WE BELIEVE THAT THE CAPTURE OF THE INDEPENDENT LIBERATION FRONT’S (ILF) RELIGIOUS LEADER MOSES HAS DEALT A SIGNIFICANT BLOW TO THE ORGANISATION. HIS INTERROGATION HAS YIELDED SOME INTERESTING INFORMATION, SOME OF WHICH THE UN CONSIDERS TO BE URGENT AND REQUIRING IMMEDIATE ACTION.

MOSES HAS TOLD INTERROGATORS THAT IN THE EVENT OF HIS CAPTURE OR DEATH ALL REMAINING ELEMENTS OF THE ILF SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BEGIN A CAMPAIGN OF TERROR AMONGST THE CIVILIAN POPULATION UNTIL HE IS EITHER FREED OR THE UN LEAVES THE CHONGO AREA.

LAST NIGHT A SERIES OF VERY LARGE EXPLOSIONS WERE REPORTED BY CIVILIANS IN THE VICINITY OF OBUPALA. WE SHOULD URGENTLY INVESTIGATE THE AREA AND PROVIDE AID TO ANYONE WHO MAY HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY WHAT MAY BE ATTACKS BY THE REMAINING ELEMENTS OF THE ILF.

1 X PLATOON SIZED GROUP OF BRITISH ARMY FORCES

UN SUPPORTING ASSETS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AND LOGISTICAL SUPPORT.
1 X UN HELICOPTER AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT OF CIVILIANS/SOLDIERS NEEDING MEDICAL ATTENTION.

THE INDEPENDENT LIBERATION FRONT IS A GROUP OF ARMED RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISTS KNOWN TO BE CONNECTED TO ORGAN TRAFFICKING. WE BELIEVE THERE MAY BE TIES BETWEEN THE ILF AND A FACTION OPERATING OUT OF CHONGO. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT, IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY, MANY PEOPLE CARRY WEAPONS WHICH ARE LEFT OVER FROM THE CIVIL WAR OF 1975-2002. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO FIND A GOAT HERDER OR TRAVELLING MERCHANT ARMED WITH AN AUTOMATIC RIFLE. THIS DOES NOT MAKE THEM OUR ENEMY. WE ARE HERE TO PREVENT CONFLICT, NOT CREATE IT. USE CAUTION AND SOUND JUDGEMENT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DISARM ANYONE. WE SHOULD ONLY DO THIS IF WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT ALLOWING THEM TO BE ARMED POSES A DANGER TO US OR OTHER CIVILIANS.

PRIMARY TASKING OUR FORCE IS TASKED WITH THE FOLLOWING: IMMEDIATELY MOVE TO OBUPALA AND INVESTIGATE POSSIBLE ATTACKS BY THE REMAINING MEMBERS OF THE ILF. ESTABLISH A HASTY MEDICAL FACILITY TO PROVIDE IMMEDIATE MEDICAL AID OR RELOCATE MORE COMPLEX MEDICAL CASES BACK TO FOB ORPHEUS. INVESTIGATE ANY POSSIBLE ILF ACTIVITY AND IF POSSIBLE DETERMINE THE LINK BETWEEN ILF AND OTHER FACTIONS OPERATING IN THE AREA. AS PER STANDING ORDERS, IN ALL LOCATIONS: A) ASSESS THE LEVEL OF THREAT IN THE AREA; B) ASSESS THE NEEDS OF THE GENERAL POPULATION AND PROVIDE SUPPORT WHERE POSSIBLE; C) GATHER HUMINT FROM CONVERSATIONS WITH THE GENERAL POPULATION TO IMPROVE OUR INTELLIGENCE SITUATION; AND D) GAUGE THE SUPPORT FOR UN OPERATIONS IN THE AREA. REPORT ALL INFORMATION AND INTELLIGENCE THROUGH THE CHAIN OF COMMAND. SECONDARY TASKING GIVEN THAT THE OPERATING DISTANCE TO FOR ORPHEUS IS INCREASING, LOGISTICAL SUPPORT ELEMENTS SHOULD IDENTIFY A LOCATION FOR A POSSIBLE FUTURE FORWARD OPERATING BASE IN THE AREA.

THE END STATE IS REACHED WHEN WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE CIVILIAN POPULATION IN OBUPALA IS SAFE.

WE WILL MOVE INTO OBUPALA AND PROVIDE COMPLETE SAFETY AND SECURITY. WE WILL INVESTIGATE REPORTS OF EXPLOSIONS, AND FOLLOW UP RELEVANT LEADS.

OSCAR AND XRAY WILL MOVE TOGETHER TO OBUPALA THROUGH BAMMIO.

AT DP SEOUL, OSCAR WILL DISMOUNT AND MOVE INTO OBUPALA WITH VEHICULAR SUPPORT TO THEIR REAR. MAIN OBJECTIVE AT THIS STAGE WILL BE TO GATHER INFORMATION REGARDING THE REPORTED EXPLOSIONS AND TO ASSESS THE SITUATION. ANY AND ALL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ILF IN PARTICULAR BUT ALSO CCDP OR MR. MIKE ARE ALL WELCOME. WHILST PATROLLING, OSCAR WILL RENDER ANY AND ALL FIRST AID TO ANY WOUNDED INDIVIDUALS AND PREPARE THE CASUALTIES FOR TRANSPORT TO THE TEMPORARY MEDICAL FACILITY XRAY WILL SET UP.

WHILST OSCAR IS PATROLLING THE CITY, XRAY WILL CONSTRUCT A TEMPORARY MEDICAL FACILITY TO THE EAST OF OBUPALA. WHEN THIS FACILITY HAS BEEN COMPLETED, IT WILL SERVE AS A CASUALTY COLLECTION POINT TO WHICH ALL CASUALTIES ARE TO BE BROUGHT FOR TRIAGING AND TREATMENT. SERIOUS CASUALTIES AND KIAS ARE TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE MEDICAL FACILITY AT FOB ORPHEUS.

XRAY IS ALSO TASKED WITH THE IDENTIFICATION OF POSSIBLE FOB LOCATIONS IN THE AREA.
WHILST OSCAR IS TO PRIORITISE OWN TASKS, THEY SHOULD REPORT TO THE CHAIN OF COMMAND IF THEY HAVE SEEN POTENTIALLY GOOD LOCATIONS FOR A NEW FOB.

A SMALL CIVILIAN MEDICAL FACILITY IS AVAILABLE AT UN HQ IN SWAGGA AND AT FOB ORPHEUS.
