Backed by external national entities, the separatist group calling themselves the “Freedom of Taksistans” (FOT) have gain popularity in the coming up election in Takistan. They claim their goal is to win the upcoming election, nationalise the countries natural resources, take back control of the country from foreign powers.
They are heavily backed by leftist nations and the so called “UN”. Who have moved “peace keeping” forces into the capital and the main international airport.
Through lies, corruption, and violence they have gained a popularity with the Takistaini people….

Its time to get control of the situation. The US congress has approved a small “War Prevention Force” WPF to enter the region and assist the democratic process.
Code name “framework”
Landing at night at an abandon ex-soviet air base, units of the WPF have set up security, Rearmed and refuelled for todays operation.

Friendly Forces

  • US Army WPF - “Gold Platoon”
  • Platoon Alpha, Bravo, Charlie,ENG,HMG, MMG,MAT,NB,DMT,MRT
  • Other US Army WPF elements in the region
  • Secured by allied forces.

Assets

  • 2x UH-60 Blackhawk - 12 seats: 1x pilot, 1x co-pilot, 10x passenger - callsign “Nightbird” Transport
  • 1x chinook Seats “a lot”
  • 1x A10 callsign “Falcon”
  • Various base Vics for transport (we don’t have the fuel to use them for convoys)

Enemy Forces

  • FOT “Insurgency” members
  • Tactics: Hit and run
  • Nationally back PMC
  • well equipment but not high in number

Neutral forces

  • UN Peace Keepers and Security forces.
  • We don’t believe they will be very friendly to us.
  • Civilian casualties will force them to intervene.
  • ROE- Fired If fired Upon Only

Civilians

  • Civilians present in region.
  • Civilians do carry weapons for protection
  • Do not kill any Civilians
  • ROE- Fired If fired Upon Only

Air Threat

  • UN airbase exclusion zone. They may fire SAM or send up fighters.
  • TOF - MANPADS, HMG technical, recommend using flares in A/O
  • TOF Insurgance have been known to camp on the local mountain tops

Armour threat

  • TOF - Technical, Light Armour, Medium Armour - Western surplus, eastern surplus

IED threat

  • TOF - Possible VIED.
  • So far evidence for self-detonation.
  • Most likely ditch and blow

IDF Threat

  • TOF - Possible Mortars

II Mission

Gold PLT will be required to set up and man, a security checkpoint (CP_Rhino) on the main road between 2 main villages.
The checkpoint must contain.

  • 2 gates
  • 2 guard towers
  • 1x Prison
  • 1x storage container
  • Other Defences.
  • Maybe somewhere to land a helicopter

III Execution

Commander’s Intent

  • Move quickly to secure area around CP_Rhino.
  • Set up Security
  • Build checkpoint using supplies brought in by nightbird (ACE fortify)
  • Preform inspections of Vics, search and seize weapons and arrest FOT members

Movement Plan

  • Movement using Nightbird
  • High altitude flight not advised (nightbird), due TOF in mountains and “additional interest” from UN

Fire Support

  • CAS from “Nightbird”
  • CAS from “Falcon”
  • IDF from Mortar
  • IDF 105s,
  • Must be set up in the field, location up to PLT, if they arrive in positions
  • Directed through Mortar Fire controller
  • Note Mortar must send “charge, azm and angle to 105 battery”

Optional Tasks

  • Standby for relief from other US Army WPF
  • Standby for other base construction tasks.

IV Administration / Logistics

  • Seize Weapons / Personal should be taken back to Airbase.
  • Logistics regret to infom us that engineering shovels are missing. We have sand bags and Fortification building instead.

Resupplying

  • Ammo resupply through FOB, or reinforcement vehicle.
  • Medevac through NB.

Reinforcements

  • Reinsertions will be on the hour every hour and be adhered to strictly, no deviation is allowed.
  • Reinsertions are the same for all, including vehicles teams.
  • Platoon Commander has a one time reinsertion wild card at his disposal, call this in through HQ.
  • At predesignated times, reinforcements will be sent out of the base in the smallest transport vehicle which can hold reinforcements.
  • At predesignated times, an air transport will be sent out to pick up reinforcements from the base.
  • Upon insertion to the AO, reinforcements should stick together until regrouping with the main force in the AO.

Coms/ Signals

  • High chance that UN forces will be watching with a closely with drones or recons
  • High change that foreign news reporters could be within the AO.

###Hints;

  • Engineers change >addon options>Ace Interaction Menu>Display interaction menu as list>on (otherwise the buildings will be hard to read)
  • sandbags can be taken and used by anyone, but must be on sand or grass not road …etc.
  • They can be stacked.
  • if the storage container is destoryed then the contruction budget will go down to zero.

Really good OP.

We goofed around but overall kept a game face on, personally, I had fun and I think most of us can say the same.

Good pacing, good engagements, quite challenging too.

By nature, a checkpoint doesn’t score high on a Feng shui scale but in this case, I think it would still score 7 / 10. That is, until the bodies start piling up (5 / 10) and a certain player blew up the camera van in an attempt to nudge back the rolled over Jeep (3 / 10). But then again, nothing makes an enemy tremble more than the sight of a large burning object right in the middle of their base. Overall, lots of fun if you weren’t a blue helmet, an intrusive news reporter or a reckless motorcyclist on a hillside in this mission.

Engineers could do better if we’d receive a detailed design from our engineer FTL but on the other hand, just building by a preset design makes the job more tedious and might cut short our creative capabilities (like those planks). We could’ve done a better job if we’d build a structure to provide cover from the valley.

And maybe next time, change the currency so we don’t have to wait for a helicopter to haul in a crate of Zimbabwian dollars :wink:
