CONTEXT​

The situation regarding Turkey had now come to a boiling point. It was clear to the State Department, the top brass of the armed forces, and most importantly the White House that direct armed conflict on a massive scale between the United Coalition and Turkey was inevitable. One evening in the Situation Room at the White House, after careful consideration, President Gore ordered that the entire Marine Expeditionary Force of the United States Marine Corps be deployed to the United Kingdom in preparation for a ground invasion of Turkey. The Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Sawyer Simon, told the President that the Marine Corps would immediately begin transporting all Marines to the East Coast with their gear. The Navy committed the battleships Missouri and Wisconsin, along with sixteen destroyers, and multiple amphibious assault ships to transport and protect the Marines, as well as to possible be directly deployed to the rest of the European theater with Task Force 101 and Task Force 3.​

ATLANTIC THEATER​

All Marines in the 1st Marine Division were immediately called to their muster stations and all leave was cancelled. The Department of Defense paid for Marines to be transported by rail, air, or road to Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads in Virginia. In order to make an impression on the public, the Marines were ordered to travel in their blue dress uniforms to Virginia (whereafter they would change into their combat uniforms before deploying). The Air Force would fly in Marine vehicles that were being initially deployed for this mission to Virginia where they would then be transported to Hampton Roads. All Marines would arrive at Hampton Roads in 48 hours or less and organize for their deployments. During these two days, the Navy would prepare all of the vessels, perform emergency maintenance checks around the clock, load weapons and vehicles onto the ships, load and check weaponry to ensure that it was operational, and load the crews aboard to prepare them for deployment. After the 48 hours had passed, the vessels would unceremoniously begin their deployment from Hampton Roads at three in the morning in order to avoid prying eyes. The ships would all successfully deploy and travel in a formation of the two battleships in front with the amphibious assault ships and transport docks in the center of the formation, the destroyers surrounding the formation, and support ship and oiler following behind. All of the ships would maintain safe distances from each other to avoid collision. While travelling, all of the vessels would be operating their active and passive radars and sonars to scan the air, surface, and subsurface of the sea for any potential threats. The current plan was to sail Battle Group Gold from Hampton Roads to about thirty miles west of the Isles of Scilly. From there, the fleet would hopefully be able to sail to a port where the Arctic and John Ericsson would be able to replenish themselves and the Marines could be unloaded to give them some breathing room. After the departure of the Battle Group Gold, the British Royal Navy would be securely informed by the Office of Naval Intelligence exactly what was heading their way and when it would arrive. A similar secure message would be sent to the Foreign Office from the State Department. The message from the Office of Naval Intelligence would specifically request that a port be made available to regularly replenish American ships and that a nearby military base or facility be made available to house the 8,900 Marines.​

DEPLOYMENT ORDERS​

TOP SECRET​

ATLANTIC THEATER​

Battle Group Gold successfully sailed from the United States to about thirty miles west of the Isles of Scilly. The fleet would remain in a holding pattern, being sure to not remain still in one place, while also avoiding major trade routes and shipping channels to try to remain hidden as long as possible. The Office of Naval Intelligence contacted the Royal Navy and the Foreign Office, both securely, and informed them of approximately where Battle Group Gold was. A request was again made to have a place for the American replenishment ships and oilers to dock and replenish/refuel. Also, a request was made to allow the Navy to use a Royal Navy port to disembark the U.S. Marines so that they could be in waiting until the time came in the Mediterranean for their deployment. ONI would make it clear that if the British preferred for the Marines to be sent to RAF Mildenhall or some other location, they would do so, but it was made clear that the Marines would need to disembark soon or BGG would have to sail back to the United States.​

The Royal Navy, having discussed directly with the Foreign Office, would privately grant access to HMNB Portsmouth and that accommodation was available at RAF Mildenhall for the marines they wished to preposition.

DEPLOYMENT ORDERS​

TOP SECRET​

ATLANTIC THEATER​

Battle Group Gold continued its circling position near England. Once confirmation was given from the Foreign Office, preparations began to be made to disembark the 8000+ Marines in the fleet. The USS Arctic and USS John Ericcson split from BGG and take a safe navigable route to HMNB Portsmouth where they would both resupply and refuel to what they had before their journey from North America began. Then they would rejoin BGG and await further orders. Rear Admiral Vance Thibodeaux and Brigadier General Archibald Walker both agreed that it would be appropriate to hold most of the Marines on land until they were needed in Turkey. However, the Marines aboard the two battleships would remain onboard their respective vessels.

