SRPA Intelligence Memorandum 5

Subject: Chimeran Attacks Increasing Along Coasts

14-Sept-52

''In the past months spire attacks have increased along both coasts. Large sections of all coastal states are now gray zones, and the Chimeran continue to build infrastructure at these locations. The Chimeran strategy has been to target the least defended high populations areas along the border of the country, establish infrastructure and command units inside that area, then leaping to the nearest area of high density civilian population. It also appears they now have an understanding of U.S. military defense strategy and defense weaknesses that they had not previously exhibited. SRPA intelligence believe that these new tactics are a direct result of the Chimera coming under full command and control of Daedalus. They believe it is essential that we approach our defensive strategy with the knowledge that we are fighting against a general who understands and can exploit any weakness we have. Locating and assaulting Daedalus remains the top priority of all Sentinels teams.''
