Operation: Liberation is a mission conducted by the United States Empire against the ARM of Orion on the planet New Madrid, during the Outer Rim War. Once the perimeter defenses of the ARM had been disabled, the 8th Armored began operations to assault the Arm Headquarters outside Oasis City, New Madrid's capital. This was part of the 8th Armored Division's final push to liberate the planet and end the threat of the ARM to New Madrid. Leading the attack was the 1st Recon Platoon, commanded by Sergeant Alex Corde.