Battle Group Gold then sailed to (50.285735, -0.980875). If the Royal Navy didn't object through secure communications, the battleships USS Missouri and Wisconsin would both steam to HMNB Portsmouth. They would each take a navigable path and would dock at one of the three large docks that were normally used for carriers. British harbor pilots, and tugboats cleared by the Royal Navy, would be used to bring the battleships safely into port. Once in port they would begin the process of coordinating with the British to refuel. The 156 Marines on each battleship would be armed and visible around various parts of the exterior of their respective ships. Twenty would disembark onto the dock itself, armed with their M4A1 rifles and Baretta sidearms while wearing their combat uniforms, to guard the moorings and port side of the warships themselves. After the ships refueled they would return the same way they came and rejoin BGG.

From that location Battle Group Gold would steam to (52.087677, 2.073590) which was about twenty miles off the coast of Aldeburgh, in the English Channel. This location was specifically chosen as it would allow a straight path for U.S. helicopters to fly over the English countryside to RAF Mildenhall without having to go around any major cities.

All U.S. Marines aboard the following ships would be flown to RAF Mildenhall: USS Wasp, USS Tarawa, USS Saipan, USS San Antonio, USS New Orleans, USS Mesa Verde, USS Green Bay, and USS New York.

They would be flown by the respective aircraft on their vessels with the appropriate number of pilots, crew, and fuel to make it to RAF Mildenhall and back to the ship. As many trips as necessary would be taken to transport the Marines to the RAF base. All aircraft would return to their original ships and the pilots would be switched out as needed. The helicopters, which flew at 10,000 feet above sea level and would travel below their maximum speed, would land at the northern tarmac. The Marines would be welcomed on shore by the Air Force personnel already there and be given sleeping quarters, meals, and entertainment until it was time for them to leave.

The Royal Navy would be securely informed of this operation both before it take place and once it was concluded.​

Battle Group Gold successfully sailed to its aforementioned destination. All Marines were successfully transported to RAF Mildenhall without incident and found the appropriate accommodations needed. The fleet would maintain a holding pattern outside of any major shipping channels, but would remain on the move and roughly circle their current location while continuing to use all active and passive sonar and radar to look for any threats in the air, on the surface, or below the waves. The battleships Wisconsin and Missouri also rejoined the fleet and would maintain their position in the fleet as they had before.​

The 8900 U.S. Marines that had been temporarily sent to RAF Mildenhall were recalled to their aforementioned ships. They were brought back to the vessels in the same way they had departed from the ships. The Royal Navy would be informed twelve hours in advance that this would be taking place. After the Marines were back on board their ships, Battle Group Gold set sail for the Mediterranean Sea from its current location. From the English Channel, the fleet would take the quickest route to the Straight of Gibraltar. From there, BGG took the quickest route to (36.029389, 35.001146). These routes would be in safe, navigable waters for all of the ships and the fleet would not enter the waters of any country other than the United Kingdom.​

ATLANTIC THEATER​

Battle Group Gold paused its deployment to the Mediterranean after receiving orders to maintain a holding pattern in the English Channel, about thirty-three miles south of HMNB Portsmouth. The Royal Navy was securely informed that Battle Group Gold could personally transport up to 1460 British troops, if necessary. That number would be split between the battleships Missouri and Wisconsin. However, if the British were not making a deployment of that size, the battleships could certainly also accommodate a smaller number of troops (or special forces). Also, if the British preferred to just attach Her Majesty's ships to BGG and transport troops themselves, that was also perfectly acceptable. The only request was that this decision was made soon, as they were on a time schedule. If the British chose to have their troops ride with the Americans, helicopters from the fleet would bring the British to the battleships instead of having the warships dock in port again.​

ATLANTIC THEATER​

Rear Admiral Thibodeaux ordered the fleet to prepare for the British special forces to arrive on the USS Missouri. The battleship had an excess of room for plenty of more troops than the 164 that the British wanted to send, so it would be no logistical issue at all. Separate quarters were prepared for the British. Also, a separate barracks was established to hold the British arms while they were on the Missouri, which were guarded full time by Marines. The only people allowed to be armed on the ship during transit were the 156 United States Marines and the six federal agents on board. The British soldiers would be fed and taken care of, and allowed to engage in recreation and other activates onboard the ship including fraternizing with the American crew if they chose. Room was made on some of the ships to carry the British helicopters. If necessary, some American helicopters would be temporarily left behind at Mildenhall.

