OPERATION HEAVEN'S FALL

WARNO 06 – OPERATION MANHUNT

Date:
28 June 2026

Time:
0600 Local (Early Morning)

Weather:
Clear skies. Excellent visibility. Favorable conditions for both ground and aerial reconnaissance.

Situation

Operation Spearhead concluded with a hard-fought victory for the 17th Ranger Battalion and Pentastar Elite.

Following intense fighting against entrenched German forces, the battalion successfully broke through southern Niakala and secured the Sharecroppers Settlement.

Combat engineers have completed construction of a new Forward Operating Base, providing American forces with a permanent foothold inside Niakala and significantly extending operational reach into the region.

Although the objective was secured, the battle proved costly and served as a reminder that the Bundeswehr remains a determined and capable opponent.

Following their defeat, German forces conducted an organized withdrawal across the eastern side of the river, where they have begun establishing a new defensive line.

While the main German force has fallen back, the western side of the river remains unstable.

Former KDF personnel, local militia groups, and isolated resistance cells continue operating throughout the area.

American intelligence believes many surviving KDF officers successfully escaped the collapse of Kujari and are now attempting to reorganize alongside German advisors operating deeper inside Niakala.

Pentastar intelligence has identified several high-value individuals believed to be coordinating resistance activities throughout the region.

Their capture—or elimination—is now the battalion's highest priority.

Enemy Forces

OPFOR

Western Sector

Enemy forces operating west of the river are expected to consist primarily of:

Local militia forces
Former KDF soldiers
Remaining KDF command personnel
Armed resistance cells

Enemy organization is limited but they remain familiar with the terrain and capable of conducting ambushes.

Eastern Sector

Enemy forces east of the river are expected to be significantly stronger.

Expect:

Bundeswehr expeditionary units
German military advisors
Local militia auxiliaries
Former KDF personnel operating alongside German forces
Mechanized Quick Reaction Forces

Enemy resistance will increase significantly once crossing the river.

High Value Targets

Pentastar intelligence has identified multiple individuals believed to be coordinating enemy operations.

Priority targets include:

Escaped KDF Officers
Former KDF Command Personnel
German Military Advisors
German Intelligence Personnel

Current intelligence includes photographs and identification packets for all known HVTs.

Capture is preferred whenever practical.

Friendly Forces

Civilian Considerations

Civilian settlements remain occupied throughout Niakala.

Militia forces frequently operate from within villages and rural compounds.

Positive identification of HVTs remains critical.

Mission

The 17th Ranger Battalion will conduct a series of targeted raids throughout Niakala to locate, capture, or eliminate escaped KDF officers and German military advisors responsible for organizing continued resistance against American occupation forces.

Operations will be intelligence driven and conducted against confirmed enemy locations.

Execution

Phase I – Intelligence Collection

Utilize Preconnaissance assets to identify HVT locations.

Review intelligence photographs before deployment.

Phase II – Direct Action Raids

Conduct rapid assaults against identified enemy compounds, outposts, and meeting locations.

Capture HVTs whenever practical.

Eliminate hostile resistance encountered during raids.

Phase III – Exploitation

Recover intelligence materials.

Search compounds.

Destroy enemy communications equipment.

Withdraw before organized enemy reinforcements arrive.

Commander's Intent

We broke their army.

We drove them from Kujari.

We crossed into Niakala.

We established our foothold.

Now the enemy hides behind rivers, villages, and safe houses.

They believe distance and secrecy will protect them.

They are mistaken.

We are no longer fighting for ground.

We are hunting the men attempting to rebuild this war.

Find them.

Bring them back in restraints.

Or make certain they never command another battlefield.
