SCENARIO 1
The Battle of the Maldives
Until recently, most Americans had never heard of the Republic of
the Maldives. This nation, consisting of 1,087 tiny islands (atolls)-
only 200 of which are inhabited-stretches 600 miles on a north-south
axis in the central Indian Ocean. The northernmost of the 19 major
atolls in the Maldives is only 250 miles from the southern tip oflndia;
the southernmost atoll is about 400 miles distant from Diego Garcia,
the US Navy's only permanent base in the Indian Ocean. The Mal-
dives' population is only about 160,000, almost all of whom are Sunni
Muslims. The country's economy, based almost entirely on fishing, is
extremely poor.
The Maldives became a British protectorate in 1887, but gained
independence in 1965. However, an RAF airfield on Addu Atoll re-
mained operational until1976. Since that time, the government of the
Maldives has made several unsuccessful attempts to strengthen the
nation's economy by encouraging Indian tourists to take their vaca-
tions there.
Although the Indian government has made it clear that it would
not tolerate foreign interference in the Maldives, it did nothing when
Russian diplomats approached Maldivian President Maumoon Abdul
Gayoom last year concerning a massive Russian economic assistance
package in exchange for use of two airfields in the Maldives. Under
pressure from the United States, Gayoom turned the Russians down,
but was toppled from power only three weeks later by a Russian-sup-
ported coup led by an Islamic fundamentalist group named "Maldi-
vian Jihad." The new Maldivian president subsequently invited the
Russians to lease the two airfields. Still, the Indian government did
nothing.
Six weeks ago, another coup took place, this one secretly sponsored
by the CIA. President Gayoom was restored to power and most mem-
bers of the Maldivian Jihad in the capital city of Male were rounded
up and executed. Gayoom promptly expelled all Russian diplomats
and invited the United States to establish military bases on several
different islands in the Maldives. Three weeks ago, 200 members of a
US Navy construction battalion arrived on Male Island to begin im-
provement work on nearby Hulule airfield. Only a week ago, US Ma-
rine Corps squadron VMA-231, flying AV-8B VSTOL aircraft, deployed
to Hulule. A few days later, a detachment of US Navy P-3C Orion pa-
trol aircraft from squadron VP-22 also deployed to the airfield.
After a year of silence concerning the Maldives issue, the Indian
Prime Minister has suddenly demanded that all US military person-
nel leave the Maldives at once. "India is firmly committed to main-
taining the Indian Ocean as a zone of peace," he declared. "We cannot
tolerate American nuclear weapons only 200 miles from our coast."
The American Secretary of State has responded by saying that Amer-
ican troops will not leave unless firm assurances are given that the
Russians will not be permitted to interfere in the internal affairs of
the Maldives again.
The Indian Prime Minister has called the commander of the In-
dian Navy's Southern Fleet to New Delhi, ordering him to conduct air
strikes against Hulule if the Americans do not depart within the next
48 hours. Furthermore, the Southern Fleet has been directed to block-
ade Male Atoll and prevent seaborne reinforcement and resupply of
the American airfield. Although the Indian admiral has privately
called the Prime Minister's action "madness," he is reluctantly
preparing his naval and air forces to execute the plan.

submarines are supporting the surface forces.
Destroy or damage the US airfield on Male Atoll. In addi-
tion, destroy as many US units as possible.
SCENARIO 2
Russian Raiders
The blissful years of glasnost and perestroika are history. Several
weeks ago, the Russian Army invaded Lithuania following the
Lithuanian government's refusal to take steps to protect the rights of
ethnic Russians residing in that country. Although media reports are
sketchy, outright civil war has apparently broken out throughout the
Baltic States, pitting old hard-line communists against poorly armed
but numerous nationalist forces. Meanwhile, the Russians are de-
ploying troops to the Baltic States despite the vociferous objections of
the President of the United States, who has called for a United Na-
tions resolution condemning foreign military intervention in that re-
gion. Relations between the United States and Russia have sunk to
their lowest point since the Cold War.
Last week an unidentified submarine (thought to be Cuban) ap-
proached a Panamanian merchant ship in the Caribbean and, ac-
cording to some witnesses, fired two torpedoes. A Seahawk helicopter
from a US Navy frigate was dispatched to the area and dropped two
Mark 46 ASW torpedoes at the submarine. Contact with the target
was soon lost. No wreckage was spotted, so the submarine presum-
ably escaped.
Two days later, the President of Russia angrily announced that a
Russian Navy ballistic missile submarine of the giant Typhoon class
on routine patrol had been sunk by the US Navy off the coast of Cuba.
The entire crew of 180 was lost. The Russian President vehemently
denied that the submarine, which had recently reverted to its old So-
viet Navy name of Leninskiy Komsomol, had attacked the Panaman-
ian ship, claiming that submarines of that class do not even carry
anti-surface torpedoes. Comparing the incident to the shoot-down of
an Iranian airliner by the USS Vincennes in July 1988, the Russian
leader has demanded American reparations.
In secret session in the Kremlin, the Russian President has or-
dered the Russian Navy's Indian Ocean squadron to retaliate against
the United States by attacking American merchant shipping along
the critical Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf shipping lanes.
US Navy intelligence officers have only recently learned of the
Russian scheme and have informed the President of the United
States. The Chief of Naval Operations has recommended that all
American merchant ships in the Indian Ocean should promptly form
into convoys for mutual protection. Meanwhile, a significant force of
US Navy surface combatants is proceeding as rapidly as possible to
the theater to protect American shipping.

