Operation: Deliverance

Operation Deliverance was a U.S. Army Ranger military operation to deliver troops and supplies to British Resistance Command in their war against the Chimera, in exchange for the Angel. The landing zone selected was York.

Upon reaching the North Sea, the US fleet deployed aerial surveillance craft over the British coast. No signs of human or animal life were detected and, unable to establish radio contact with British Forces, the US fleet began Operation: Deliverance.

The plan failed before it began, however, as a large Chimera force had been led to York by the Cloven, and as such the Chimera held the entire city and were prepared for an attack. So when the U/AV-17 VTOLs carrying the 3rd Ranger Regiment to deliver them into the city and secure a forward landing site in York, the flight is almost completely destroyed by "surprise" Chimeran anti-aircraft fire. Despite this, a second wave is launched to salvage the Operation. Sgt. Nathan Hale and the 1st Ranger Regiment flew into York, and soon a pitched battle ensued.

With air support wiped out and whole groups of troops being cut down, a small collection led by Captain Winters attempted to secure a landing zone in a bus depot, and, with Hale's timely assistance, the plan succeeded...until Chimeran Spires were launched and overran the surviving U.S. forces. Operation Deliverance had failed.
