SITREP
The FIA (Friendly Insurgent Association) Forces and Centralized Socialist Authoritarian Traditionalists (CSAT) Officers have retreated to their last Bastian the “Castille La Victoria”. Intelligence claims the Enemy General Staff is located within the Castle; all remaining forces have withdrawn into the keep.
INTEL
The FIA and CSAT forces are most likely in a disarray due to its major losses with these last two missions. We expect they have limited Air Defense capabilities and are still focused on defending against a land based attack. They know TFA must cross the waterway to gain access to the Operational Area and is preparing for the expected attack.
There is no known use of Mines or IEDs in the area, however we expect they have mined to South Eastern beaches for area denial.
We do not believe they have any remaining forces for QRF.
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 “Castille La Victoria” to find, fix and destroy all enemy forces and ensure the enemy General Staff is neutralized.
EXECUTION
TFA will move by Platoon via Assault Boat following Route Green Arrow. The Platoons will utilize the designated LZs marked by BLUE and RED smoke.
TFA will then move by Platoon to assigned Sectors and through coordination: Find, Fix and Destroy the Enemy Forces. When the Enemy Forces are neutralized, TFA will consolidate and execute Assembly Area operations in the vicinity enemy C2 node, and prepare on for continued operations as required by the Colombia Military Forces.
TFA will operate in a combined Platoon effort to find, fix and destroy the Enemy Forces and ensure we locate and neutralize the Enemy General Staff. Platoon Leaders will coordinate movement and attack plans as they move into sector.
Once landfall is made Platoons will move forward deliberately using the available cover, mindful that as soon as the attack is initiated we expect an enemy force to try to outflank us and encapsulate us in a pincer maneuver. Recommend the movement be done by bounding by Platoon, to close on and occupy positions at least at PL Crossroad before engaging.
With only one Castle Gate, TFA is faced with a hard fight to gain access to the interior of the Keep. Be prepared to use AT if the Gate is secured by BRDMs.
RECONNAISSANCE PHOTOS
Enemy Forces
FIA with CSAT assets have demonstrated they are well equipped with modern equipment, and regardless of the presence of former Special Operations Soldiers they have overwhelming numbers. The equipment identified includes Zu23/2s, BRDMs, and Ural Transport Trucks. We have seen a number of HMGs and witnessed the generous use of RPGs. They are in traditional Infantry Squads and Platoons.
We expected the FIA CSAT to continue to fight as small units, they continue to prepare for and expected a deliberate attack. It is expected a force will exit the Castle once the fight begins to try to flank and catch TFA in a pincher movement.
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 remaining enemy forces.
The Colombia Military Force will continue to secure the operational area and provide Intelligence to TFA as it becomes available.
TFA Equipment
Limited Arsenals are available.
Each Platoon is provided an Assault Boat Respawn Vehicle. Respawn is facilitated by Flag Poles at Spawn Point. Spartan will travel independently and will have an additional Respawn Vehicle and can be used if the Platoon Respawn Vehicle become unavailable. All Respawn Vehicles are also Arsenals.
Rations: MRE, Meal 03 – Chicken, Egg Noodles, and Vegetables in Sauce.
