Warno

Date: 17 April 2024

Time: 0230, UTC +3
Weather: Mostly cloudy. Slight chance of precipitation

Situation:

FOB Perch has been established between the villages of Darkhush and Batiyah. Although some insurgent camps were cleared in the surrounding hills, some still remain and we estimate that they are still active. The Agency has confirmed that several members of the Deck of Cards were eliminated in yesterday's operation. We are delighted at the progress that the Rangers have made in the short time you have spent in country.

Enemy Forces

OPFOR:
  • Houthis
  • Houthi-aligned Yemeni Armed Forces
  • AQAP
  • Iranian military advisors

Friendly Forces

BLUFOR:
  • 17th Ranger Battalion, US Army
  • 160th SOAR

Civilian Considerations:

Intel believes that the inhabitants of Bakhdia have been forcibly relocated, but there are still prisoners held in the village. After rescuing civilians in Elkorum and Ma'Arat, we can hope that the present mild antagonism of the civilians toward us will improve, especially if we can free the humanitarian aid workers. Rules of engagement remain as such: all military aged males in army uniform are to be considered hostile. All others are to be engaged only if fired upon.

Mission:

We have another job for you: the Houthis have taken prisoners, including at least one American, from an IDAP humanitarian convoy. We believe it is their intention to move them out of Al Rayak and use as a bargaining chip in a potential peace deal. It would be a shame if some Rangers were to rescue these prisoners. They, we believe, are being held in Bakhdia. Find them, free them, and transport them to Camp Blackstone. Be quick, careful, and as quiet as possible as the enemy may try to eliminate the prisoners rather than allow them to be rescued. Additionally, if possible, we want the Rangers to clear Dayr Hafir and its suburbs to clear the way for a future IDAP humanitarian mission.

Execution:

Rangers shall assault and clear Bakhdia of enemy forces and shall find and rescue the IDAP prisoners. The prisoners shall be interrogated for intel before being evacuated to Camp Blackstone. Clear Dayr Hafir of enemies and return to FOB Perch.
