Warning: This mission makes reference to current events in the Ukraine/Russian conflict
SITREP:
After taking the AA site to the west of theatre we now have control of the airspace in the Ukrainian controlled area. Because of this, friendly forces have been able to link up and start the push across the country. Further south the Russians are still able to harrass friendly forces moving to liberate the populated towns by use of artillery.
Mission:
To facilitate the southern push it is vital to cut off the respupply of ammunition and logistics to the Russian units. This will be acheived by taking control of and denying the use of several key bridges by which the Russians transport vital supplies. After taking control of these bridges, we will then advance on the areas major supply hub and capture the supplies for our own use.
MAP:
Tactical Overview: The river forms a natural barrier running east – west necessitating the use of several road bridges to move supplies. These are heavily guarded with some command and control posts nearby. It is not possible at this time to destroy these bridges, so to effect denial the bridges are to be blocked by use of mines, razor wire and sandbag entrenchments. In addition, any command posts encountered are to be cleared and destroyed.
Mission Execution:
- Head NE up the main route to WP2 by the town of Brana, being mindful that the town is contested and may harbour enemy troops, mines and UXO. Continue NE to WP3.
- At WP3 turn SE to cross the bridge (OBJ1), clearing it of enemy forces. When control has been achieved, consolidate at WP4 and commence bridge denial operations.
- Proceed to WP5 then assault and clear the bridge(OBJ2) of enemy forces. To block the bridge it has been decided to ambush the next supply convoy, effectively denying the ability to use the crossing for motor vehicles.
- Proceed along the main route to WP7, then assault and clear the bridge and push straight through to clear and destroy the Logistics HQ (OBJ3), after which commence bridge denial actions (OBJ4).
- From the FUP proceed SE to the town of Sitnik, then assault and capture the Supply hub (OBJ5). The town is mostly unnoccupied as enemy forces are concentrated within the Supply hub.
