After the coup supported by the Easter Coalition started in this region of Czechia, NATO has managed to establish a foothold in the region for future military operations. This has allowed the bringing in of additional assets.
While the enemies have been weakened and sent into a retreat, there are still many pockets of hostile activity. Many are still regrouping or trying to secure their supplies to pack them up. NATO is now trying to use the chaos to their advantage to push the enemies out of the region and cause as much damage as possible.

OPORD

I Situation

After the success of Operation Forest Watch our troops have cleared our side of the river from hostile combatants allowing us to move further north west to push the enemies back. We have a few areas of interest, which were used as bases of operation for the hostiles. We are to use the chaos to push the enemies out without the destruction of the military assets of our ally’s land.

Friendly Forces

  • US Army, mainly the Stryker brigade combat team (SBCT)
  • PLT, A, B, C, ENG, HAT, DGR, NB
  • HIMARS available from base, resupply/reinsertion vehicles available at base. PLT has UAV.

Assets

  • 2x M1127 Stryker (M2/LRAS3) - 11 seats: 1x driver, 1x commander, 9x passenger - Recon variant
  • 2x M1126 Stryker (M2) - 11 seats: 1x driver, 1x commander/gunner, 9x passenger
  • 2x M1126 Stryker (Mk19) - 11 seats: 1x driver, 1x commander/gunner, 9x passenger
  • 1x M2A3 (BUSK III) - 9 seats: 1x driver, 1x commander, 1x gunner, 6x passenger
  • 1x AH-64D - 2 seats: 1x pilot, 1x gunner

Enemy Forces

  • Local National Party Rebels and Easter Coalition troops.
  • Rebels armed with mostly Soviet era equipment, Easter Coalition has modern equipment but they are in smaller numbers as a supportive force.

Civilians

  • Civilians have been evacuated from the area in most places, but some rural or stubborn local may have remained.

II Mission

Our unit is to capture and clear a few key areas of the region of hostile forces to push them out for good. Thanks to being able to bring in more assets, we are going in with more firepower than during the last operation. Clearing the castle is highest priority, with the hostile FOB second, the Old Airfield just needs to be taken out of the equation.

III Execution

Commander’s Intent

  • Clear out the various objectives
  • Organise the manoeuvres of the various elements
  • Once the objectives have been cleared out, you are to RTB.

Movement Plan

  • Movement down to Platooon.
  • Hostiles might be present in other locations than the objectives.

Fire Support

  • HIMARS is available via HQ.

Optional Tasks

  • Gather any intelligence for additional targets.
  • Look for friendly unit who we have lost contact with.

IV Administration / Logistics

  • Secure any surrendered hostiles for transport.

Resupplying

  • Ammo resupply available in the FOB.
  • Medevac available at FOB.

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 can 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.

Ladies and Germs, please see below for my suggested tactical plan for tonights OP. Feel free and give it a look!

Great Planning, worked like a charm and acting as PLT SGT/JTAC for you was a BLAST.

As a small nitpick I’d like to have the photos of the different objectives with the map lines on the Scheme of Manouvre, instead on the ANNEX part on the bottom side of the tactical plan PDF.
