OPERATION YETI
SCENARIO
Norway´s resources of natural gas up in the North Cape area are vital for Norway´s economy and future survival. One of the largest facilities is in Hammerfest.
Nato has issued Norway to work out an immediate defense plan for the most northern parts of the country, insisting on ground troops and saying that NAF (Norwegian Airforce) is not capable of protecting their facilities only from the air.
Satellite images have shown for the past eight months an increase of arctic and sub-arctic activity from eastern forces which probably has influenced Nato´s request to Norway.
Norway as a Nato country is now hosting a military exercise near the Russian border. Sweden is joining in to evaluate its Nato member ship and assist with their long experience of sub arctic warfare. Nato command sees Rangers as the only possible operational units in the rough arctic environment. Now they want to test their theory.
Nato wants to know how this border area best can be protected from an invading enemy. Therefore a large co-op exercise is set up. Other Nato countries are ordered to send in their Ranger units for more arctic environment training incase Nato would need to assist Norway in the defense of the arctic.
The maneuver has come to Russia’s attention and was condemned immediately. A counter exercise was set up by the Russians on their own side of the border. Cross border observations were made by Swedish units already in place, before Nato, confirming An-124 airdrops of both troops and material.
Swedish units also confirm the find of cross border ski tracks in the southern parts of the border, ending up in major speculations and investigations. Rough weathers wiped out the tracks unfortunate for the follow up. Nato says that civilian activity in these areas are very,very rare. Soldiers believe that Eastern Forces are operating over the borders and have done so for a long time to map the area. After the finding of cross border tracks Norway airdropped a large amount of live ammunition to their exercising troops.