Several unescorted convoys, consisting of a mixture of
empty and full supertankers, freighters, and fast container-

Navy surface action groups are sailing to the aid of the con-
voys. One group of four frigates, known as the "Middle East
Force," is replenishing in Raysut, Oman. Another group of five
surface combatants from the 7th Fleet in the Pacific is cur-
rently located in the West Indian Ocean zone. A powerful
group of five warships, including the battleship USS New Jer-
sey, is sailing off the coast of Kenya. Two submarines are cur-
rently deployed to the region. One squadron of P-3C recon-
naissance aircraft at Diego Garcia is supporting the operation.

SCENARIO 3
Battle ol the Arabian Sea
Civil unrest in Ethiopia has been a fact oflife for the past half-cen-
tury, but in recent months insurgencies in the two northernmost
provinces, Eritrea and Tigre, have taken a sharp turn for the worse.
The secessionist Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) seized the
Red Sea port of Assab ten weeks ago, destroying government and
army warehouses, communications stations, and port facilities. Dur-
ing the fighting in Assab, several dozen Russian sailors, whose ship
was dispatched to the port as a show of support for the Marxist
Ethiopian government, were captured and executed by the EPLF. The
Russians promptly deployed two naval infantry battalions and an air-
borne regiment to Assab. After ferocious fighting, the city was recap-
tured in less than a week. Russian Air Force combat aircraft stationed
in nearby Yemen are conducting daily bombing strikes against the
EPLF guerrillas.
After the Russian intervention in Assab, the surviving EPLF guer-
rilla groups retreated southward over the border, seeking sanctuary
in neighboring Djibouti. The Russians then demanded passage over
the border to hunt down the partisans. When the Djiboutian govern-
ment denied permission, Russian and Ethiopian ground troops in-
vaded Djibouti.
Although the EPLF is nominally a Marxist organization, its lead-
ers have actively sought western aid. Furthermore, Djibouti-a for-
mer French protectorate-quickly requested French military assis-
tance as soon as foreign troops crossed its borders. Assistance was
not long in coming, for a squadron of French Mirage Fl fighters sta-
tioned in Djibouti has already engaged Russian aircraft in Djibout-
ian airspace. Moreover, the President of France has dispatched a
naval task force to the Gulf of Aden with orders to help preserve the
territorial integrity of Djibouti against Russian aggression. The
President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Great
Britain are fully supportive of the French policy and have directed
major naval forces to enter the Gulf of Aden. The American and
British task force commanders have orders to establish firm control
over the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea to prevent reinforcement
and resupply of Ethiopian-Russian forces currently engaged in Er-
itrea and Djibouti.
Russian Navy headquarters in Aden has been instructed by
Moscow to close the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden to foreign shipping but
to refrain from initiating a naval engagement if at all possible. How-
ever, two days ago a French Mirage attacked and sunk a Russian
merchant ship in the Red Sea which was carrying provisions for Russ-
ian troops in Djibouti. Yesterday, the Russian President declared that
he considered a state of war to exist between his country and the
west. He has ordered his Indian Ocean fleet to interdict the western
sea lanes leading to the oil-rich regions of the Persian Gulf.
Faced with a possible blockage of their precious oil supplies from
the Middle East at the hands of the Russian Navy, western political
leaders are meeting at a secret conference in Paris. Here they have
unanimously agreed that Russian military power in the region must
be neutralized.

SCENARIO 4
Carrier Raid
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and America's triumph
in the Persian Gulf War of 1991, few American political leaders felt
any need to preserve the great military machine that had been metic-
ulously built up in the Reagan-Bush years. Although during Bill Clin-
ton's presidency there seemed to be near-universal agreement on
Capitol Hill that America needed sufficient military strength to be ca-
pable of waging two medium-sized regional conflicts simultaneously,
once America's military drawdown gained momentum in the mid-
1990's it continued beyond anyone's expectations. By the time Clin-
ton's successor took over the White House in 1997, few could refute
the fact that the American military would be hard-pressed to wage
even one moderate-sized regional conflict.
Thus, when the United States came to the aid of South Korea upon
the outbreak of the Second Korean War in 1999, it committed virtu-
ally its entire military resources to that conflict. Much to the alarm of
its western allies, America's military commitments in other world
hotspots-particularly the Persian Gulf and Latin America-were al-
most completely abandoned. The Joint Chiefs of Staff rationalized
this policy by declaring that once the Korean War was won, America
would again shoulder its former global military responsibilities.
But amid the recent euphoria triggered by America's decisive de-
feat of the North Korean People's Army, few worried about the conse-
quences of military power vacuums in other areas of the world. Fur-
thermore, no one could predict that China and Russia would reach a
secret military pact that would take advantage of America's new
global military posture. Thus, when the Chinese Army crossed the
Yalu in force and came to the aid of the North Koreans last month-
just as they had done nearly half a century ago-it came as a great
shock to the administration in Washington. Just at the point when
American forces were ready to pull out of Korea, the United States
has now found itself involved in a costly military stalemate that has
sucked in almost all of America's military resources.
Although the Russians are not directly participating in the Second
Korean War, they are providing the North Koreans and Chinese with
large amounts of military hardware. Of more concern to American
military strategists, however, is the Russian military buildup in the
Middle East and Persian Gulf. Major Russian military bases and air-
fields have been constructed in Ethiopia, Yemen, Somalia, and on the
island of Socotra. In the past month the Russians have begun to de-
ploy long-range attack aircraft at these bases whose only purpose can
be to interrupt the flow of oil between the Persian Gulf and the west.
Suspecting that a surprise Russian strike on the major oil fields
and supertankers within the Persian Gulf is about to take place, the
American Joint Chiefs of Staff have decided to take a dramatic step
which could risk widening the conflict from a regional war to a world
war. According to the Joint Chiefs, a blockage of the oil flow out of the
Gulf would cause the American effort in Korea to collapse. Therefore,
in a special meeting with the President, they have recommended pre-
emptive strikes against Russian military bases and warships in the
western Indian Ocean. A US Navy carrier battle group, currently sail-
ing from Norfolk to Korea around the Cape of Good Hope, is in good
position to execute these strikes. The President has concurred. The
operation is about to begin.

