OPORD
I Situation:
Republic of Ruegen has faced a large amount of internal strife in the past few years due to worsening relations between the different ethnicities that it is comprised of. While the fluctuations in the internal stability are nothing new for this small Northern European republic, the current crisis dwarfs all others.
After months of protests and increasingly violent demonstrations by the minority Eastean population, a leader of the more diplomatic and moderate wing of the Eastean Democratic Party (EDP) was killed in a car accident while returning home from a protest in the nations capital city. Immediately, the war hawks of the extremist EDP wing capitalized on the tragedy and succeeded in convincing the Eastean minority that the leaders death was orchestrated by the current Republic leadership in an attempt to supress the demonstrations.
Eastean part of the Republics army partially declared their separation from the Republic and the birth of the new Republic of Eeastean people in the North Eastern corner of Reugen. While that in itself could be commendable, their following persecution of all non-Eastean ethnicites and shelling of the surrounding towns is most certainly not.
Due to the collapse of the Republic of Reugen Army, Task Force Noctem has been asked to move in and bring order to chaos. The newly former Eastean Army is highly trained, superbly equiped, and immensely motivated.
Friendly Forces:
- Task Force Noctem: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, MMG, DGR, NTB, FAL, DMT, ENG
Assets:

Enemy Forces:
- Eastan Army
- Mix of old Soviet and modern NATO equipment, small but effective fighting force
Civilians:
- Light civilian presence
II Mission:
Main objective is to capture and hold the old submarine base on the Western edge of Eastan territory. Eeastan Army is using this base as a staging point from where they are planning to capture the only Reugen oil refinery, thus severely impacting the Republics ability to defend itself.
Main objective is heavily fortified and defended by the majority of the Eeastan Army. That leaves the other parts of Eastan territory susceptible for strikes of small special forces. Additionally, Eeastan Army will have to divert a part of its forces to investigate the attacks and patrol its back lines, leaving the main objective more vulnerable.
TFN HQ has identified several vulnerable positions in the Eeastan territory. Hitting any of them will severely impact the Eastan ability to wage war and will affect their behaviour when it comes to defending the submarine base.
