by Capt. RedWeasel. Mission date Friday 10th January 2025, 19:00 GMT

SITREP

The FIA (Friendly Insurgent Association) Forces have moved their Operations Command and Control (C2) node to Colombia. With this move, the FIA have joined forces with some Centralized Socialist Authoritarian Traditionalists (CSAT) Officers. CSAT has provided a Training cadre and new equipment. They have moved to the Castle facility and are currently assembling a force to extend their projection of force onto neighboring islands. Intelligence predicts that once they have concluded their updated training, they plan to move swiftly to strike across the local islands using the updated equipment and tactics.

INTEL

The FIA C2 node and CSAT officers are most likely being protected by an advanced security force in the heart of the Castle Keep. It is assumed they have tiered defensive for the castle. We expect they have limited Air Defense capabilities and are focused more on defending against a land based attack at this time. We also have gathered information about the disposition of forces on the North that most likely will act as a QRF once they are under attack. The FIA does not know TFA is in the operational Area.

There is no known use of Mines or IEDs in the area.

QRF Strength is expected to two (2) Infantry Companies.

Weather: Cool and partly cloudy with a light wind blowing to the East. No precipitation expected for the next 24 hours.

Terrain: Island Paradise, rolling hills to mountain peaks, and lightly wooded areas to triple canopy jungle, in our operational area.

MISSION

TFA conducts a Deliberate Attack on the FIA CSAT Castle Strong Hold.

EXECUTION

TFA will move by Platoon via CH47. Following Route Black Arrow the Platoons will utilize the designated LZs marked by BLUE and RED smoke.

TFA will then move by Platoon to Platoon assigned Attack Positions then on command: Find, Fix and Destroy the Enemy Officers. Once the Primary Objective is completed TFA will withdraw to our airfield Assembly Area in preparation for continued operations as required by the Colombia Military Forces.

TFA will operate in a combined Platoon effort to find, fix and destroy the Castle Keep. Platoon Leaders will coordinate movement and attack plans as they move into sector.

Enemy Forces

FIA with CSAT assets are expected to be well trained and better equipped than the last few times we have encountered them, they have had several units that have been brought in by the CSAT Officers; Intelligence assumes they have former Special Operations Soldiers most likely armed with their standard kit. They are considered a well-trained force in small unit tactics and equipment with what they consider the best equipment available. They have a number of HMG mounted Technicals and have formed into traditional Infantry Squads and Platoons.

We expected the FIA CSAT to continue to fight as small units, they continue to prepare for and expect a preemptive attack.

Friendly Forces

The Colombia Military Forces have evacuated the bulk of the civilian population to safeguard them. They have directed TFA to conduct a deliberate attack on the Castle Keep.

The Colombia Military Force will continue to secure the operational area and provide Intelligence to TFA as it becomes available.

TFA Equipment

Full Arsenals are available.

Each Platoon is equipped with a CH47 as Platoon Respawn Vehicle. Facilitated by Flag Poles at Spawn Point. Spartan has a UH60 and can be used if the Platoon Respawn Vehicle. All Respawn Vehicles are also Arsenals.

Rations: MRE, Meal 17 – Maple Pork Sausage Patty.
