Operation order
Situation
Background Information
With FOB Tinkanen successfully captured, British LCUs have been put to work quickly bringing up assets to solidify the FOBs position. Aerial recon suggests the garrisons to the West have been abandoned (which may need verification by patrol forces).
The next imminent threat to Tinkanen and ongoing operations in the area is a large vehicle depot to the North-east.
To the North, an important supply route needs securing to improve our logistics system as we push further inland. Fierce enemy resistance is expected, and thus the use of Challenger 2 MBTs has been authorized.

Enemy Forces
Russian heavy and medium armour and mechanized and heliborne infantry, expected patrols throughout the operation, entrenched positions on the defensive line overlooking the depot
Mission
Tasking
Capture the Vehicle Depot, NEUTRALISE THE DEFENSIVE LINE overlooking the depot which is also BLOCKING ACCESS to the rest of the mainland and take control of a portion of the msr, partially blocking the enemy supply chain and allowing us to set up our own for later use.
Primary tasking
- Assault and Capture the Vehicle depot
- Assault and Capture the assigned section of the MSR
- NEUTRALISE THE DEFENSIVE LINE
Secondary tasking
- prevent damage to the vehicle depot infrastructure
- prevent damage to the civilian infrastructure
- gather any intel or EPOWs which may assist in future operations
End-state
Repel any counter attacks after securing the MSR and await arrival of friendly reinforcements
Execution
Commander's Intent
To push north east and secure a vehicle depot along with a major defensive line & the main supply route into our ao. While the germans push from the west at the same time to secure the remainder of the MSR just outside of our AO.
Tasks and Sequencing
Starting at FOB Tinkanen, we will mount up in man trucks driven by the support engineers and head north east, when Golf reach the dismount point, golf 2 will move to the eastern side of the vehicle depot while golf 1 moves to the western side, then both callsigns will attack and secure the depot while phantom covers to the north east from hull down positions.
When the vehicle depot is secure, we will hold and set up a defensive perimeter while we patch up and resupply if necessary. Once we have resupplied/dealt with casualties Golf 1 & 2 will move out along there perspective lines (Golf 2 being extremely careful not to get engaged from the defensive line) headed north clearing through the towns towards the MSR while phantom moves in-between and puts down fire on the defensive line.
Once the towns are clear we will assault the MSR based on what we see on the ground. We will then move round to the east and move down the defensive line while securing it.
