To ensure the security of the Nadbór Power Plant, that is supplying energy to the entire area, as well as slowing down enemy advancements from the south, a platoon moves to secure a contested military depot, then set up defences against Russian advances just south of Gieraltów.

[1X] Platoon HQ, Callsign Guardian
[2X] Rifle Squads

There are no friendly units operating within vicinity of the AO.

The 23 Silesian Artillery Regiment [JW 1145] in Kryśnik (callsign Hammer) is capable of providing rocket artillery strike on request by the Field Leader.

In case of extremely difficult situation, the troops can be supported and extracted with the help of the 6th Airborne Brigade [JW 2250] stationed in Lembork (callsign Dragonfly).

The area is occupied by a brigade of Russian Airborne Troops (VDV) - Lightweight infantry.
There is a possibility of encountering Spetsnaz (VSN) forces in the forested area.
A quick reaction force would most likely consist of motor rifle troops (MSV), they usually are equipped with IFVs, APCs and armed patrol cars.

Guardian Platoon is tasked with limiting enemy advancements by securing the Military Depot, laying mines on the various roads leading from the south, and digging into defensive positions inside the town of Gieraltów.

The roads leading to Gieraltów are mined up, the Military Depot is secured, and Gieraltów is int the defensible state.

The purpose of this operation is to delay the enemy from gaining strategic terrain in the direction of Nadbór Power Plant. In order to fulfil our purpose, GUARDIAN will complete three objectives: 1) Secure Military Depot 2) Interdict MSV movement towards Gieraltów 3) Delay VDV assault on Gieraltów CRUCIAL TO MISSION SUCCESS IS THE COMPLETION OF OBJECTIVE 2 AND 3. IF EITHER FAILS, THIS MISSION CANNOT BE CONSIDERED A SUCCESS. SHOULD GIERALTÓW FAIL, IT WILL ENDANGER THE REGION'S ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE DEFENSIVE INTEGRITY OF THE NORTHEAST. FAILURE TO DELAY THE ASSAULT ON GIERALTÓW WILL BE CONSIDERED A STRATEGIC FAILURE.

PHASE 5 ROE: GREEN TYPE: DEFENSIVE FALLBACK ORDER: DL1 --> DL2 --> DL3 --> DL4 --> RLY URANUS ALL CALLSIGNS will delay VDV advancement by assuming defensive positions at DL1. Once GUARDIAN has sustained significant contact but is yet to be overwhelmed, the platoon will orchestrate a defensive withdrawal towards DL2. Whilst falling back, the platoon will engage in successive bounding as far as is possible. Once at DL2, the platoon establishes new defensive positions covering assigned directions. This continues until DL4 is reached, or Gieraltów becomes indefensible and GUARDIAN requires further extraction from the AO.