Battle Group Gold set sail for the Mediterranean Sea from its current location. From the English Channel, the fleet would take the quickest route to the Straight of Gibraltar. From there, BGG took the quickest route to (36.029389, 35.001146).

Battle Group Gold arrived to (36.029389, 35.001146) safely. BG-G would continue to maneuver together instead of coming to a full stop in order to maintain its advantage of active momentum. The British would now be free to travel to where they deemed it necessary. Meanwhile, the Marines would prepare for a departure to mainland Anatolia. The Pentagon would be in constant secret communication with BG-G and Task Force 101 to ensure that the fleets were ready to react in a moment's notice. Preparations were being made in the United States and in the Mediterranean for the eventual deployment of the U.S. Marines and any resistance they may face. Also, plans were being made to fly in humanitarian aid to Turkey so that the population could be brought back to law and order.

EUROPEAN THEATER​

After the arrival of Battle Group Gold, thousands of Marines were flown in to Karatas where they secured the port and allowed more Marines to be flown in with shipments of food and medical supplies. Arrangements were made aboard the USS Missouri to accept the formal surrender of the Turkish government. After his location was determined, a secure message was sent to what remained of the Turkish military high command. Then Acting-President Mesut Yilmaz was flown by a U.S. military helicopter to the Missouri. Military representatives from the other allied countries were asked to come as well, if they wished. Aboard the Missouri, Acting President Yilmaz would meet with Noah Irving, who had been flown in earlier that morning. There was a table and chairs on the deck of the ship so that the two men could sit down and review the document that they were about to sign. It was the unconditional surrender of the Turkish armed forces and the Turkish state to allied forces. Vice Admiral Irving and Acting-President Yilmaz each signed a copy, and the ceremony was complete. A limited amount of American press was on board to take pictures and document the occasion. Afterwards, the Acting-President was flown back home to begin the rebuilding of his country. A very limited amount of American military forces would stay in the region until elections could be held to restore the Turkish government.

EUROPEAN THEATER​

With the conclusion of the war against Turkey, and with the distribution of humanitarian aid, the only matter that still needed resolving was the government. President Gore personally tasked Vice Admiral Noah Irving with leading American military and civilian forces in protecting the remaining Turkish government officials so that elections could be organized. With that being said, war criminals in the government and military would be arrested by the U.S. armed forces and held in Turkey. Individuals that had to do with the murder of Jews and other minorities would be put on trial by a tribunal of judges from the United States (the Russian, Swedish, and British governments would be invited to contribute judges and clerks as well). Any of the individuals found guilty of knowingly organizing and detaining the minorities for liquidation would be executed by hanging until they were dead. The executions would be done in private with official witnesses. They would be offered the opportunity to make right with God, be it through a Christian or Muslim, and would be fed and given a safe place to sleep and rest until the time of their execution. The trials themselves would be recorded by multiple court reporters who were fluent in English, Turkish, Yiddish, Greek (Swedish and Russian as well if those countries decided to send representatives).

The chief judge would be the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Clarance Thomas. He was essentially a "first among equals" and would be the presiding judge to keep the peace in the court. The proceedings would be personally protected by U.S. Marines, as would the judges and members of the court. In the end, several hundred high officials in the government and the military would be found guilty of crimes against humanity. They would be executed as described above, in private. Their names would afterwards be publicly released. Their bodies would be cremated and the ashes would be scattered to the winds of the Mediterranean Sea by the Navy.

Finally, as the trials were being concluded, a new moderate democratic government would be freely elected in Turkey. After this government was installed, and it was clear that what remained of the Turkish military supported it, the United States would create an organized withdraw of its forces out of Turkey and Europe in general. If the British needed a ride home, so to speak, the Navy would bring its ships close to England to allow them to be flown home by helicopter. Afterwards all American vehicles and personnel would return to their home ports and bases. They would refuel as necessary and restore their foodstuffs when needed. The conflict in Turkey was now concluded, the war was over.
