The United States invasion of Grenada began at dawn on 25 October 1983. The United States and a coalition of six Caribbean nations invaded the island nation of Grenada, 100 miles (160 km) north of Venezuela. Codenamed Operation Urgent Fury by the U.S. military, it resulted in military occupation within a few days. It was triggered by the strife within the People's Revolutionary Government, which resulted in the house arrest and execution of the previous leader and second Prime Minister of Grenada, Maurice Bishop, and the establishment of the Revolutionary Military Council, with Hudson Austin as Chairman. The invasion resulted in the appointment of an interim government, followed by elections in 1984.

It is early morning. The sun will rise momentiarly, allowing us to drop in the dark and assault in the day. The skies are clear and we are expecting a nice clear day to aid in our invasion. We are playing as the 82nd Airborne Division of the Army, the 75th Ranger Regiment, US Marines and the Navy SEALs. We have the support of AH-1Ts in the skies, able to provide ground suppression and anti-armour capabilities. The tanks are mainly acting as infantry support as no enemy armour is expected, though AT presence may be high. We have a UH-60 and CH-53 available to act as air support and infantry reinsert.
