Situation Update:
On Day 20, our allied forces made significant progress in their mission to take control of Bandar Abbas City. Following a successful carpet bombing strike on the city's northern strongholds last night, the Marine Corps 4th Regiment advanced southward along the canal waterway towards the coast, while the 5th and 6th Regiments continued to advance towards the downtown area from the west and east sides of the city, respectively. Our main objective was to secure the entire city, as most of the coastal regions along the Hormuz Strait were already under our control, with the exception of the Bandar Abbas City area. The offensive push resumed on the morning of Day 20, with the 4th Regiment Bravo Company launching attacks from the northwest and northeast on the west side of the city. Simultaneously, the 5th Regiment Delta and Echo Companies attacked from the west, and the 6th Regiment Hotel and India Companies attacked from the east. To support the ground forces, dozens of Close Air Support (CAS) sorties were scheduled from both the Air Force and the Navy. These aircraft were stationed in the outer ring of the Bandar Abbas Operation Area and received tasking orders from the Specialized Air Support Operations Center (SASOC), codenamed "Battle Angel" with the callsign "Knight." This coordination allowed for effective air support, helping the ground forces clear the remaining defensive strongholds inside the city and advance towards the city hall square and command center. Capturing the city hall would be a symbolic blow to the city's defense while neutralizing the command center could effectively collapse the remaining defense forces. Although the weather had improved after a thunderstorm, broken clouds at 13,000 feet presented some challenges during CAS operations, as targeting pod views could be obstructed if aircraft flew too high. Thankfully, most of the AAAs in the open area have been destroyed by precise airstrikes before sunrise, allowing the aircraft to descend below the clouds. However, there were still threats from MANPADS, so pilots flying across the city had to exercise extra caution. In further support of our final offensive push on the ground, the CVN-71 StrikeGroup arranged a four twin-ship CAS flight package among its morning sorties, bolstering the air support for our allied ground forces. The combined efforts of our ground and air forces aimed to secure the city by sunset and achieve our ultimate goal of restoring free navigation in the Hormuz Strait.