SCENARIO 5
Locate and Destroy
It was the greatest intelligence coup in American history. For
years the CIA had fostered a "special relationship" with a Russian of-
ficial in the very highest reaches of the Kremlin, but had rarely re-
ceived information of any value. Several months ago, however, this
person had made a few vague promises to American agents about
handing over some documents which would "change forever the way
America views Russia". The American agents were of course in-
trigued. When the Russian official finally dropped the papers into CIA
hands, it was a shock to see how little America knew about the true
workings of the Russian government in the post-Cold War world.
The documents reveal-beyond a shadow of a doubt-that a vio-
lently anti-American faction in the Russian government is exerting
far more influence in international affairs than was thought possible.
Dozens of Russian officials, including members of President Yeltsin's
cabinet, are members of this cabal, and Yeltsin himself apparently
knows nothing of its existence. Over the years, the conspirators have
maintained the lowest possible profile, but have established close con-
tacts with the Russian military, defense industry, and the scientific
community. The plotters are pulling strings beyond the scenes in
preparation for a "silent coup" at the right place and the right time.
It came as a surprise to American intelligence officials that the
conspirators are actually controlling the movement of Russian army
and navy units and ordering the procurement of new military hard-
ware without Yeltsin's knowledge. But by far the most disturbing rev-
elation was that the Russian plotters are actively sponsoring inter-
national terrorism directed at Israel and the west and are using the
Russian military to support this effort. Even worse, the Russians
have apparently made it clear to terrorists and Third World enemies
of the west that they would make sufficient quantities of plutonium
available as long as the terrorists direct their attacks at places and
times of the Russians' choosing.
Among the documents handed over to the CIA is one dated only
eight days ago. It reveals that the infamous Iraqi terrorist "Yoosef the
Terrible" and several members of his terrorist group are currently on-
board the Russian cruiser Ushakov somewhere in the Indian Ocean.
Yoosefis the most wanted terrorist in the world, and is thought to have
masterminded the torture and execution of hundreds of Kuwaitis dur-
ing the Gulf War as well as plotting to kill ex-President George Bush
during his visit to Kuwait in 1993. Even more disturbing is the fact
that the Ushakov is carrying an undetermined amount of plutonium
which will supposedly be dropped off at a port somewhere within the
Indian Ocean region for later delivery to Iraq. CIA intelligence ana-
lysts believe that the port will be in either India, Iran, or Yemen.
Upon learning of this startling intelligence, the President of the
United States has issued immediate orders to the Commander-in-
ChiefCentral Command (CINCCENT): "locate and sink the Ushakov
whatever the cost".

