Situation

“Polite, thorough, and terminal — all accounts will be reviewed.”

Following the trench-belt breaches and maritime interdictions of Operation Fullhouse, actionable intelligence has identified a critical Vympel 322 logistics summit at a small port/office facility east of Kirkonkyla—designated OBJ IRON. Confirmed HVTs include the Black Joker Jari Vainio (shadow advisor and logistics/liaison), Queen of Diamonds Irina Markova (cash-to-arms conduits), Jack of Diamonds Oleg Denisov (truck/rail node manager), and Ace of Diamonds Ivan Gusev (maritime smuggler). The site is lightly garrisoned with static MG positions and has IED risk along approach routes; residual CSAT EW activity and the potential for maritime reinforcement complicate tempo and insertion/exfil options. Friendly elements task Alpha Company as the night-raid assault force on OBJ IRON, with 74th SFG establishing and holding the southern isolation checkpoint and serving as QRF/feinting element for the subsequent Kirkonkyla clear; Echo Company provides perimeter security, transport, and extraction support while Engineers/EOD, SIGINT/ELINT, and UAV ISR enable rapid SSE and exploitation. The operational imperative this week is a rapid, decisive night seizure of Vympel 322’s logistics leadership and sensitive materiel at OBJ IRON—preferably capturing HVTs alive—followed immediately by a Kirkonkyla clearance to deny sanctuary and exploit detainees and records. Actions must be synchronized to prevent enemy reinforcement or maritime exfiltration, preserve chain-of-custody for materiel, and limit civilian casualties where feasible; however, commanders are authorized overwhelming force to ensure mission success and force protection.

Seize the logistics leadership at OBJ IRON in a single, decisive night action; capture the books and the men who keep them, then roll straight into Kirkonkyla to deny any refuge. Do this fast, do this clean — force protection and exploitation of captured materiel are paramount; accept no delay and give the enemy no room to breathe.

All personnel shall refer to the detailed update in the Warno for additional lore and details.
