Situation:

17th Ranger Bn (Alpha, Echo) with 74th SFG & 9th Air Commando execute an airborne deep strike into Saint Kapaulio — destroy SAM SITE ALPHA & BRAVO to enable AC-130 employment, seize and exploit the Southern Airfield (destroy all CSAT assets there), and neutralize secondary Viper Bases for intel exploitation. LAPES delivery of light armor at DZ LONG STROKE.

Enemy Forces

OPFOR:

CSAT mechanized forces, integrated air defense (high probability of MANPADS + mobile SAM), EW assets, Local occupation security & QRFs.

Friendly Forces

BLUFOR:

17th Ranger Bn (Alpha & Echo) 74th SFG attachments (recon/DA/exploitation) 9th Air Commando (air insertion, LAPES, SEAD/ISR/CAS).

Civilian Considerations:

Civilians displaced in surrounding areas.

Mission:

Primary

DESTROY SAM SITE ALPHA — neutralize radar, launchers, and comms. DESTROY SAM SITE BRAVO — neutralize radar, launchers, and comms.
(Destruction of both SAM sites enables AC-130 close air support to be cleared into the area.) Seize SOUTHERN AIRFIELD — clear airfield, secure ramp/ tower/ops, exploit for intel. DESTROY ALL ASSETS / BUILDINGS / EQUIPMENT at SOUTHERN AIRFIELD — deny use and deny materiel to CSAT; recover high-value materials for exploitation.

Secondary

Destroy CSAT VIPER BASES in the southern AO and exploit for intel (documents, comms gear, HVT capture).

SITUATION

Strategic collapse across multiple theaters following Operation Iron Resolve; CSAT has operational control of large swaths and established integrated AD networks.

COMMANDER’S INTENT

Rapid airborne penetration, surgically eliminate SAM sites to permit AC-130 employment, seize and thoroughly exploit Southern Airfield for time-sensitive intel, then withdraw with high-value material and minimal exposure. Time-limited, high tempo — avoid prolonged urban hold.

Mission AO and relevant imagery:

Objectives:

Alpha Company — Assault / Primary Strike

Lead assault on SAM SITE ALPHA & assault main ramps at SOUTHERN AIRFIELD. Breach, clear, emplace demolition charges on launchers, destroy radar arrays, capture comms gear if intact. Link with 74th SFG for exploitation.

Echo Company — Support / Blocking

Secure Areas in and Around OBJ Assault/Destroy SAM SITE BRAVO if Alpha is occupied or provide fixing fires for CAS. Secure perimeter at SOUTHERN AIRFIELD and prepare demolition of remaining infrastructure.

74th Special Forces Group (Attachment)

Pathfinders: DZ/LZ marking, covert recon prior to H-hour. DA Teams: infiltration to HVT locations, capture priority personnel, exploit comms and code material. Exploitation cell: immediate triage of documents, drives, and targetable intel.

ROE
Positive ID before engagement. avoid civilian casualties if possible Prioritize the units succcess

AC-130 employment only after both SAM SITE ALPHA & BRAVO declared neutralized and SEAD confirmation received.

CONTINGENCIES

If Lapes Failes: Light Vics wil lbe Dropped Via Parachute If AC-130 denied after SAM neutralization: Continue with rotary and Fixed CAS assets
