Mission:

Execution:

The 17th is going for the heads of this 2 headed snake. The leader of the Ultranationalists, Milan Kostadinovic (Codenamed PESTILENCE) and StratCom of Ultranationalist Forces Col. Ivan Gajic (Codename BUTCHER). The enemy lines are well fortified so a direct punch through is not an option since PESTILENCE and BUTCHER are flight risks. As such we will be doing what Rangers do best. Going in their backfield and walking up to their doorstep to take them on an all expense trip paid to the Hague. BUTCHER will be up first, followed by PESTILENCE, along with any new missions that come about based on intel we find at their HQ and Party Headquarters respectively.

Objectives:

• OBJ BUTCHER
  • Secure and capture HVT BUTCHER
    • Kill only if necessary to prevent escape

CONOP:

• Phase 0: PreOp 1730 CST

  • COs/XOs finalize remaining details if any
  • NCO meeting to disseminate plan
  • Slotting
  • 1845 CAS pilots and JTAC enter server to begin ISR and preplan airstrikes on the LZ and/or enemy positions

• Phase I: Brief 1900 CST

  • BCO will give final overview and expectations
  • COs will brief vehicle commanders and squad leaders of final tweaks and expectations/needs

Overall AO

• Phase II: Prep 1905 CST

  • Alpha kits and organizes then use teleport pole to the Port for landing in the East of the AO
  • COs use ISR from CAS and JTAC to finalize movement and order of battle
  • UGV prepped to move out and loaded with munitions

• Phase III: HVT BUTCHER 1915 CST

OBJ MAP

• • Dependent on ISR and enemy presence near LZs Echo will lay waste to any opposition to the landings beginning 30 seconds prior to arrival of the Ospreys
  • Alpha will move to the foothills above the objective and take whatever path offers best access to the HVT
    • Utilize CAS for precision strikes on hard and armored targets
    • Alpha CO discretion on approach
  • Echo will prevent any and all QRF into Buty once Alpha is engaged
  • Secure HVT and call for extract
    • Kill if seen trying to flee
  • Search for intel and respond to any secondary OBJs if possible
  • Determine if resupply is needed
  • Determine if marching to HVT PESTILENCE or reorient via air

• Phase IV: HVT PESTILENCE

OBJ MAP

• • Whether marching or redeploying via air, Echo will provide a safe corridor for Alpha to operate in preventing any encroaching enemy forces or alerting to their presence
  • Care must be made to keep an eye on or destroy the potential escape vehicles of the Hueys or C130
  • ISR should be conducted again for enemy positions and preplanned strikes to clear a hole for Alpha to get in
  • Alpha CO discretion on approach
  • Secure HVT and call for extract
    • Kill if seen trying to flee
  • Search for intel and respond to any secondary OBJs if possible