SCENARIO 6
Convoy Battles
Tensions between the United States and Russia have been extra-
ordinarily high since the Russian invasion of the Ukraine and Poland
six weeks ago. United States military forces are being deployed to
Germany in numbers even greater than during the Cold War years.
The Russian President has declared this step "an act of war against
the Russian people," and has ordered Russian Navy submarines in
the Atlantic to sink American transports en route to Europe. For the
Russians, this campaign has been remarkably successful, as over
twenty-five American warships and merchant vessels have been sunk
in the past week. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have recommended to the
President of the United States that the movement of troops to Ger-
many be halted for the time being.
Unfortunately, one of the vessels sunk by a Russian submarine
three days ago was the P&O Line's Island Princess, a 1,200-passen-
ger cruise liner en route to Bermuda. In this repeat of the 1915 Lusi-
tania incident, a great many American and Canadian civilians lost
their lives. The American public is clamoring for retribution. Yester-
day, US Air Force F-117 Stealth fighters and B-1 bombers launched
raids against Soviet submarine bases near Murmansk. Claiming over
1,000 civilian casualties, the Russian President has called the raids
the "act of demented fascist warmongers". In an exclusive interview
with the CBS Evening News, the Russian leader declared, "This act
cannot go unpunished. The Americans will now feel the wrath of the
Russian people".
Moscow has decided to hit America where it hurts: in the Persian
Gulf and Indian Ocean. One Russian submarine wolfpack from the
Northern Fleet, consisting offour submarines, has been dispatched to
the Gulf of Oman to attack western supertankers entering and leav-
ing the Persian Gulf. Another wolfpack of six nuclear and three diesel
submarines from the Pacific Fleet has been deployed to the eastern
Indian Ocean to attack tankers transiting the vital Strait of Malacca
and to interdict the US Navy's supply line between the Pacific and its
critical base at Diego Garcia. More than a dozen supertankers and an
equal number US Navy supply ships are currently in this region, so
the Russian submarine captains have more than enough lucrative
targets.
However, the US Navy has not been caught by surprise. Intelli-
gence officers have accurately predicted the areas to which Russian
submarines are transiting and have warned the Chief of Naval Oper-
ations in the Pentagon. The CNO has hastily established a new fleet
with responsibility for the entire Indian Ocean region. It has been
designated the "5th Fleet" in honor of the World War Two fleet that
served with distinction in the Pacific under the command of Admiral
Raymond A. Spruance. The 5th Fleet's first mission is to ensure the
safety of merchant shipping in the eastern Indian Ocean.
Player
Several American supertankers are heading for the Strait
of Malacca. In addition, four large convoys of merchant ships
and US Navy supply vessels are sailing for Diego Garcia with
critical supplies for the US Navy base there. Six surface ac-
tion groups, including one from the Royal Australian Navy,
are in position to escort these convoys to their destinations.
Two US Navy submarines are also on station within there-
gion. Two US Navy P-3C reconnaissance squadrons are de-
ployed to Diego Garcia. An Australian P-3C squadron is sta-
tioned at Banda Aceh airfield on the western tip of Sumatra.
US slow convoys (SC), fast convoys (FC), oilers (AO), am-
munition ships (AE), and supply ships (AOR) must reach
Diego Garcia. US full tankers (FT) must reach the Strait of

SCENARIO 7
Action in the Bay of Bengal
India and Indonesia have gone to war over the disputed Andaman
and Nicobar Islands, an archipelago in the Bay of Bengal stretching
almost 600 miles on a north-south axis between the western tip of In-
donesia and the southern coast of Myanmar (formerly Burma). India
currently owns both island chains, but as the majority of the island
residents are non-Indian, Indonesia had called upon India to imple-
ment a plebiscite for the islanders to determine their own future.
After India's rejection of this proposal five weeks ago, the government
of Indonesia began to expel thousands of persons of Indian descent
currently residing in Indonesia. Moreover, CNN reported that hun-
dreds of Indians were being massacred in the towns and cities of
western Sumatra.
The Indian government declared that the expulsion of Indian na-
tionals from Indonesia was "an act of war", and began to mobilize its
armed forces. Over the past two weeks air and ground reinforcements
have streamed into the Andamans and Nicobars to fortify the islands
against a possible Indonesian attack. Furthermore, the newly elected
fascist government of Russia has offered full military support to India
in the current crisis in exchange for free Russian use of Indian mili-
tary bases in the Andamans and Nicobars after the war.
In the United States, senior CIA officials have declared to the
President that the Russians must not be permitted to establish a
strong military presence in this region because they would then con-
trol the western approaches to the vital Strait of Malacca. This strait
is one of the busiest bodies of water in the world, and through it flows
virtually all the oil imported by Japan from the Persian Gulf. Block-
age of this strait, the CIA insists, would cripple the Japanese economy
which would in turn trigger a disastrous economic collapse in North
America and Europe. The President, who is vitally concerned with
improving his shockingly low approval rating, has determined to
make a tough stand against the Russians. During a nationally tele-
vised speech, he has evoked the spirit of John F. Kennedy in the
Cuban Missile Crisis and George Bush in the Persian Gulf War, de-
claring that the new fascist Russian government "must not push the
United States too far".
With over 150 million people, Indonesia is the world's fifth most
populous country, but most Americans have virtually no knowledge of
this archipelago nation. From both liberal and conservative circles in
the United States, there has been an outcry that no vital American in-
terests are at stake in this remote region of the world. Nevertheless,
the President is determined not to back down. Should the Russians
persist in participating in the war between India and Indonesia, the
President has ordered the Commander-in-Chief, Central Command
(CINCCENT) to deploy naval and air forces to the eastern Indian
Ocean in sufficient strength to crush Russian military power in that
region once and for all.

