SITREP
The FKLA (Free Kekestan Liberation Army) is now several days into its Coup d’état against the Democratic Republic of Kekestan and is continuing offensive operations in the area. The denial of Fire Base X-Ray has driven the FKLA to change immediate strategic objectives.
INTEL
The home grown resistance force known as the FKLA, mostly filled with former farmers and day laborers, are motivated by the new Socialist Ideology of “a bird in hand never gathers moss” and “when the going gets tough there is light between and rock and a hard place”.
The organization’s metaphors have helped with their recruitment and are filling their ranks with newcomers. Armed with surplus Soviet style weapons and home grown tactics they continue to fight. They have limited Offensive Air capabilities and are still focused on land based attacks to secure larger areas of control.
They now know TFA is in the Operational Area and is now conducting asymmetric attacks.
There is now evidence of the use of Mines or IEDs in the area.
We believe they still have a large force that can be rallied to form a QRF.
Weather: Cool and partly cloudy with a light wind blowing to the South. No precipitation expected for the next 24 hours.
Terrain: Mostly desert environment, rolling hills to low mountain peaks, and lightly wooded areas to in our operational area.
MISSION
TFA conducts a Route Clearance and Search for a UN relief convoy that has gone missing en route to Fire Base X-Ray. TFA will follow the UN relief convoy’s route (shown by Green Dots) to clear the route, search for the missing convoy, and neutralize all enemy forces we encounter in the operational area.
EXECUTION
TFA will move by Platoon by M1230 MRAPs along Route Green Dots to Clear the Route and Search for the missing UN relief convoy en route to Fire Base X-Ray. TFA will move by Platoon and through coordination: Find, Fix and Destroy the Enemy Forces as they maneuver to the Fire Base.
TFA will operate in a combined Platoon effort to conduct a Route Clearance and Search for the missing UN relief convoy that has gone missing in route to Fire Base X-Ray. Platoon Leaders will coordinate movement and deployment plans when contact is made. TFA will continue and end operations at Fire Base X-Ray in preparations for follow on missions.

Enemy Forces
Expect the FKLA assets to be equipped with Soviet style equipment, and to be formed in traditional Platoon formations. Their equipment includes commercial type vehicles with heavy mounted Machine guns. There is now evidence of the use of Mines or IEDs in the area. We believe they still have a large force that can be rallied to form a QRF.
We expected the FKLA to fight as small units, they have been moving into the evacuated villages to secure footholds in the area to expand their power base. They still have not exhibited an established hierarchy of a chain of command, so they continue to lack comprehensive C2 in the operational area.
Friendly Forces
The legitimate Kekestan Government have evacuated the bulk of the civilian population from the operational area to safeguard them. They have directed TFA to conduct a search for the missing UN relief convoy that has gone missing in route to the Fire Base X-Ray.
The Kekestan 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 a M1230 MRAP Respawn Vehicle. Respawn is facilitated by Flag Poles at Spawn Point. Spartan will have an additional Respawn Vehicle and can be used if the Platoon Respawn Vehicle become unavailable. All Respawn Vehicles are also Arsenals.
Rations: Supplied by Kekestan Military Forces via Chicken In-A Bucket Pecking Good Meal.
