Domino Effect

Domino Effect is the fourth playable mission of the 2019 Spring Offensive story arc.

Background
Coalition Forces move to secure Diyala Airfield, deemed necessary to support their assault on Fallujah. Predicting this, the Buhriz Movement attempts to delay their advance. Coalition Forces bring to bear as many companies as possible to take the Airfield, and Task Force Badger is deployed to secure a flank.

Air defenses in the area prohibit Coalition Forces from bringing in air assets without running into high risk of being shot down, and the Buhriz Movement enjoy air superiority in the area.

Summary
Task Force Badger arrives to secure warehouses in the region, believed to hold Buhriz Movement supplies. Mi-8s circle the AO, being deployed from the airfield. The Mi-8s deploy troops before moving to drop barrel bombs on Task Force Badger. The Mi-8s are either shot down by SPAAG and ground fire or return to base.

The warehouses are secured by Task Force Badger, but stray rocket rounds detonate one of the warehouse buildings. A counterattack is repelled and the Buhriz Movement falls back to the Airfield to defend the area.

Task Force Badger is tasked to flank and destroy a logistics base instead. The base is successfully flanked and destroyed, while the Coalition advances on the Airfield.
