The Multinational Security Force was created in September 1982 at the Lebanese request to the Secretary General of the United Nations and dissolved in March 1984 following the double attack against the French and American contingents.

The night was restless, the attack on the Terrorist base of Deïr El Ahmar, was the theater of fierce combat (Fugu mission 9 "Night Raid").
The enemy losses are important but also on our side.
1 helicopter and its crew destroyed, 2 helicopters damaged. On the side of the Lebanese Air Force, 1 plane was shot down near the site.
The pilot has activated his distress beacon and you are the only helicopter available that knows the area. So, in the morning you are given the pilot recovery mission. A Gazelle reconnaissance helicopter equipped will intervene in reconnaissance (callsign: "cherry"). The eastern slope of the Lebanon Mountains remains an uncontrolled area.
The planned mission is to fly to the "crash site" which takes 15 minutes. Cherry will rampstart before you (Uzi free), Gazelle "Cherry" will fly to the zone without waiting you. Let it pass and, follow your flight plan.
The second part of the flight consists to patrol around the beacon signal of the pilot to spot him. This second part of the flight is done in hostile terrain, the eastern slope being "uncontrolled".
Reports point to phalanxes or militias equipped with small arms and heavy machine guns. The instructions are to open fire to defend yourself, the priority is the recue of the fighter pilot.
The flight consists of flying over the crash zone of the lebanese Jet, the pilot is hidded nearby and have a radio.
Combat search and rescue missions (ResCo) or Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) are search and rescue missions carried out in a combat zone, generally to recover downed pilots.
These missions require specific tactics and specially trained personnel, often from the special forces, as well as attack and combat helicopters or fire support aircraft.
When an aircraft is shot down in enemy territory, a rescue operation is launched. The first step is to locate the crew. To do this, it generally has a distress beacon to report. Reconnaissance planes or drones are sent on reconnaissance to determine the forces present and prepare the mission. It is generally established that a pilot ejected in hostile territory must be able to last 72 hours.
A first assault helicopter under the protection of a second helicopter, drops off a first commando group which will join and formally identify the people to be embarked. As soon as the first helicopter has taken to the air again, it lands in its turn and drops off the other commandos in charge of defending the area while waiting for the recovery of the crew by the first helicopter. Then the commandos still on the ground are recovered. Finally all the devices return to the base.
The instructions are to open fire to defend yourself, the priority is the rescue of the fighter pilot.
The flight consists of flying over the crash zone of the lebanese Jet, the pilot is hidded nearby and have a radio.
Follow your flight plan, and good flight.
About 1 hour to complete this mission, Combat in this mission !
The mission is successful if the 2 helicopters return to the parking 3 on the "Chekka base" safe and sound.
All infos are in the kneeboards.