SCENARIO 8
Convoys to Iran
Six weeks ago, Russian ground forces, with the assistance of the
Serbian (formerly Yugoslav) Army, launched a surprise invasion of
Bosnia, Slovenia, and Croatia. Despite vigorous debate in the United
Nations, no action was taken by the Security Council except for a
mildly worded resolution condemning human rights violations com-
mitted by both sides in the Balkans. In Brussels, the NATO powers
have gathered to discuss the feasibility of a military response, but
there is little enthusiasm for joining a Balkans war which could con-
ceivably last for a decade. Even so, the President of the United States
has ordered the Joint Chiefs of Staff to commit more than 150,000
American soldiers and airmen to Germany.
To draw American attention away from the Balkans, the Russians
have planned a diversionary political campaign in the Indian Ocean
and Persian Gulf. Moscow has just concluded a military alliance with
Indonesia and has strongly supported Indonesia's claim to the An-
daman and Nicobar Islands, currently held by India. The Russians
have committed much of their naval strength to the Indian Ocean re-
gion with the full knowledge that the Americans would become con-
cerned about the supposed threat to the Persian Gulf shipping lanes.
Furthermore, the Russians have engineered a coup in Iran, top-
pling the twenty-year reign of the Islamic clerics. The violently anti-
American Tudeh party has assumed power. With Iranian hatred for
the United States at a fever-pitch even before the coup, the Russians
found it simple enough to initiate Iranian attacks against European
and American shipping in the Persian Gulf. According to Moscow,
each American tank and warship drawn to the Middle East will be
one less force that will be capable of influencing the Balkans struggle.
The Russian-sponsored coup in Iran has caused the President of
the United States to commit most of his rapid deployment forces to
Iran to ensure free shipping passage through the vital Strait of Hor-
muz. The 82nd Airborne and lOlst Air Assault Divisions have seized
the Iranian port ofBandar 'Abbas on the northern shore of the strait,
and thousands of pro-American Iranians have fled their homes to the
American enclave there. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have organized a
massive sealift to the Persian Gulfto provide logistical support for the
troops at Bandar 'Abbas. Furthermore, two US Navy amphibious
ready groups (ARG), carrying the equivalent of nearly a brigade of US
Marines, are sailing for the Gulf to reinforce the American enclave.
The Prime Minister of Great Britain has offered support to the Pres-
ident, and has dispatched a Royal Navy task force to the region.
The President of Russia has ordered his Indian Ocean fleet to es-
tablish a blockade of the Persian Gulf, thereby closing the only life-
line for the American troops in Iran. Should the Russians succeed in
this campaign, it will be a humiliating defeat for the US Navy.

SCENARIO 9
Indian Ocean Sideshow
The recent controversy concerning the construction of nuclear
bombs by North Korea has suddenly erupted into war following a sur-
prise attack across the 38th Parallel by the North Korean People's
Army. Reports from the front are sketchy, but the North Koreans are
apparently making a massive effort to rupture the South Korean line
north of Seoul. US Army troops from the 2nd Infantry Division are al-
ready heavily engaged, and the President of the United States has or-
dered fresh American ground and air forces to deploy to South Korea.
Meanwhile, the US Navy has initiated a blockade of the North Ko-
rean coast.
In the United Nations, the Russian ambassador has claimed that
more than 200 Russian sailors were killed when the US Navy sank
three Russian freighters outside Wonsan. The commander of the
American 7th Fleet, however, has declared that the "freighters" were
actually Russian Grisha class corvettes escorting North Korean ves-
sels to the Russian port of Vladivostok. According to the official Amer-
ican account, the Russian warships fired at and shot down two US
Navy F-18C's which were attacking the North Korean ships. A later
wave ofF -18's attacked and sank all three Russian vessels.
A hawkish faction within the Kremlin has recommended that
Russian naval forces throughout the world take punitive measures
against American warships and seaborne commerce. Perceiving the
American sensitivity about maintaining the freedom of the seas in the
Persian Gulf over the past two decades, the Russian president has di-
rected Russian naval and air forces to harass American shipping in
the Indian Ocean region, particularly in the Gulf.
Western European nations have declared their neutrality in the
Korean conflict and, in fact, have openly criticized Washington's deci-
sion to fully mobilize American Reserve and National Guard forces.
Although most European oil originates in the Persian Gulf, European
leaders have refused to send naval forces into the Indian Ocean to
protect the sea lanes against potential Russian attacks. Said the
President of France at a news conference: "America is no longer the
world's policeman, and US escalatory action in the Indian Ocean is
only provoking a Russian response. If we leave them alone, the Rus-
sians will simply not bother us".
Even as the French President spoke, a Russian Tu-26 Backfire
bomber was launching AS-4 Kitchen air-to-surface missiles against
the French supertanker Ile-de-France in the Strait of Hormuz. The
Second Korean War had rapidly grown into a world war.
With no allied navies available and much of America's seapower
committed to the North Korean blockade, the US Navy's 5th Fleet
must stand alone in the Indian Ocean for at least the next two weeks
against the Russians. In private, congressmen are warning the Pres-
ident that a quick naval victory in the Indian Ocean is of paramount
importance, for the American public will not tolerate a protracted war
on two fronts.
: Green Player
A large US Navy carrier battle group is escorting an am-
phibious ready group in the Arabian Sea. A Marine expedi-
tionary unit is embarked onboard the "amphibs." A surface ac-
tion group, including the refurbished battleship USS Mis-
souri, is located about 600 miles northeast of Diego Garcia.
Four submarines are also deployed in the theater. Several
convoys of tankers, maritime prepositioning ships, freighters,
and US Navy supply ships are scattered over the region. Until
recently these unescorted convoys were highly vulnerable to
enemy attack, but at the insistence of the Chief of Naval Op-
erations, many US Navy frigates were wisely diverted from
the Pacific to the Indian Ocean and have recently joined the
merchant ships as escorts. There are also two squadrons of
American minesweepers in and near the Persian Gulf. Within
the theater are four US Navy P-3C reconnaissance squadrons:
two at Diego Garcia, one at Masirah, and another in Mom-
basa. The last surviving B-52G squadron in the US Air Force
has been hastily deployed to Diego Garcia. An Air Force com-
posite wing, including a squadron of new F-22A fighters, has
just transferred from the United States to the AI Muharraq
airfield in Bahrain, accompanied by an F-15C squadron which
has deployed to nearby Abu Dhabi. Elements of a US Marine
Corps air wing are stationed at the Salalah airfield on the
Arabian Sea coast of Oman, and another Marine fighter
squadron and an Air Force F -117 A Stealth fighter squadron

