OPERATION DEALMAKER IS AUTHORIZED BY THE O5 COUNCIL TO USE THE NECESSARY ACTION IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE MASQUERADE IS UPHELD. THE ETHICS COMMITTEE WILL OVERSEE THE TREATMENT OF CAPTURED ANOMALOUS INSTANCES IN BETWEEN THE INSTANCE’S CAPTURE AND CONTAINMENT.
The primary objective of Operation Dealmaker was to eliminate the SCP-#### resistance against the Foundation. Secondary objectives of the operation were to recover any missing Foundation personnel, and to capture any SCP-#### instances for further research. Mobile Task Force Nu-7 “Hammer Down” was transferred to take part of Dealmaker. The task force’s gunship squadron was deployed to provide close air support for ground forces.
Operation Dealmaker began on 2/██/2019, hereby referred to as Day One. The minimum objective of a Day is to push the frontlines up to a point where the logistics can provide ample support. The following days of the operation will continue with the strategy up until the operation reaches the end on the island. It is expected that the MTF forces would reach the capital within Day Five. A simultaneous ground and amphibious assault on the capital was also planned. It is expected that there will still be remaining pockets of SCP-#### left following the end of the operation. A squad of MTF will be left on the island to clear out the surviving pockets.
Day One of Dealmaker saw MTF decimating SCP-####’s forces. Due to the reliance on short-ranged, handheld weapons, most of the SCP-#### forces could only effectively combat MTF units in hand-to-hand combat. Most of the MTF managed to hold the instances further from 70 meters from their own positions. Approximately 1000+ SCP-#### casualties were documented on Day One. Operation Dealmaker finalized it’s push against SCP-#### at a river.

November-2: You guys Delta?
Delta-3: We’re it.
November-2: There’s a truck to the South to take you back to the FOB. We’ll take it from here.
(The remainders of Delta head North to board the truck, as November-2 starts digging in their position to prepare for the counterattack. )
<ENG LOG>
SCP-####’s counterattack on Day Two caused Operation Dealmaker’s assault on the capital to be postponed, due to the sudden threat SCP-#### now posed. The attack on Day Two showed that SCP-#### apparently gained access to firearms and body armor, and fully equipped all of it’s soldiers, despite the fact that SCP-#### held no industries capable of producing firearms or the logistics to fully arm and train it’s army within.
Following Day Two, MTF were cleared to use with more extreme measures if necessary, due to the increasing threat SCP-####’s defenses were to the Foundation. SCP-#### began employing guerrilla tactics against MTF squads, with several villages attacking MTF units, usually resulting in the destruction of the village.
Reconnaissance spotted a significant element of instances inside a salient, the movement appearing to be preparing for an assault to encircle the MTF’s position. Command acted on the intelligence and readied a counter-push. An MTF squad was to clear a village, and then towards a small staging ground that was supplying the intended assault. The squad was to destroy it and to be reinforced by other squads, creating an encirclement against SCP-####. Bravo Squad was the vanguard of the counter-push. A gunship, Spectre-3, was requisitioned to provide support for the squad. Omega squad was to rendezvous with Bravo to complete the encirclement.

Audio log ####-16 was received from Bravo Squad during Day Three of the operation.
Squad Leader: Bravo-L
Squad Members: Bravo-1,-2,-3,-4,-5
<BEGIN LOG>
Bravo-L: Were the orders clear, because we’re not going to baby you through the whole mission?
Bravo-3: Clear, sir.
Bravo-5: Clear.
Bravo-2: Clear.
Command: Bravo, a gunship is inbound to provide you support. E.T.A. 3 minutes. You have the greenlight.
Bravo-L: Command, Bravo receives. (to team) Let’s do this.
(Bravo heads towards their first objective, passing by several corpses)
Bravo-4: Got visual on the village.
Bravo-1: Contact, next to the campfire.
Bravo-5: -3, get on that hill to provide overwatch.
Bravo-2: The whole fuckin’ place is crawling with them.
Bravo-L: Shut the fuck up, or get off the radio!
Bravo-3: There’s a whole lot of them inside the house to the North.
Bravo-4: I see more in the one to the East.
Bravo-L: How many you see?
Bravo-3: Probably two squads?
Bravo-1: There’s only a single one in the window of the Southern house.
Bravo-L: Bravo-2, -4 and -5, head to the North side of the village. Bravo-1, tell the gunship to open fire.
