OPORD

Date:

Sunday, August 22nd 2026

Time:

03:00 Local

Weather:

Clear

Situation:

The Chernarussian government has formally requested the aid of US forces following an attempted coup by a group calling themselves the New Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star.

While the coup was unsuccessful, the plot involved one Colonel Aleksandr Novotny of the Chernarussian Defence Force, a highly popular and influential figure in southern Chernarus. It’s estimated that at least three battalions of CDF forces stationed in South Zagoria are now under his command, operating under the flag of the nChDKZ.

Fighting has broken out across the country, with insurgent cells attacking government and military facilities and militia forces seizing small towns and villages. With the bulk of the CDF tied up fighting fires, they are unable to form a force large enough to decisively engage the more substantial rebellion in the south.

The Chernarussian Prime Minister has requested intervention, citing the US military’s success in defeating the ChDKZ rebellion in 2009. History seems to repeat itself.
