Situation

Following our success in the City of Lingering Shadows, we secured key intel, inflicted heavy losses on enemy forces, and established a FOB west of Al Quisa. However, insurgents are now mobilizing for coordinated strikes, CSAT is reinforcing the Sons of Rayak, and ICBM convoys have been spotted moving northeast.

At the center of this escalation is Shapur Pai, a rising power filling Mosood’s void. His strategic moves mirror Tyrone’s influence, but we lack definitive proof. If Pai’s role in this war runs deeper, exposing it could be key to unraveling our larger mystery.

This week, we will retake lost ground and secure Sector Phantom Current, then launch a midweek offensive on Al Quisa and Dayr Hafir to set the stage for our Saturday convoy operation. Our final goal: establishing FOB Himmel’s Legacy deep in enemy territory as a forward staging point for future artillery strike missions. Expect fortified resistance, QRFs, and logistical challenges—our next moves will determine control of the region.

Area of Operation (AO):

{Placeholder}

Forces in Play:

Opfor:

• CSAT - Europe

Most Likely Course of Action:
Concerted efforts to delay or block our advance in the Sector.

Most Deadly Course of Action:
Heavy air and armored interception of the convoy and destruction of the 17th while en route.

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.

Weekly Operational Plan for Sector Phantom Current

• 24/7 Operations – Retake lost ground and fully secure the remainder of Sector Sapphire Reach, ensuring CSAT and insurgent forces have no chance to regroup.

We lost Jableh and other areas. Secure sectors

• Midweek Operations – A two-phase offensive:
  • OBJ CITY OF WHISPERING SHADOWS - Seize Al Quisa, its base, and fuel storage, denying enemy forces a critical logistics hub and giving us access A-10
  • OBJ METAL SANCTUARY - Secure key locations northwest and south of Dayr Hafir to prepare for our next major push.
• Saturday Operation – Conduct a high-risk convoy operation upriver to establish a FOB deep in enemy territory, providing a critical stepping-off point for future search-and-destroy missions against CSAT artillery bases.
  • OBJ AURA'S BOUNTY
  • OBJ FORSAKEN PURE
  • OBJ SANCTUM OF THE FALLEN
  • OBJ PASSING REQUIEM
  • OBJ LAST REFUGE

Expect entrenched resistance, enemy counterattacks, and logistical challenges as we push further into hostile territory. The success of this week’s operation will define our ability to project force and disrupt enemy operations beyond Sector Sapphire Reach—while bringing us one step closer to unraveling the mystery behind Tyrone’s influence.