Bravo-1: Spectre-3, Bravo is requesting a fire mission on the village. Target the Southern building.
Command: Does the village contain only combatants?
Bravo-3: I don’t see civvies.
Bravo-1: Negative, Command. No civilians spotted.
Command: Spectre-3, you are cleared to engage.
Spectre-3: Four HE’s inbound. (pause) One hit. Two hit. Three hit. Four.
Bravo-3: Good effect on target. They’re making a run for it to the North.
Bravo-L: Bravo-2, -4 and -5, intercept them. We’re heading for you.
(Bravo-4 spots the entities laying down their weapons, deserting them on the ground next to them)
Bravo-2: Bravo Leader, they’re surrendering.
Bravo-L: -2, start digging a hole and put all their guns in it. Then throw a thermite into it. (to Command) We might need a containment team here.
Command: We have a team just a klick away. Continue on your missio—
Bravo-4: What the hell?! Bravo Leader, -5 just shot of the SCP’s.
Bravo-5: He didn’t give up his gun.
Bravo-1: Then just fucking take it from him!
Bravo-L: Bravo-2, dig that hole now, and get rid of the guns!
Command: Bravo, you’re on a timetable. We need to have the FOB destroyed in a few hours.
Bravo-L: Bravo receives. (to squad) Bravo-4, head to the center of the village, with the prisoners, and wait for the containment team. Everyone else, dig up that hole.
(Bravo regroups in the ruins of the village, while Bravo-4 heads back into the village with the captured entities. )
Bravo-L: Bravo-5, you should have just taken the fucking gun.
Bravo-5: I know. Alright. Every single one of the fuckers dropped their guns, but him—
Bravo-L: Then stick to the rules! We fucking contain these. We don’t kill every single one of them. That’s what the GOC is for!
Bravo-2: We wouldn’t even be deployed here if the GOC was in control. They’d just nuke the place.
Bravo-1: Then just cover it up, saying that it was a test.
Bravo-3: Beats having to fight through this god forsaken jungle.
(Bravo finishes shoveling the hole. )
Bravo-L: Alright. Throw the weapons in there, while I go get a thermite.
(The firearms SCP-#### used are thrown into the hole, where they were destroyed. Bravo begins walking towards the next objective for 5 minutes. )
Spectre-3: Bravo, Omega is currently in a firefight against SCP-####. Command’s telling you that you’re gonna have to double time it now.
Bravo-L: Bravo, copies. (to squad) Double time it, let’s go!
(Bravo reach a small ridge overlooking the FOB. )
Bravo-L: Spectre-3, stay 200 meters from the FOB. Bravo-3, do you see anything in there?
Bravo-3: Seems like most of the SCP’s have gone to ambush Omega. The place just got a skeleton crew.
Bravo-L: Bravo-2, and -1 head to the North of the FOB and stay in the tree line. On my signal, suppress the whole base with your fire.
Bravo-1: We’re moving.
Bravo-L: Bravo-3, stay here and support -1 and -2. Bravo-5, you’re sticking with me. We’re heading down to that observation post.
Bravo-3: Several logies entering the base.
Bravo-L: Spectre-3, do you see the logies in the North.
Spectre-3: We see them.
Bravo-L: Command, commencing the assault now. (to Spectre-3) Spectre, hit those logies!
Spectre-3: TOW’s out. (pause) Target destroyed.
Bravo-L: Hit ‘em hard!
(Bravo-1 and -2 provide suppressing fire on the base, as Bravo-3 provides sniper support. )
Bravo-3: -2 and -1’s got their bloody attention.
Bravo-L: Bravo-5, let’s go. Search for an SCP that can work a radio.
(Bravo-L and -5 enter the base through a trench, as SCP-#### rushes for Bravo-2 and -1’s position. )
Bravo-5: Found one!
Bravo-L: Check him for weapons, then get him to a radio and tell him to recall the other SCP‘s fighting Omega.
Bravo-5: (to the entity) Do you know about your friends fighting our guys to the East? I’m gonna have to have you call your friends, and tell them to come back.
(The captured SCP-#### operates a radio, and contacts the ambush party)
SCP-####: There’s an attack on the base. Forget the ambush and head back here immediately.
SCP-####: (over radio) We’ve got them pinned! This was our last chance!
SCP-####: There’s an attack on the base, now! Head back here!
SCP-####: (over radio) If we fail, make sure you survive the end of it.
SCP-####: (to Bravo-L) It’s done.
