Opord

Situation

With the GAF's air defenses and major fortifications taken out, the enemy is starting to get desperate. We have reports that a GAF and LSF officer will be holding a secret meeting with a Russian VDV officer at a nearby base. They are presumably making deals with the Devil in an attempt to maintain any control over the region. However, this has given us a golden opportunity swoop in and cut the head off of this snake.

Area of Operation (AO):

Forces in Play:

Opfor:

• Gorzovia Armed Forces (GAF)
• Livonia Separatist Militia (LSM)

Engagement Criteria:

All civilians have evacuated the region, but damage to civilian infrastructure should be avoided where possible.

Mission:

The 17th has been tasked with taking out 3 key officers, extracting their bodies, and razing the base upon exfil.

Execution:

• Alpha and a RRC Sniper team will attack the enemy base via an Air Assault with echo support, including an armed Blackfish. (Note: A convoy may instead be conducted if we lack the pilots needed to perform an Air Assault)
• Alpha and the RRC team will locate, identify, and KILL all 3 HVTs
• After the base has been secured, Alpha will secure and bag the HVTs' bodies. Additionally, Alpha will wire as many demo blocks as they can throughout the base
• Once the body bags are secured, Alpha will exfil from the AO. During extract, all demo blocks will be detonated. Any structures that remain standing will be demolished by the armed Blackfish. Leave nothing standing.

Objectives:

1. Raid enemy base via Air Assault
2. Kill 3 HVTs (GAF, LSM, and VDV officers)
3. Extract HVTs' bodies from AO (BRING BODY BAGS), and destroy base
