0100H, April 8 Report from the CO, TF Devastation To: CIC, AFOH (Admiral of the Navy Homemade) CC: CIC, Carolinian Imperial Navy (Admiral of the Navy Reed) RE: Operation Cohort (Phase) 1:

1. Supported Carolinian drive inland with air strikes and 460mm ER (extended range) munitions. Carolinian aggressiveness and morale from field commanders all the way down to rank and file seem to be high. Also, extensive Carolinian intelligence network provided our planners with exact coordinates that enabled pinpoint air and artillery strikes on Federation targets. Air losses, however, were heavy at 30%. Request immediate replacement of aircraft and pilots.

2. TF currently on hover mode 5 miles from shoreline. With the rapid Carolinian build-up onshore, we expect them to launch the 2nd phase of their offensive soon. Their armored patrols have penetrated 40 miles inland, and have rescued many of our downed airmen. This will bring us as well to Phase 2 of Operation Cohort, with the TF conducting operations over land to provide the needed air support. The AN Devastation will advance behind the frontline at an altitude of 8000 feet, while the 3 aero-destroyers will provide top cover at 12000 to 24000 feet. The Carolinians have also stepped up their construction of airfields for their own aircraft.

3. It seems that the Federation forces in this area have been directed to shore up their central and northern fronts due to the main Carolinian offensive and the Hydraxis attack from Alaska. If so, then we expect the momentum of the Carolinian southern pincer to be irresistible and will result in the encirclement and destruction of Federation forces in California.
