CH716: Frogmen in Sigma District
Horus's Marine Corps' mandate in the Syrian war was primarily to capture and secure the Latakia port and shoreline. Fighting on the ground in Latakia or Northern Syria wasn't part of its job. The Corps had its hand full tackling the Somali Pirates terrorising the Gulf of Aden and the greater Indian Ocean regions.
The Corps pulled back most of its troops after the port was securely under its control, only leaving the bare minimum to secure the area. This also meant most of the more than sixty Frogmen deployed to attack the Latakia port were called back.
There were only about fifteen Frogmen left in the country to help with operations in the country.
These fifteen Frogmen were tasked by Command to eliminate the hostile leaders of the group holding the Sigma district to make way for the friendly leaders who would hand over control of the district to the PMC with as minimal fighting as possible.
