In response to this act of aggression and a broader wave of terrorist activity across the region, the United Nations Security Council has authorized a multinational military operation to dismantle Hezbollah's operational capabilities. Rules of engagement are strict: collateral damage must be avoided at all costs — no further civilian casualties are permissible. Operation Iron Tide is a dynamically evolving campaign in which the player is tasked with planning and commanding missions of the entire air component of the operation. The air assets under the player’s command include two squadrons of F-14B(U), two squadrons of F-14B Tomcats and F/A-18C Hornets from two carrier strike groups, as well as two Marine Corps Hornet squadrons operating from a land-based airfield. At their discretion, the player may participate in missions as the flight lead of any squadron, flying either the Tomcat or the Hornet. As the player, you will plan missions for your assigned squadrons with the strategic objectives of the operation in mind.

Your tactical and strategic decisions will ultimately determine the success of the entire operation. Key Feature…
