The Battle of Grayana, also known as the Grayana Incident, was the first major combat operation in the Second War in Vulkaria against the Malvarian Liberation Front insurgency and Coalition forces. On September 30th, 2000, three TAH-60A Vultures were shot down in the town of Grayana, about 10 miles east of Amstelveen during a raid to capture a high profile insurgent commander, Van'a Kamoni. The ensuing rescue mission and battle resulted in 23 Zamastanian, 6 Quetanan, and 2 Haduastan soldiers being killed. There were between 315 and 2,000 insurgent casualties. The battle shifted public opinion of the war, especially when it led to President Abram Mullen devoting an additional 50,000 troops to the conflict.
