Warno

Date: 14 April 2024

Time: 2100, UTC +3
Weather: Mostly cloudy, slight chance of precipitation.

Situation:

The Rangers successfully cleared Objective Weber and Objective Blackstone of all enemy presence. Intel confirmed that the 5 of Diamonds and 4 of Spades were eliminated by the 17th Ranger Battalion on the assault on the airbase, and the 3 of Clubs and 10 of Diamonds were eliminated during the assault on the Incirkli mosque. The 82nd Airborne Division have arrived, and are conducting pacifying operations against Houthis in the area around Camp Blackstone.

An Agency interrogator arrived at the Camp a couple of hours after completion of the objective. He has determined, using the intelligence gathered by the 17th Ranger Battalion, that several high-ranking Deck of Cards targets will be meeting at a villa on the west side of Al Safyrah tonight. Other Agency assets corroborated this intelligence, and also determined that there is enemy activity at the Al Safyrah Airport.


Enemy Forces

OPFOR:

  • Supreme Political Council (Houthis)
  • Houthi-aligned Yemeni Armed Forces
  • Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP)
  • Possible Iranian military advisors

Friendly Forces

BLUFOR:

  • 17th Ranger Battalion, US Army

Civilian Considerations:


Civilians and civilian infrastructure are present all across the AO. Intelligence is unclear at best on where the average Al Rayak civilian’s loyalties lie. All targets must be Positively Identified, and damage to civilian infrastructure must be avoided if possible. Military aged males with weapons are to be considered hostile. If they drop their weapons, however, they are to be captured. Great care must be taken to ensure that only enemy infantry, vehicles, and buildings are destroyed.

Mission:


Eliminate High Value Targets at the villa in Al Safyrah. Eliminate all enemies and enemy assets at the airport to the east of Al Safyrah.

Execution:


Rangers will raid the villa on the west side of the city of Al Safyrah to find and eliminate several High Value Targets. Rangers will then assault the airport to the east, eliminate all enemy personnel, gather intelligence, and destroy all enemy vehicles and communication infrastructure, before returning to Camp Blackstone.