Bravo-L: Stay here, and never leave. You leave, your dead. (to Bravo-5) Come on. We’re not done yet.
Bravo-2: Bravo Leader, they’re holed up in that bunker. But Bravo-1’s dead.
Bravo-5: Is there a way around to it? Bravo-3 respond.
Bravo-3: The trench you used to get inside the base is connected to the observation post. It’s lead you to the bunker.
Bravo-L: Bravo-5, get that grenade from that pile. Then follow me in the trench. Bravo-3, get some fire in that bunker. Make sure they don’t look our way.
(Bravo-L and -5 enter the trench, crawling in it towards the bunker. )
Bravo-5: Shit! Fuc—
(gunshot)
Bravo-L: (grabs the grenade from Bravo-1’s possession. ) Bunker’s gone in five seconds.
(The bunker explodes as fragments of clothing and debris fly out from the slits. Gunfire stops. )
Bravo-2: Check for medical, I think -1’s still breathing.
Bravo-L: Bravo-3, get down here and check the bunker for survivors.
Command: Bravo Actual, be advised, the SCP’s attacking Omega have turned tails. Omega’s requesting to have Spectre-3 tasked to them.
Bravo-L: Command, we’re gonna go dig in here. Send Spectre-3 out to Omega.
Command: Copy, Bravo Actual. (pause) Spectre-3 will now prioritize orders from Omega.
Bravo-L: We might also need a medic. We’re down two men.
Bravo-2: Bravo Leader, I’ve got half a mag left. We’ve run low on ammo.
Bravo-L: Find if the dead got any ammo on them for your rifles. If not, take their rifle, and place your weapons in the bunker. Also, watch your fire to the Northwest, anybody who comes out from there could be Omega.

Unofficially called, “The Bloodiest Day for the Foundation”, the pocket was bombed with incendiary bombs while MTF held against SCP-#### attacks attempting to break the pocket. After 12 hours, the remaining instances surrendered to MTF units, numbering 221 in total. While MTF was clearing a village inside the pocket, PoI-3187 was discovered in one of the houses, severely dehydrated. Several captured documents in the village say that diplomatic party has been moved several days prior to recovery.
MTF After Action Report ####-C-09
SCP Involved: SCP-####
MTF Involved: MTF Nu-7/Alpha Squad, SCPS Hood MTF complement
Date: 2/██/2019
Location: ████, designated as the capital city of SCP-####
Preamble: The engagement was part of Operation Dealmaker in order to eliminate SCP-####’s resistance against the Foundation. The capital was the last remaining SCP-#### stronghold, and held multiple critical and valuable intelligence needed for further research into SCP-####. The Foundation planned to bomb the city with Z2-██, a potent, but treatable chemical agent, and have Nu-7’s CBRN platoon capture the surviving instances. However, a reconnaissance mission discovered that the capital was now defended with SAM sites, causing Foundation strategists to cancel the planned bombing.
Force Composition: A diversionary force, designated Alpha squad, numbering 12 troops, total. A platoon-strength force, designated Romeo, numbering 41 troops, total. 5 AH-64 Apache attack helicopters, designated Overlord-1 to -5. SCPS Hood, a Foundation frigate, to be used as a staging ground for Romeo. 2 Westland Lynx transport helicopters, to be used to deploy and extract Alpha. 3 LCM-8 mechanized landing craft to transport Romeo. Required crew members and technical staff included.
Objectives: The priority objective is the destruction, or the disabling of the SAM sites. In order to achieve this, Alpha was designated as the diversionary force. Romeo would have the task of eliminating the sites. The secondary objective is

[9:26AM] Alpha reports that some of the SCP-#### force attacking them, have now been recalled to defend the city. Romeo was notified of this.
[9:43AM] Romeo captures the targeted government building, and tasks a squad to search for assigned documents.
[9:49AM] Romeo ambushes an armored vehicle column. Several civilian SCP-####’s in nearby houses begin surrendering to MTF.
[10:26AM] Alpha reports that several SCP-####’s have begun to surrender to the unit. However, due to the unit’s limited capability, as well as the concurrent firefight, they were forced to abandon the capitulated instances.
[10:29AM] Romeo reports that they have secured the designated documents.
[10:34AM] Romeo destroys a SAM site. The site’s crew members surrendered to the unit.
[11:36AM] Romeo reports that all SAM sites have now been destroyed, with all crew members either terminated or surrendered. Romeo begins to retreat to their transports.
