US CIVIL WAR (1999-2001) 
 
1ST SCENARIO - OUTBREAK 
12:00 ZULU, 23 APRIL 1999, PUGET SOUND 
  
BACKGROUND 
In March 1999, the Congress votes to impeach the President and Vice   
President after a long investigation into improper and illegal campaign   
contribution violations associated with the 1996 election.  The die is cast when   
paper trails provide indisputable documentation regarding communist Chinese  
moneys and influence involving both the President and Vice President in  
tremendous breaches of US security and selling of US interests.  
  
At the same time, the House Speaker is indicted by the Attorney General  on  
improper influencing of congressional hearings associated with  the impeachment  
proceedings, and is asked to turn over significant personal property and  
documentation to Federal authorities by April 12th.  
  
The President, citing the actions of the House Speaker, declares the   
impeachment void on April 12th after the Speaker refuses to hand over his property.  
On April 17, 1999, the President declares a national emergency and enacts   
executive orders, long on the books, which give the executive branch total   
control of commerce, transportation, communications and agriculture.  Using   
the 1996 Anti-terrorism Act, the impeached President declares, on April 19,   
1999,  all militias, patriot groups, several conservative congressional caucuses   
and several congressmen and senators as "terrorists" and moves to arrest them   
and any of their members or contributors. FEMA is employed to coordinate this   
effort utilizing the BATF, FBI and the Joint Operations Command of the   
military, which had been culled of any "extremists" over the preceding three   
years.  On the morning of April 19th, coincident with the President's announcements, 
urban assault teams move to brutally suppress the targeted groups across the country, 
causing dozens of large firefights which blossom into full scale confrontations 
between armed citizens and federal troops in the targeted areas.  
  
The immediate reaction in congress is one of outrage and a demand for a   
cessation of the so called "emergency".  The President proclaims a recess of   
congress until the emergency is past and several members are arrested on the   
floor of congress in view of millions before CSPAN's broadcast is shut down.  
  
Immediately, 23 State governors and their legislatures  vote in emergency state  
sessions to secede from the federal  government, but not from the "Union of States  
established by the  Constitution".  These states immediately mobilize their National  
Guard units and whatever regular army units who are loyal to the Constitution and  
not Washington DC.  California erupts into total chaos and anarchy.  A  document  
entitled "Articles of Reconfederation" is produced by the reconfederated states  
which calls for the removal of the President and his  entire administration, the  
canceling of the Federal Reserve Act, the Emergency  Powers Act, the 1933 State of  
Emergency, GATT, NAFTA, the Endangered  Species Act, the Wetlands Act, the  
questionably ratified 16th amendment, the  IRS and many other federal institutions  
based on 1933 emergency legislation, and calls for new national elections.  Within 4  
days, with National Guard, citizens and loyal army units of these reconfederated states  
quell the assaults on their citizens by the FEMA coordinated assault teams.  
  

At the request of the embattled US administration, the UN votes on April 21st to  
support the President, and preserve the UN sanctioned treaties that are threatened  
by the "Reconfederated" states.  The resolution states that member states are  
authorized to use "whatever  diplomatic or military force necessary to restore unity  
and peace within the United States".   China, Russia, Canada and the European  
Community  are identified as the major players to help the administrations efforts to  
bring the reconfederated states in line.  Fully  60% of America's "regular" military  
falls in behind Washington DC and the UN, although significant strife and 
reductions in readiness are experienced as the servicemen themselves decide which side
they intend to support.. 
  
40% of the regular military, with the same strife and readiness reductions spoken of  
above, voice their intent to align themselves with the Reconfederation. The entire  
militia and patriot movement, the national guard units of the reconfederated states  
and large numbers of national guard units from 7 "undecided" and other states support  
the reconfederation.  Friendly overtures from the goverments of Israel, Taiwan, South  
Korea, Argentina, India, Ukraine, Romania and Thailand to the reconfederation  
livens the international scene. 
 
In all of the now not united states, martial law is declared by both sides as the citizenry 
begins to take sides within the individual state boundaries.  This leads to severe civil  
strife, rioting and rebellion as differing loyalties conflict with one another. 
 
OPERATION OUTBREAK 
This scenario, "Outbreak", is based on the first large scale military action of the  
war which occurs between April 23rd and April 25th in the Puget Sound area as  
a portion of the USS Abraham Lincoln battlegroup stationed in Everett, WA,  
several ships based in Bremerton, WA, a visiting Los Angeles class attack sub,  
and a Trident ballistic sub based in Bangor, WA., make plans to sweep out of  
Puget Sound to clear the way for the Abraham Lincoln and the Trident sub,  
fully armed, to sail into the open Pacific to join up with other reconfederated vessels  
approaching from Hawaii and San Diego. All of these vessels have declared their 
loyalty to the Constitution and the reconfederated states.  Other elements of all of these  
groups, including two other Tridents, who's crews are of questionable loyalty to the  
Reconfederation, are scuttled by  elements of their crews, before they can be stopped.
 
The Reconfederated clearing force consists of a California class cruiser, two Kidd class  
destroyers, two Spruance class destroyers and the a Los Angeles  class submarine.  
The Abraham Lincoln, the Trident sub, a Virginia class cruiser, and a 
Sacramento class replenishment vessel will remain in Puget Sound until the clearing 
force breaks into the Pacific and establishes a safe avenue, and 
until air superiority in the local vicinity  is clearly established. 
 
In the path of the Reconfederated clearing force is a Canadian surface group stationed 
out of  the Esquimalt CFB and sailing  south on the east side of Vancouver Island 
consisting of an Iroquois destroyer, a Halifax frigate and a Oberon diesel sub; a 
large surface group from China approaching the Strait of Juan de Fuca from the 
northwest consisting of a Luhu class destroyer, a Luda II destroyer and two
Jeng Wei frigates; and a Federalist US Surface group sailing north off the central 
Washington coast consisting of an AEGIS cruiser, an Arleigh Burke destroyer, a 
Spruance destroyer and a Los Angeles class submarine.  These forces are to keep the 
Lincoln and the Tridents from breaking out at all costs, and to destroy the Lincoln 
and the Trident. 
 
McChord  and Whidbey Island air bases in Washington are prepared with  
mixed air wings to support the Reconfederated forces, along with the partial air wing  
of the Lincoln.  These forces include A6E Intruders. P3C Orions, F14D's, F18E's, 
F-15C's, S3B's, and a few F-15E's.  Two E-2C's and a E-3 will provide AEW for the 
Reconfederates. 
 
Comox airfield in Canada, air units flying from Vancouver International Airport and  
Federal air units flying from Portland airport and North Bend airfield in Oregon will  
support the Federal vessels and their allies.   These air units include CF-18's, F-15C's, 
P3 Orions, F-15E's, A-10A's, A-7E's and several F-111's.  Two E-3's will provide AEW  
for the Federalists.
