defending Alpha CP, denying ERT the ability to spawn on-field.
In the final hour, both SCOOT and Ground Force pushed into town to allow Command Staff to meet with the Mayor and negotiate the surrender of ERT forces.

Assessment:

Cons:

SCOOT’s main gun malfunctioned midway through the event.
MGL was ineffective with TAGG shells.
Command experienced radio issues, especially early in the operation.

Pros:

PRC-152 radios were highly effective across the entire operation.
TAGG shells and launchers successfully neutralized multiple enemy vehicles.
RAK-12 provided excellent leadership and coordination of Ground Force movements.
Milibois were awarded MVP as a team for their outstanding performance and impact on the mission.

Conclusion:

Gun Runner 2 was a major success for the Smugglers faction. The coordination between SCOOT and Ground Force, despite equipment issues and contested objectives, demonstrated the Milibois’ tactical strength, adaptability, and teamwork. Each objective was completed with precision, and the faction’s strategic goals were met.