SCENARIO 10
The Indian Ocean War
It all began in December 1997 in the Crimea. The breakup of the
Soviet Union in the early 1990's had triggered many major political
disputes between the old Soviet republics, but none as vitriolic as the
crisis between Russia and the Ukraine over control of the former
Black Sea Fleet at Sevastopol. Over the years several attempts had
been made to defuse the powder keg, leaving neither government sat-
isfied. Then, shortly before Christmas in 1997, the charismatic
Crimean nationalist, Yuri Meshkov, took matters into his own hands
by ordering the Crimean militia to seize all former Soviet Navy ships
at Sevastopol currently under Ukrainian control.
The President of the Ukraine, Leonid Kravchuk, responded imme-
diately, directing the Ukrainian Army to reseize the warships. A fierce
struggle ensued in Sevastopol between the Ukrainians and Meshkov's
Crimeans, resulting in high casualties on both sides. Right-wing
Russian nationalists in Moscow urged Boris Yeltsin, the President of
Russia, to support the Crimean nationalists with arms and ammuni-
tion-and even troops. Despite Yeltsin's condemnation of the Ukrain-
ian attack on Sevastopol, he stopped short of actively supporting
Meshkov's Crimean nationalists.
Yeltsin's failure to act in the Crimea was the last straw for the
hard-line right-wing faction in Moscow. With the Russian economy in
a shambles and Yeltsin's popularity among the Russian people at an
all-time low, the fascist leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky found it remark-
ably easy to stage a bloodless coup and oust Yeltsin and his few re-
maining government loyalists. Much to the delight of the Russian
people, Yeltsin fled Moscow for America, and for six or seven weeks
was a frequent guest on the American daytime TV talk show circuit.
He then passed into history.
Under Zhirinovsky, the Russian armed forces underwent a com-
plete renaissance. Eighteen months after the coup, the Russian mili-
tary was again a formidable fighting force with international power
projection capabilities equal to the height of the former communist
regime. On CNN, Zhirinovsky guaranteed that the "Russian people
will gain the greatness that they richly deserve in the 21st century,
and Russians will dominate the world for the next thousand years as
Rome dominated the world two thousand years ago". In Russia, Zhiri-
novsky is now more popular than any leader in recent Russian history.
Altering its traditional focus on Europe, Russia has concentrated
much of its attention on the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Early
this year the Russians signed a twenty-year military alliance with
India. Under the provisions of this treaty, the Russians are to provide
India with vast quantities of new military equipment, and both coun-
tries have agreed to come to each other's aid in the event that either
is attacked.
The new Russian diplomacy has been remarkably successful. After
a decade of instability within Mghanistan following the Soviet with-
drawal in 1988, the Russian Army invaded Mghanistan again in far
greater strength-and with far greater ruthlessness-than before.
After the closing of the Mghanistan-Pakistan border and the subse-
quent defeat of the meager Mghan guerrilla forces, Zhirinovsky re-
cently installed a puppet government in Kabul.
Meanwhile, Zhirinovsky has made a major diplomatic effort to win
over the Middle East. Following the overthrow ofthe Iranian mullahs
in a populist revolution last year, Iran was thrown into chaos. Al-
though the vast majority of the populace regarded the United States
and the west with favor, the pro-Russian Tudeh party ruthlessly elim-
inated opposition leaders and intimidated voters. Openly supported
by Russian arms and covertly aided by former agents of the KGB, the
Tudeh group eventually emerged as Iran's strongest faction. Th help
maintain control over an unsupportive Iranian populace, the Tudeh
leaders recently invited the Russians to establish military bases in
Iran. Of course, this was just the opportunity Zhirinovsky was wait-
ing for, and Russian ground and air forces rapidly occupied the north-
ern two-thirds of the country.
Zhirinovsky has also taken advantage of a similar political situa-
tion in Yemen, which had been in chaos ever since the 1994 civil war
between the socialist-oriented southern region and the religiously
conservative north. The Russians have used their support of the south
as an excuse to establish a major military presence in the Gulf of
Aden. Indeed, they have just completed new naval and air bases at
Aden, Al Mukalla, and on Socotra island.
Much to the Russians' surprise, the United States and western Eu-
ropean powers have reacted decisively to Russian intervention in
Mghanistan and the Middle East. American rapid deployment forces
have been sea-lifted and air-lifted to southern Iran to support the pro-
western factions within that country. Furthermore, the President of
the United States has declared that any Russian attempt to interfere
with international shipping in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz
will be considered an act of war. The British and French governments
