Summary
Due to a recent increase in Domestic Terrorism by the Insurgent group The Surge, the Government of Fireside is faced with the decision to train children to become Super Soldiers.

Development
Operation School is one of the oldest stories in Andrew's memory of possible stories. It is the "longest running" story he has in his mind, but was the last one he decided to add to the Fireside Universe.

Operation School was first envisioned when Andrew was in sixth grade while bored in class. It was a rather simple concept, he and his friends were trained to be soldiers and defended their school from threats. It was a fun concept, with not much story, and mostly just imagination fuel.

The next year, when Andrew was in seventh grade, Operation School started to develop in fuller form, but was mostly an amalgam of various pop culture franchises. Aliens were added based on the Halo franchise, Weapons were added based on Star Wars, and the "series" still didn't have any overarching story. Whatever Andrew thought of became the next story.

Between late 2009 to mid 2010 Andrew tried writing out an actual story based version of Operation School, posting it to Writerscafe.org. Due to his inexperience with writing though, and his lack of actual planning for the story, the written story ended up being a mixed mess of various ideas with little notable plot or character development.
