Operation order

Situation

Background Information

Due to Intel collected in the last few SF deployments, we now have a firm grasp on the Resistance presence in one of the bigger cities of the region, Ubomo. We are ordered to re-capture leaving us with more foothold on the Northern side of the region, if successful. The Enemy is expected to fight Tooth and Nail to keep this major city, so we expect heavy resistance outside Ubomo, due to this, we've deployed A-10 tank killers, and additional anti-vehicle support at the platoon level. We've also organised for high-altitude UAV for command reconnaissance and special forces teams will be conducting raids to weaken the enemy footing.

Friendly Forces

1x Infantry Platoon
1x Special Forces Section
2x A-10C
1x HQ Element
1x Support Element

Enemy Forces

Resistance held military installations and built up areas, including those with civilian presence. Chance of lightly armoured vehicles and possible chance of armoured or heavy armoured vehicles or emplacements.

When overwhelmed, the enemy is expected to reposition to the southern peninsula, via the land bridge.

Mission

Tasking

Force the resistance to reposition to the southern peninsula by taking their Outpost (Obj Rho) and Training Facility (Obj Phi/Lambda) and occupying the border town of Uborno.

- MAIN OBJECTIVE - Various strategic positions in Oborno to be captured and held.
- SPECIAL OBJECTIVES - Exfil HVT, secure intel and destroy gun boats
- OPTIONAL OBJECTIVES - Capture resistance port.
- OBJ RHO - Resistance Combat Outpost (Reinforced perimiter)
- OBJ PHI - Resistance CQB training area
- OBJ LAMBDA - Resistance outdoor training area

End-state

Hold Uborno and the Uborno Landbridge.

Execution

Commander's Intent

The purpose of this mission is to push the remaining western resistance further south by assaulting two of their key military positions, aiding any civilians encountered on route. To prepare for future operations, a special forces element will infiltrate the southern peninsula and weaken key positions and garnish intelligence. Then our forces will regroup on the Ubomoland bridge, having pushed all resistance from the area of operations.