have actively supported the President, and significant US, British,
and French naval forces are now deployed throughout the Indian
Ocean region. For the President, the security of the supply line be-
tween the American forces in Iran and their distant supply bases is of
paramount importance. The nearest American supply base, Diego
Garcia, is over 2,500 miles away by sea from the Persian Gulf.
Following a dramatic three-week diplomatic showdown in the
United Nations between Russia and the west, during which no mili-
tary action between the two sides took place, the situation took a
sharp turn for the worse when Indian military forces suddenly in-
vaded Pakistan and decisively defeated the Pakistani Army in the
opening battles of the war. Furthermore, the Indian Navy imple-
mented a tight blockade of Pakistani ports to prevent American re-
placement of destroyed or captured Pakistani military equipment.
According to the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, a major Pakistani defeat
would be catastrophic to American Middle East policy. Even before
the Indo-Pakistani war, the US and western European navies fre-
quently used Pakistani port facilities due to their proximity to the
Persian Gulf. The loss of these facilities would significantly hamper
naval operations in the western Indian Ocean. Even worse, Indian
seizure of key Pakistani military bases could conceivably result in
Russian use of Pakistani airfields, an event which would in all likeli-
hood make the American military position in the Persian Gulf unten-
able. Therefore, despite the Indian blockade, the President of the
United States has ordered the deployment of a US Marine division to
Pakistan to protect the key port and air facilities on the Arabian Sea.
The President and his European allies, however, were unprepared
for Russia's next move. Claiming that America's direct support of Pak-
istan amounted to an act of war against Russia's firmest ally, India,
the Russian President has ordered the Russian army of occupation in
Afghanistan to invade Pakistan from the north. Furthermore, Russ-
ian naval forces in the Indian Ocean have been heavily reinforced and
placed in a high state of readiness should the United States and its al-
lies decide to respond militarily-a response considered highly un-
likely by Moscow.
The President has labeled the Russian invasion of Pakistan a "de-
spicable stab in the back-an act that will not be permitted to stand".
The President's senior advisors, however, have warned him that an
escalatory step by the United States would result in war between the
superpowers. With the American military of the late 1990's so unpre-
pared for global conflict, the President's options are limited. However,
against the advice of many members of the National Security Coun-
cil, the President has decided to commit every military force at his dis-
posal to the Indian Ocean region. It is a gamble, but the President's
firm hope is that war, should it occur, will be short and confined to the
Indian Ocean.
The green player has one Royal Navy, one French Navy,
and three US Navy carrier battle groups in the Indian Ocean.
The US Navy's Lincoln carrier group, currently situated in
the Gulf of Oman, is accompanied by the refurbished battle-
ship USS Missouri and is escorting an amphibious ready
group (ARG) of five amphibious assault ships with US
Marines onboard. The Washington carrier group, situated in
the eastern Indian Ocean, is escorting another ARG. A third
ARG is located at the American base at Diego Garcia along
with an assortment of US Navy frigates, destroyers, maritime
prepositioning ships, an ammunition ship and an oiler. Also at
Diego Garcia is a combined US Air Force-US Navy air wing,
consisting of a B-52G squadron, an F -15C squadron, and two
P-3C reconnaissance squadrons.
In the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea, the navies and air
forces of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Pak-
istan, and the United Arab Emirates are actively supporting
the western powers in the campaign and have given permis-
sion for American and British air units to operate from their
airfields. In the western Indian Ocean, the allies have estab-
lished airfields at Victoria (in the Seychelles), Mombasa (in
Kenya), and at Djibouti. A US Marine Corps air wing and a
US Air Force fighter squadron are deployed at the American
enclave in Bandar 'Abbas, Iran. Nearby, at Bandar-e Lengeh,
are two US Navy supply ships, a minesweeper group, and two
frigates. Several escorted and unescorted convoys of American
supertankers and freighters are scattered over the region,
sailing as quickly as possible for friendly waters. The Indone-
sian government is allowing the allies to use the Banda Aceh
airfield at the western tip of Sumatra. A US Air Force com-
posite fighter wing has deployed there, accompanied by Amer-
ican and Australian P-3C reconnaissance squadrons. Just off
the western tip of Sumatra is a US Navy underway replen-
ishment group (URG), consisting of three supply ships and
four escorts. Finally, fifteen American, British, French, Aus-
tralian, and Pakistani submarines are currently on patrols in
the Indian Ocean.

