'''Jasmine Cross''' (Born ???? - Died ????) was a military officer in the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]].

==Overview==

'''Jasmine Cross''' (Born ???? - Died ????) was a military officer in the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]. During the [[Jihad]], Cross - then a [[Colonel]] in the Engineering Corps - wrote a detailed report on the fall of the Fox's Den on [[New Avalon]] earlier in the Jihad. Discussing the factors that had enabled the military headquarters within [[Mount Davion]] to continue to operate effectively despite the loss of all of the other major surface fortifications, Cross highlighted that the loss of the Fox's Den was not a result of brute force on the part of the [[Word of Blake]], but rather a failure in communications and a failure to follow the correct safety protocols on the part of the defenders. The key incident singled out by Cross was Colonel [[Jason Trent]] overriding safety locks on Entrance 12 to allow multiple doors to open, rather than observing the airlock-like security measures in place, ostensibly to allow retreating [[AFFS]] forces to fall back into the facility but which instead allowed the Word of Blake to breach the outer protection of the Fox's Den.<ref name="JHS:Tp39">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 39, "Bharat Roadblock"</ref>

Cross' report on the Fox's Den played a key part during planning for the campaign to liberate [[Bharat]] during [[Operation SCOUR]], as the Blakists had established a fortress of some kind on Bharat that at least one senior AFFS officer, [[Major General]] [[Walter White-Davion]], believed would be as difficult to breach as the Fox's Den was - or should have been.<ref name="JHS:Tp39"/>
