SITREP
The FKLA (Free Kekestan Liberation Army) are falling apart after a second day of defeat at Fire Base X-Ray. Now only five weeks after the Coup d’état against the Democratic Republic of Kekestan the FKLA is all but defeated. They have lost its massed forces and the Coup is failing. With all but a handful of holdouts neutralized the FKLA’s remaining forces are disappearing into the interior of the land and the almost all the forces have been accounted for.
INTEL
The FKLA is beaten and battered military group with the exception of a handful of last stand holdouts.
Armed with surplus Soviet weapons and home grown tactics they continue to fight even in the face of annihilation.
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.

RECONNAISSANCE PHOTOS
Enemy Forces
The FKLA are equipped with Soviet style equipment, and appear to be formed in traditional Squad and Platoon formations. Their equipment includes commercial type vehicles with heavy mounted machine guns, BRDMs, and AN-2 transport aircraft. They have a number of 82mm mortars. They have a history of the use of Mines and IEDs in the operational area, but after two major defeats at Fire Base X-Ray we do not think they have much of a QRF available.
We expect the FKLA holdouts to continue to fight in the operational area and possibly target TFA as they feel we have injured their pride. We expect the continued use of mortars in both defensive and offensive operations.
Friendly Forces
The Kekestan Government continues to evacuate the bulk of the civilian population from the operational area to safeguard them. They have directed TFA to conduct continued operations to defeat the FKLA.
The Kekestan Military Force will continue to secure the operational area and provide Intelligence to TFA as it becomes available. The Kekestan Military Forces are operating Fire Base X-Ray and UAV intelligence aircraft.
The Kekestan Military Forces are operating Fire Base X-Ray and the Castle Strong Hold and UAV intelligence aircraft.
TFA Equipment
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 which can be used if the Platoon Respawn Vehicle become unavailable. All Respawn Vehicles are also Arsenals and have Repair/Supply function.
