Opord

Date:

Monday, May 4th, 2026

Time:

04:45 (Dawn)

Weather:

Clear

Situation:

An open line of communication has already been established with the Children of Azar, and we will be providing military aid to the insurgency. After a brief pitched battle between naval forces, we have destroyed their garrison fleet in the Persian Gulf and have managed to open a corridor for some supplies to be delivered to the mainland via air. A Forward Operating Base has already been established near Farabad Port, designated Scorpion. The remainder of allied ships are keeping a wide berth from the mainland, defending against potential air assets and anti-ship missiles. We have been sent in to liberate Farabad and to pacify the region, bringing an end to Res Publica.

Area of Operation (AO):

DirectiveFirewall8OpordAO.png

Forces in Play:

OPFOR:
  • Res Publica (RP)
    • Composition: motorized, marines
  • Farabad Regional Army (FRA)
    • An army built from second-rate Iranian equipment left over throughout the years, the FRA still remain well trained and equipped as a defense force over Farabad.
    • Composition: mechanized, armored
Most Likely Course of Action:

All objectives completed and the eastern side of Farabad is open for COA to begin their own insurgency operations against RP and FRA. Minimul civilian casualties and minimul damage to civilian homes and infrastructure potentially provides more support to COA.

Most Deadly Course of Action:

All friendlies are killed and all assets shot down. Officer evacuates and VIP is killed. Full retreat from Farabad.

BLUFOR:
  • 17th Ranger Battalion
  • 9th Air Commando Group
  • Insurgency Fighters - Children of Azar (COA)
    • An insurgency brewed from Res Publica's experimentation on the people of Farabad. Through armed revolt, their goals are to remove Res Publica from the region, dismantle the Farabad Regional Army, and to establish a new government under Iraq's jurisdiction. They possess an extensive network of informants throughout Farabad, providing us key intel for our operations.
    • Underequipped, using mostly repurposed Land Rovers and Hiluxes.

Engagement Criteria:

PID and engage RP and FRA forces. The region is an active combat zone with civilians present throughout the region. Avoid causing unnecessary damage to non-military targets. The Children of Azar would benefit from increased numbers to join their ranks throughout this campaign.

Check fire around surrounding mountains, friendly sniper teams are providing support.
