Due to fears of a Sudanese invasion of Egypt, the government has decided to implement a first strike policy and launch our own offensive into Sudan to cripple their military capabilities and safeguard Egypt’s national security. The operation would begin with a large scale aerial campaign, with reconnaissance helicopters, UAVs and aircraft deployed to gather information of enemy positions, forces, infrastructure and other key targets. In addition, Egyptian reconnaissance satellites are utilised to identify and aid with gathering intelligence on Sudanese military movements, and other targets. Once targets have been identified, F-16 Fighting Falcons scrambled to bombard these targets to rubble, with the first priority going to enemy airfields. Our first strike should be able to destroy or damage the airfields of the Sudanese Air Force, crippling their air power and giving us air superiority in the skies. Grounded planes are to be targeted and eliminated, while hangers, runways and control towers are to be bombarded in order to destroy them, and thus wiping out the majority of the Sudanese Air Force on the ground. Any remnants are to be engaged afterwards and systematically wiped out. Once air superiority is achieved, the air force would be tasked with destroying command centres, logistics hubs and communications facilities in order to cut off and severely limit communications between forces in the sudanese army. We would aim to eliminate the top leadership through targeting known command centres and such. Third priority would go to military positions, such as armouries, barracks and gathering points, where aircraft would strafe or unload munitions to destroy these targets. Moving on to the land assault, a combined arms force consisting of armoured tanks and vehicles, infantry units as well as artillery units in the rear for support. In addition, attack and reconnaissance helicopters and UAVs are deployed in tandem with the ground forces to enhance intelligence gathering and reconnaissance capabilities of the ground force, as well as eliminate strong points and bunkers to support the ground force. We would advance alone the Nile to the primary target of the operation, Khartoum. Enemy forces that are encountered along the way are to be rapidly destroyed through combined attacks, with air strikes ordered to blow open bunkers and strongpoints before infantry move in to clean up what is left. Once Khartoum is taken, our forces are to split into two groups, one to advance down the Blue Nile and the other to advance along the White Nile, where the majority of Sudan’s population resides. Constant air support and reconnaissance should enable us to systematically target and destroy any military resistance, with reserves deployed to garrison the various cities and maintain civil order until the war concludes. Once the region has fallen, we’d reconsolidate our forces and begin the advance into the Darfur region, where we’d aim to engage and destroy the last remaining forces of the Sudanese army and consolidate total victory over Sudan.
