Since the border violation back in December 1991, the world has returned to a state of a second Cold War, dubbed “Cold War II”. Then CIS has been violating borders in other areas since the Caucasus incident, notibably in Northern Europe and the Persian Gulf via Iran and Iraq.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) was formed in 1981 to unify the Arab states in the Persian Gulf, providing support for one another. The members are Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. In 1984, the GCC formed the Peninsula Shield Force, a joint military task force of 10,000 active duty troops divided into two brigades. In 1991, this number was expanded to 700,000 in response to the world tension with 6 million reservists.

NATO has been invited to create installations in the UAE, and neighbouring areas. Carrier Strike Group Twelve made their way through the Strait of Hormuz in response to joint Iran-Iraq’s attacks on Saudi and Emirate convoys in the strait.

Main Objectives:
- Defend the Carrier Strike Group.
- Establish air superiority.
- Disrupt Enemy Logsitics and supply lines.
- Take Qeshm Island.
