Command: Modern Operations Command: Showcase - Operation Desert Falcon

Command: Showcase - Operation Desert Falcon is a scenario for Command: Modern Operations, set in 2027. A coup in Chad has brought an anti-colonial regime to power. Militant groups are seizing foreign assets, and government security forces have joined the United Sahel Liberation Front. As militants advance on Massenya Airfield, the base being used to evacuate French and foreign nationals, you command the French air force’s effort to support the evacuation and prevent a massacre.

Evacuate Massenya

The closest fighter squadron is more than 2,000 nautical miles away in southern France. You must coordinate multiple air-to-air refuelings and synchronized multidomain strikes, then evacuate 500 civilians from the besieged airbase to Libreville, Gabon. The evacuation must be completed quickly and with proper security as militants close in on Massenya Airfield.

Plan the operation

You play as France, with the Rafale C and A330 Phenix at the center of the mission, supported by platforms including the C-130 and C-17. Libya offers the most direct route, but flying a strike mission over an active conflict zone carries political risks. Chad may also deploy MiG-29s, Su-25s and JF-17Ns to disrupt your plans. France’s position in Africa is already precarious, so any aircraft loss or national humiliation counts as mission failure.

Planning tools

The scenario uses the Ops Planner, Multidomain Strike Planner, Cargo 2.0 and Palletized Munitions. Completing the Multidomain Strike Planner tutorials before playing is highly recommended.
