Following a Russian-aided counterattack on Svetloyarsk port, the US Army Rangers are tasked with launching an Eastern offensive to clear out the final Chernarussian forces, repel the Russian conspirators and claim the region for good.

US ARMY RANGER INFANTRY PLATOON, CALLSIGN HITMAN, AUGMENTED WITH:
-ENHANCED AT CAPABILITIES
-SQUAD-INTEGRATED GPMG SUPPORT

THE ESTONIAN ARMED FORCES ARE HOLDING DEFENSIVE POSITIONS ON THE NORTHERN FRONT IN RESPONSE TO THE RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE. THEY WILL NOT BE ACCOMPANYING THE US ARMY RANGERS ON THIS OPERATION.

THE CHERNARUSSIAN MOVEMENT OF THE RED STAR (CHDKZ) FORCES ARE A STATE-BACKED PARAMILITARY AND AS SUCH, HAVE ACCESS TO A MODERN ARRAY OF RUSSIAN EQUIPMENT. THE DESTRUCTION OF THEIR FINAL AIRSTRIP IN KRASNOSTAV HAS SEEN THE ELIMINATION OF ALL REMAINING FIXED WING AIR ASSETS AND THE CAPTURE OF THEIR HELIPORT IN SEVEROGRAD HAS LIMITED USE OF THEIR ROTARY ASSETS.

AS THE FRONT LINE COLLAPSES ON THE CHDKZ, WE HAVE SEEN A DEGREDATION OF EQUIPMENT AVAILABILITY AND EMPLOYED TACTICS. THE REMAINING PORT TOWNS ARE KNOWN TO BE WELL FORTIFIED AS A PRODUCT OF OPFOR OCCUPATION TIME.

THE SECOND LINE OF ATTACK IN A THREE PART OFFENSIVE, HITMAN PLATOON IS TASKED WITH SECURING THE SOUTHERN FRONT TO SUPPORT THE PENDING NORTHERN OFFENSIVE. ALL OPFOR PERSONNEL MUST BE ELIMINATED FROM THE AO OR DRIVEN NORTH PRIOR TO THE FINAL ASSAULT.

ALL OPFOR PERSONNEL ELIMINATED OR DISPLACED NORTH FROM THE ASSIGNED AO.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS MISSION IS TO CONTINUE OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS AGAINST CHDKZ FORCES IN THE NORTH-EAST OF CHERNARUS, BY ELIMINATING AND DISPLACING THEIR FORCES FROM THE STRONGHOLD IN BEREZINO.

THIS ROUTE WILL TAKE US THROUGH THE TOWN OF DUBROVKA WHICH HAS APPEARED CLEAR OF ENEMY PRESENCE DURING RECON PATROLS, HOWEVER INTELLIGENCE PROVIDED BY CIVILIAN SOURCES SUGGESTS SOME MINOR INFREQUENT CHEDAKI ACTIVITY MAY STILL BE PRESENT WITHIN THE AREA. SHOULD CONTACT BE MADE WITH CHEDAKI FORCES IN DUBROVKA, ALL HITMAN ELEMENT SHALL DISEMBARK THEIR VEHICLES AND CLEAR OUT ALL THREATS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE MISSION. UPON REACHING RP JULIET, ALL HITMAN CALLSIGNS WILL MANOEUVRE EAST TOWARDS RLY ALPHA AND SHALL RECONNOITRE OBJECTIVE LION FROM ELEVATED TERRAIN TO LOCATE SUITABLE AVENUES OF APPROACH TOWARDS SECTOR LIMA-1. UPON INSTRUCTION FROM THE FIELD LEADER, HITMAN 1 WILL MANOEUVRE INTO SECTOR LIMA-1, WITH HITMAN 2 SUPPORTING FROM A BASE OF FIRE POSITION, REGROUPING WITH HITMAN 1 AFTER THE AREA HAS BEEN CLEARED OR IF THEY REQUIRE ASSISTANCE.

PHASE 2: ALL SUBSEQUENT HITMAN MANOEUVRING FROM THIS POINT ONWARDS, WILL BE DEPENDENT ON LEVEL OF CONTACT WITH THE ENEMY AND THEIR REACTION, HITMAN PLATOON SHOULD EXPECT TO MOVE THROUGH SECTORS SEQUENTIALLY AND WITH BOTH SQUADS IN MUTUAL SUPPORT AT THE DISCRETION OF THE FIELD LEADER. OBJECTIVE PANTHER INVOLVES THE CLEARANCE OF OUTLYING AREAS AROUND THE PORT OF BEREZINO, INCLUDING A VEHICLE SUPPLY HUB WITHIN SECTOR P7. ALL UNITS WILL REGROUP AT RLY CHARLIE ONCE OBJECTIVE PANTHER HAS BEEN SECURED. PHASE 3: THIS PHASE SHALL INVOLVE THE CLEARANCE OF ALL SECTORS WITHIN THE PORT AREA OF BEREZINO, WHICH HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS OBJECTIVE CHEETAH.
