OPORD

Date:

August 1st, 2026

Time:

Morning

Weather:

Mostly clear/cloudy

Situation:

Following the use of multiple tactical nuclear weapons in Farabad and the subsequent land grab for natural resources in Africa, the 17th Ranger Battalion have been called upon by the nearby neighboring island region of Sahrani, which due to the global chaos and loss of international control by NATO, has been taken control of by the Karzeghistan Royal Guard. Almost the entire civilian population took up arms to fight against the invasion but most either lost their lives or were captured. Very few groups of the rebellion still exist but they have called for aid in exchange for the use of their island and 80% of their natural resources, so long as they get their livelihoods back.

This is only a small portion of the entirety of the Karzeghistan Royal Guard and they are not directly being commanded by Padishah Rustam III. Instead their commander is a foreign beneficiary believed to have distant ties to Cosa Nostra (The Sicilian/American Mafia) who made his wealth through the mining and manufacturing of rare earth minerals. His name is Rigatoni Jones. He has grown close to Padishah Rustam III through an advisory role in making the use of Karzeghistan's own rare earth mineral mines.

At the moment, the only information the rebellion could provide was a location being used to communicate with Karzeghistan forces off-island and highly suggested no-fly zones.

Area of Operation (AO):

AO with marked no fly zones, OBJ Penne, and FOB Lasagna which is where we will start

Forces in Play:

OPFOR:
  • Karzeghistan Royal Guard (KRG)
Most Likely Course of Action:

Units are able to secure the Bagango TV station and destroy all equipment including their air defense in the area. This will allow for friendly troops to reinforce quickly and enable CAS to operate in the AO. Once this is done, we will await further instructions and move as necessary.

Most Deadly Course of Action:

Units are unable to secure a foothold and are eliminated. Friendly CAS tries to provide support to alleviate ground pressure and is destroyed by enemy AA presence.

BLUFOR:
  • 17th Ranger Battalion
Independent:
  • All civilians took up arms to fight back against the Karzeghistan Royal Guard but were defeated. Remaining rebels are sparse.

Engagement Criteria:

Engage all threats. We only need Rigatoni Jones alive if possible. Everyone else is to be killed

Mission:

A modest FOB has been established on the east coast of Sahrani. However, due to the main conflict currently occurring in Africa the 17th Ranger Battalion do not have access to their usual assortment of equipment and vehicles. The rebellion have provided their only remaining vehicles and while outdated, it will have to do.

We are to not bring anything above a LAT and Echo is restricted to GAU-19 Hueys and M113s. Our equipment is limited due to operating in a separate region on supplies provided by independent forces.

Execution:

The battalion will proceed to OBJ Penne to clear out and destroy all vehicles/equipment being held there to prevent any larger forces being brought in from off-island. More objectives are sure to follow but this is currently the only information we have. Always be on the lookout for Rigatoni Jones, we have no image of him but we MUST take him alive.

Objectives:
  1. OBJ Penne
    • Assault Bagango TV Station.
      • KRG have strong air defense at the TV Station.
      • Recommend if inserting by helicopter that pilots makes good use of the terrain and make their LZ's a safe distance away for ground forces to proceed on-foot.
    • Destroy all equipment (including radio towers, transformers, etc).
    • Destroy all enemy vehicles.
  2. Await further instruction.
CONOP:
  • Phase 0:
    • Load in and kit up. Adjust for lighter equipment and bring old timey optics if you wanna support the feeling of the operation.
  • Phase 1: Briefing
    • All units gather round for briefing from Okami.
  • Phase 3: Preparation
    • Units will load up in M113s, overflow to go in Hueys for further transport.
  • Phase 4: OBJ Penne
    • Units will assault OBJ Penne with support from M113s and Hueys if available. There is a strong air defense screen so this might be unlikely. Units are to destroy all enemy equipment and vehicles.
  • Phase 5: Further OBJs to be informed as intel is gathered
    • Await further instructions
  • Phase 6: RP/AAR
    • All units prepare for debrief.
