United Nations Interim Force In Syria
Peacekeeping Operation Conoco
In a significant policy shift, the United Kingdom has announced a temporary withdrawal from CJTF-OIR to focus on humanitarian missions. Unverified rumors suggest that UK officials have grown wary of continuing joint operations with U.S. forces due to a lack of trust in American decision-making on the ground. The United States has officially announced the conclusion of Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR), citing mission success in countering ISIS. As operations transition to a UN-led peacekeeping effort, US forces have begun a phased withdrawal but will continue to maintain a strategic presence in the region to support allied forces and protect national interests.
At 0900 a cruise missile strike devastated UN Base Conoco, resulting in 24 dead, 7 wounded, and a complete communication blackout, leaving the status of survivors unknown. The strikeโs origin remains uncertain. Meanwhile, UN checkpoints across the region are overwhelmed, struggling to hold against unknown hostile elements, and the UNFIS Commissioner is trapped at UN Post Sierra, unable to evacuate due to the deteriorating security situation.
With UN forces stretched thin and no reinforcements available, an urgent distress call has been issued to any coalition or peacekeeping units in the area for immediate assistance. Hostile forces are highly active, potentially fielding armored units and indirect fire capabilities, making any relief or extraction efforts high-risk. The window for action is closing, and any delay could result in further UN casualties or the complete loss of key installations and personnel. Immediate response is critical.
