Situation

{Placeholder}Last week’s operation was marked by unintended consequences. While the 17th and the 9th initially achieved its objectives, an unfortunate breakdown in communication led to the accidental destruction of the SCUD missile launchers near Al Tabqah. The intention was to capture the launchers intact, but the order was miscommunicated from command, and the kill order was mistakenly passed instead of a capture order. The resulting detonation of the launchers crippled CSAT's long-range strike capabilities but triggered a harsh CSAT retaliation.

Since the SCUD launchers' destruction, CSAT forces have heavily fortified Al Tabqah, making it the focal point of their defense, primarily due to the port’s strategic importance. The Al Tabqah Port has become a vital artery for CSAT’s logistical operations, acting as a key node for bringing in reinforcements, supplies, and potentially advanced weaponry, including the technology rumored to be capable of sinking a carrier.

Additionally, Kareem, our trusted local informant, has revealed that Shapur Pai, the newly appointed Minister of Defense, is in direct contact with an unknown third party in Al Tabqah, involving the development of a weapon of mass destruction. This weapon is rumored to have the ability to sink a carrier, which would have disastrous implications for regional power dynamics.

Area of Operation (AO):

{Placeholder}

Forces in Play:

Opfor:

• {Placeholder}CSAT - Europe

Most Likely Course of Action:
Defense in place where possible.

Most Deadly Course of Action:
Naval interception or massed air attack to counteract SAM batteries.

Civilian Considerations:
Present throughout the AO. Any injured civilians are to be medically treated using BASIC BANDAGES. All civilian vehicles and dwellings are to be spared when at all possible. Killing civilians, destroying their property, or not treating them will give rise to potential IEDs and rebel forces arrayed against us.
Local sentiment is at all time low and we can expect IEDs and guerilla attacks on our forces at held locations and in support of CSAT

POW's:
Any and all POWs are to be sought when a location has been captured. A killed POW has the same effect as a killed civilian. First use a ZIPTIE on surrendered forces, then use ACE interact to move the prisoner and transport them to a FOB main building. THIS MUST BE A PRIORITY LOGI TASK! No POWs are to be left for pickup as they despawn. Best efforts shall be made to arrange pickup or keep POWs with the unit until pickup can be arranged.

Execution:

Weekly Operational Plan for Sector Ironwake

24/7 Operations

Maintain civilian reputation through humanitarian efforts, while also reinforcing the local populace's trust. Finish clearing Sector Phantom Current and Sector Sapphire Reach, ensuring full control and securing a defensible perimeter. Begin operations in Sector Ironwake to make inroads into CSAT's northern and western defenses, laying the groundwork for future objectives. Midweek Operation:

Liberate Ma’arat and surrounding CSAT-held river territory in Sector Phantom Current. Secure the Military Water Storage site to unlock access to M109A6 Paladin SPGs, a critical asset for Saturday's strike.

Saturday's Operation:

Strike Al Tabqah, targeting the port, Huski Oil, the construction site, and the eastern suburbs. Retake or interdict Al Vegh airfield, focusing on capturing an incoming transport aircraft and its payload/intel.

This week we need to finish cutting off the 3 remaining enemy Sectors from each other. On Saturday we MUST move hard and fast. When the aircraft is detected on radar swift disengagement and redeployment is key.

Objectives:Responsibilities:

• {Placeholder}Alpha

Direct action on enemy forces CQB Recon best approaches and enemy defenses preop Be ready for QRFs Anti air duties Work to establish TRPs for fire missions along axis of advance Echo

Resupply crates can be created from the 17th arsenal box which is a buildable item at a FOB

Call in all advancing enemy formations and vehicles for situational awareness Be wary of enemy air and AA as the threat level increases

All Asset initiated fire missions shall be passed through JTAC to Alpha/Echo CO for approval unless engaging on free fire runs

Advise JTAC when going in on free fire targets Free fire on MBTs within 1 km of Batt. unless a tank is within range to assist Free Fire on BMPs, BTRs within 1 km of Batt. with precise munitions unless a tank is within range to assist

Direct support via CAS and Artillery platforms Logistics for the FOB, supplies, POWs and resupplies Provide ISR CAS ROE

CONOP:

• Phase 0: PreOp 1730 CST
• COs/XOs finalize remaining details if any
• Reevaluate Sector and Weekly progress

Take into account any changes or intel NCO meeting to disseminate plan Finalize slotting

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 Overview of JIPs:

Initial spawn in at the Carrier for OP start

Echo will need to stage at FOB Alpha Respawn at the Carrier for reinsert via air Be on the lookout for intel again that could lead to any information on Pai's meeting or the weapons systems being brought in or already in theater

Phase II: Prep 1905 CST

Alpha preps kits with basic needs and AA

Go light as we will be RTB for resupply Echo finalizes flight paths and LZ in coordination with Alpha

Phase III: Stepoff to LZ REDWAKE and OBJ BREAKPOINT 1915 CST

Alpha will utilize Gunboats as Echo uses landing craft to establish a beachhead on a point SW of OBJ Battalion will either push through or around enemy forces depending on composition determined by fortifications and troop strength

• Phase IV: OBJ QUIET TIDE
• Work to take and secure the port as well as the city

Seek intel and VIPs if we manage to happen across any meetings of CSAT and Pai if they haven't already exfiled Alpha will need to recon and designate positions to bunker up within the city for when the aircraft due at OBJ WINGTRAP appears on radar

Echo will need to be on the lookout and pass down this info Echo will also transport 1 squad to the airfield to CAPTURE the plain and its cargo/intel

LZ to be decided in op The remaining squad and elements will hold with possible advance depending on factors at that time

• Phase V: OBJ WINGTRAP
• Retake the airfield near Al Vegh or at minimum take control of, search, and document any intel on the aircraft due that day

This OBJ will see a squad redeployed quickly so the aircraft cannot depart before we get to it. They will then rejoin to continue the liberation of Al Tabqah

• Phase VI: OBJ CRIMSON FLOW, IRON LEDGER, PALE SHELTER
• Continue the clearance of Al Tabqahs outlying area and seek intel where possible

Phase VII: RP/AAR

• All units prepare for debrief.
