THREE STAR RATING: ★LITTLE TO NONE EXPECTED ★★DECENT AMOUNT EXPECTED ★★★HEAVY EMPHASIS / MAIN FOCUS OF OPERATION EXPECTED LEVEL OF COMBAT : ★★ EXPECTED LEVEL OF RP: ★★ EXPECTED DIFFICULTY: ★★ Afghanistan, 17 October 2019. The remote villages in Afghanistan are yet again a centre of conflict. The insurgency has flared up, particularly in the mountaineous areas northeast of Arobster. Patrols have reported skirmishes with armed insurgents, and IEDs are again a danger along the routes in the area. The US has been in this area for quite some time, but due to huge disagreements and a deterioration of relations in the last few years with the Afghani government, the US has for the last year been interested in downscaling its operations and military commitments. Ongoing logistical operations therefore aim to shift all American equipment to another more central airbase 230 kilometres further southeast, and Kinduf Airbase is expected to be handed over to ANA already by the start of November. Kalae Noowi Airbase has already been under ANA control for a few months. Intelligence suggest that the insurgents are centred along the riverbed going from Arobster up to Kunara, with further positions in the mountains northwest of Kunara. UAV feeds have also confirmed the presence of Russian military officials and advisors, though their function in the sudden escalation is unknown. Whilst the ANA and the insurgents have been at conflict for many years, intel suggests that Russian military advisors also have visited Kalae Noowi recently, again for unknown reasons. As the roads leaving Kalae Noowi to the southwest have been plagued by IEDs recently, ANA considers it an impossible task at the moment to investigate further, and have requested American assistance. US commanders at Kinduf have accepted the request, and have decided that one of the last remaining motorised platoons will conduct a patrol along the riverbed to investigate, and ideally eliminate resistance in the area.