Yemen, Ethiopia, and Iran have offered the services oftheir
air forces and navies to the Russians. Furthermore, in Yemen
the Russians have established major airfields at Aden, Al
Mukalla, and on Socotra island. In Iran, the Russians have
deployed several long-range attack, fighter, and support
squadrons at Esfahan, Yazd, Zahedan, and Kerman. In the
eastern Indian Ocean, the Indian government has given per-
mission for Russian aircraft to operate from airfields in the

Memory Notes for DOS 6. 0 or Higher Users
Beyond the Minimum Memory Requirement guides, we strongly recommend that you not have unneeded TSRs active while pl ay-
ing 5TH FLEET. This will help free up more memory for the program. To find the amount and type of memory you have available, type
MEM/C/P at the DOS prompt. Here is an example (DOS 6.22):
Modules using memory below 1 MB:

To see how much free conventional memory
you have, look at the "Largest executable pro-
gram size" line. To see how much EMS memory
you have, look at the "Free Expanded " line.
5TH FLEET is compatible with most common
memory managers, including HIMEM.SYS,
EMM386, QEMM, and 386MAX.
Make sure you have configured your machine
to have EMS memory available. The two "DE-
VICE" lines in your CONFIG.SYS file should
look something like this:
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE 1024 RAM
For example, if you had 8MB of total RAM on
your system, you would have 6.9 MB of EMS
memory avai lable set up by EMM386.
For further information on how to configure
your XMS/EMS memory usage, please consult
your DOS Manual, or your Memory Manager's
Manual.
5TH FLEET has an automatic sound card detect ion routine. Once you have completed the installation process, you start up the game using
the FLEET.EXE fi le. The game wi ll ask if you have a SoundBiaster compatible card. Click on "yes" or "no" accordi ngly. If "yes" is se-
lected, the auto-detection routine wi ll execute, search for, and adj ust 5TH FLEET to your sound card. If "no" is selected, the game wi!J ex-
ecute and bypass the sound detection routi ne. If you decide to use a sound card later, delete the fi le "FLEET.PRF'. Then, restart 5TH FLEET
and click on "yes" at the sound card prompt. If you encounter problems wi th sound effects, SoundBlaster owners should check the
BLASTER setti ngs, and Gravis users should check the ULTRASND settings in AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Installing from a CD:
If you own the CD version of 5TH FLEET, you can install the game to your hard drive. This method is recommended for best results.
5TH FLEET can also be played from the CD itself (although this method wi ll not resul t in optimal game play).

1. Log onto your CD drive, type D: then press [ENTER].
2. At the prompt, type INSTALL then press [ENTER].
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the install ati on.
To play 5TH FLEET from the CD:
1. Log onto your CD drive, type D: then press [ENTER]
2. Type in FLEET, press [ENTER] and the game begins.
Having Memory Problems or Hardware Conflicts?
... &Peate a Boot Disk!
1. You will need a 3'/z" blank, high-density floppy disk.
2. You must be in DOS at the "C:/>" prompt.
3. Change directories to DOS by typing CD DOS and press [ENTER].
4. At the "DOS" prompt type FORMAT A:/S and press [ENTER]. This will format the blank disk as a Systems Disk (or, in other words, a
"Boot Disk").
5. Now follow the on-screen prompts. Once the formatting process is complete press theN key (to tell the computer you do not want to for-
mat another disk) [ENTER].
6. At the "DOS" prompt type A: and press [ENTER] .
7. At the "A:/>" prompt type EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT and press [ENTER].
8. You should now see a blank (probably blue) screen which is the DOS Editor screen.
9. Use the blinking cursor to type the following lines:
PROMPT $P$G [ENTER]
PATH C:\DOS; [ENTER]
LH C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE [ENTER]
(NOTE: leave a blank line here for your mouse driver; just press:} [ENTER]
C: [ENTER]
CD C:\FLEET [ENTER]
FLEET
10. After typing the above lines, use your mouse to click on the "FILE" pull-down menu and select "SAVE".
11. Once saved, use the "FILE" pull-down menu, select "EXIT" to return to the "A:/>" prompt.
12. At the "A:/>" prompt type EDIT CONFIG.SYS [ENTER]. You should now see the same blank (blue) screen.
13. Using the same methods of step 9 (above), type the following lines:
DEVlCE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS [ENTER]
DEV1CE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 1024 RAM I=B000-B7FF [ENTER]
DOS=IDGH, UMB [ENTER]
FCBS=4,0 [ENTER]
STACKS=9,256 [ENTER]
BUFFERS = 30,0 [ENTER]
FILES= 40,0 [ENTER]
SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS /E:512/P
{NOTE: the following line isn't necessary if you haven't compressed your hard drive}
DEVICEIDGH=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE [ENTER]
14. After typing the above lines, use your mouse to click on the "FILE" pull-down menu and select "SAVE".
15. Once saved, use the "FILE" pull-down menu, select "EXIT" to return to the "A: />" prompt.
16. You must now change drives (from your "floppy drive" to your "hard drive") by typing C: [ENTER] , then type CD\ [ENTER] .
17. At the "C:/>" prompt type EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT [ENTER]. This allows you to look at the "AUTOEXEC.BAT" file on your hard
drive.
18. You should now see a larger version of the "AUTOEXEC.BAT' file than the one you created on your Boot Disk. Look for a line (or lines)
that have anything to do with the word "mouse".
19. Once thi s line(s) is located, carefully write it down on a sheet of scrap paper character-for-character, just the way you see it on the screen.
20. Once you have this information copied down, use the "FILE" pull-down menu to select "EXIT". Don't save any changes if the com-
puter prompts you to.
21. At the "C:/>" prompt type A: [ENTER] to switch back to your floppy drive.
22. At the "A:/>" prompt type EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT [ENTER]. You should now see the "AUTOEXEC.BAT" file that you created pre-
viously.
23. Insert the blinking cursor at the beginning of the third (blank) line.
24. Now type in the mouse info line(s) that you copied down on the sheet of paper. Don't forget to press the [ENTER] key if you need an-
other blank line. Ensure that the lines read exactly as you copied them down.
25. Next, use your mouse to click on the "FILE" pull-down menu and select "SAVE". Once saved, again use the "FILE" pull-down menu, se-
lect "EXIT' to return to the "A:!>" prompt.
You have now created a Boot Disk for 5TH FLEET Now, whenever you want to play the game. just insert this Boot Disk and reboot your system (or turn the computer on).
NOTE: If you have a Sound Card, you'll need to follow the same steps on how to install your Mouse Driver. Just replace the "mouse" line(s) with the three to four "sound" lines.
