Sanjeev Raj

Sign in to edit

Sanjeev Raj was a minor character in ArmA 2's Operation Harvest Red campaign.

Background[]

A member of USMC Force Recon callsign Sabre Team, Sanjeev served as one of the team's Forward Air Controllers. He was subordinate to Sabre's team leader, Sergeant Ian Simmons.

Operation Harvest Red (2009)[]

When civil war between Chernarussian government forces and pro-Russian separatists from the so-called "Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star" (ChDKZ) breaks out in the Green Sea nation of Chernarus[1], Sabre Team is immediately mobilised by the 27th MEU's GCE quartermaster[2] to assist in liberating the province of South Zagoria.[3]

Prior to the main ground invasion, Sanjeev's team were inserted behind enemy lines near the village of Mogilevka. They were to sabotage key coastal defences and supply dumps being used by the insurgents.[4] After succeeding with their primary objective, Sanjeev's team moved south towards the coast. More defences were located at the village of Prigorodki near the base of the Pik Kozlova mountain.

However, one of Sanjeev's team members gets compromised and is pinned down before they could properly mark the targets. Fortunately, another Force Recon team, callsign Razor, were nearby to lend support. Sanjeev's team member marked the targets with red smoke grenades for Razor Team[5], who then laser designated them for offshore artillery bombardment.[6]

Following their success, Sanjeev's team moved towards the regional capital of Chernogorsk. Allied forces were already besieging the city and all Force Recon teams - Sabre included, were ordered to assist.[7] During the assault, friendly forces discover the whereabouts of the insurgent leader and his advisers, but Razor Team are closer to their location and take charge of the raid.[8]

However, Razor Team failed to report in despite having captured the leaders. Soon after, Sanjeev's team is notified that Razor had been ambushed and were restrained by the insurgents. Sabre quickly moved into position at the warehouse where they were being held to rescue them before it would be too late. Upon breaching the warehouse, Sanjeev assisted his team leader in freeing the captives from their restraints.[9] Unfortunately, they were already too late to save First Sergeant Patrick Miles, who had been executed by the insurgents before they fled.[10]

In the days that followed the failed capture, Sanjeev's team would be relocated further north to FOB Manhattan, continuing their manhunt for the elusive leader.[11] Their search is short-lived, as news soon arrives of a devastating terrorist attack in the heart of the Russian Federation's capital; apparently carried out by Chernarussian extremists.[1] In less than 48 hours, the MEU would be forced to withdraw from Chernarus to make way for the arrival of Russian "peacekeepers".[12]

Before returning to the ship, Captain Shaftoe assigned one more task for Sanjeev's team. They were to bring back one of the insurgents who apparently held information regarding the terrorist attack in Moscow, a man known only by the name of "Spukayev". On the other hand, Razor would split up to collect documents from the defector's safehouse.[13]

Death[]

Having brought back the defector to the FOB first, Sanjeev's team could do little but wait for Razor to return with the man's documents.[14]

However, alongside the rest of Sabre, Sanjeev perishes when a team of seemingly Russian operatives attack the FOB. When Sanjeev and the others refused to answer the Russian operative's questions, he proceeded to fatally stab each of them with a knife.[15] His corpse would later be discovered by the members of Razor Team upon their return.[16]

Personality and Appearance[]

This section is a stub. You can help Armed Assault Wiki by expanding it.

An Asian-American, Sanjeev had short black hair and donned a Rhodesian Recon Vest (RRV) plate carrier, sage green-coloured Flame Resistant Organizational Gear (FROG) uniform, an olive green shemagh, and MARPAT-camouflaged pants. Similar to the other members of Sabre, Sanjeev usually wore a MARPAT-camouflaged booniehat, but favoured a tan-coloured MICH combat helmet for operations that took place in extreme close quarters.

Trivia[]

  • Sanjeev and the other team members of Sabre are the only named USMC characters that wear alternate outfits, ranging from the basic recon uniform and a unique "assault" outfit during the warehouse assault.

  11. ↑ ARMA 2 2009 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Operation Harvest Red, Manhattan, "The Chernarussian Defence Force is in control of the majority of the country thanks to the swift and decisive involvement of the USMC. However, insurgency is on the increase. The Krasnostav area is still seeing heavy counter-insurgency fighting between the CDF, ChDKZ Sotnya remnants and NAPA guerilla groups. Although enemies of the ChDKZ, there is no 'official' line concerning the NAPA group's attitude toward the USMC and it's allies. They should be approached with caution. The ChDKZ are operating from the forests that dominate this area of operation, popping up for occasional hit and run strikes on weak targets. Forward Operating Base 'Manhattan' has been established east of the town of Krasnostav to deal with the conflict in this area. Immediate USMC intervention is needed to assist the CDF who largely lack the appropriate counter-insurgency training for this area of operations. Our role in the AO is to find and eliminate key ChDKZ personnel, camps, strong-points and supporters. Razor Team will redeploy from Elektrozavodsk and rendezvous at FOB Manhattan checkpoint 'Brooklyn'. From there Razor should report to Capt. Shaftoe re: their deployment in the AO."
  12. ↑ ARMA 2 2009 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Operation Harvest Red, Bitter Chill, "The 27th MEU is leaving Chernarussian territory today, 17. October 2009 at 1700hrs, to be replaced by Russian Federation peacekeepers. The Kremlin claimed that USMC forces were incapable of controlling terrorist organizations - namely NAPA - convincing the UN to rescind it's approval. Many feel the Russians would have invaded anyway and that the UN complied so as not to seem toothless should the Federation act unilaterally. Without UN backing, the US feel forced to abandon Chernarus to the Russians. After the attack on Moscow sympathy and support for this position is widespread, with global public opinion and many national governments supporting the move. Razor Team will secure FOB Manhattan until it is dismantled and will then transfer directly to the Khe Sanh, leaving the region via the Khardaran strait. The transition from US to Russian control will of necessity be chaotically swift, USEUCOM has ordered there be no contact between the two powers."
  13. ↑ ARMA 2 2009 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Operation Harvest Red, Bitter Chill, "Simmons, I'm sending your team in after him. Cooper, Spukayev has a safehouse west of Krasnostav at 028104. I want you to take Razor and recover those files. [...] Simmons, Spukayev himself is at Khelm so your part in this won't take long. Rendezvous with him there and provide a safe escort back here for extraction."
  14. ↑ ARMA 2 2009 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Operation Harvest Red, Bitter Chill, "Razor this is Sabre, message over. [...] Hey boys, just thought you'd like to know we're back at Manhattan already. Just getting ready to bug out with Spukayev here, Manhattan's..."
  15. ↑ ARMA 2 2009 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Operation Harvest Red, Bitter Chill, "I didn't even get a shot off. I was on the horn to you, heard a bunch of thumps, then it started raining grenades. When I came round most of the guys were dead, there were 'dakis picking through the mess. Some of them looked like Russian Spetsnaz too. Right gear, right face. Should've guessed the Reds would fuck us. [...] They were asking for you! By your damn names. You guys are so fucked! There was this one really blond guy, Russian for sure. "Are you Razor? Where is Cooper?" He flipped when we wouldn't tell him, just went down the line and knifed us, one, two, three, like that. I'm pretty screwed, right Scarlet?"
  16. ↑ ARMA 2 2009 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Operation Harvest Red, Bitter Chill, "Captain, Sabre and Spukayev are dead, they're all dead sir, Manhattan's a ghost town. Simmons was alive when we got here but we lost him."
