SITREP
We are facing an Unidentified Enemy Forces (UEF), from now on to be referred to as the CARROT CLAN, here in Winthera, and so far we have neutralized several of their strongpoints, supply caches and C2 nodes in our assigned Operational Sector. We expect them to continue to displace the civilian population and expand their smuggling operations regardless of their losses.
The Intelligence from our last mission has been forwarded to higher command for analysis and we continue to wait for the identity of the Mysterious Commander Winterbottom (aka Whitetail 6).
The Carrot Clan continues their smuggling operations and are moving in coordinated offensive operations against the Wintheran Government. They continue to seize control of suitable areas and are increasing the smuggling operations.
INTEL
The Carrot Clan have moved into several airfields in the operational area to conduct smuggling operations. We have seen the repeated deployment of their Airborne Assault Unit with little effect on the battlefield. They are formed in what appears to be in a Motorized Infantry Task Force (minus) configuration and are proven to be operating in squad size units. From our experience and Intelligence with Recon Photos they have BRDM2s, BMPs, and transport trucks.
It is assumed the main C2 (Command and Control) element is located somewhere in the isolated territory we have not yet managed to find, and that Whitetail 6 most likely will be found there, with local commanders operating large scale communications towers to facilitate communications.
The Carrot Clan is expected to conduct Airborne Assaults if attacked to provide 3D battlefield envelopment, so expect to get surrounded when heavy contact is made. Intel suggests they are continuing ongoing smuggling operations, and use threats of force to control parts of the region and force projection.
There is no known use of Mines of IEDs in the area.
Weather: Cold, cloudy with a light wind blowing to the East. Expect Snow Showers in the next 24 hours.
Terrain: Rolling hills with farmland and small urban areas, lightly wooded forests.
MISSION
TFA conducts a Hasty Attack on the Carrot Clan to destroy all enemy forces in OBJECTIVE ICE HOLE, OBJECTIVE REINDEER GAMES, and OBJECTIVE HOLIDAY CHEER. Destroy Carrot Clan Communications and C2 Nodes, Military Supplies, and Vehicles within our operational area. This will be an early morning attack.
EXECUTION
TFA has occupied an Assembly Area and TOC at our current location here at the former OBJ Wet Gloves. The Platoons still have their vehicles from last mission, they have been repaired and refueled, and will use them to maneuver to the target areas. The Platoon Leaders will decide what assets they want to use and how they will Find, Fix, and Destroy all enemy forces in the area. The Communications Systems must be destroyed and any INTEL must be secured.
TFA will operate as Platoon Leaders direct in the effort to find, fix and destroy the enemy forces in the Objectives Ice Hole, Reindeer Games and Holiday Cheer. Platoon Leaders will coordinate movement and attack plans with Spartan as they move through the sector en Route to the Objectives.
Platoons have a respawn vehicle and Spartan will have a respawn vehicle if theirs becomes unavailable.
RECONNAISSANCE PHOTOS
Enemy Forces
The Carrot Clan is equipped with current Russian Weapons and Equipment. They are considered a well-trained force with combat experience. They have several BRDM2, BMPs, and transport trucks, and they have several AN2 fixed wing and Mi8 style rotary wing aircraft for movement of the Airborne Assault Unit. They are expected to follow traditional Air-Land Battle Tactics.
There is no known use of Mines of IEDs in the area.
Friendly Forces
The Wintheran Military Force continue mobilizing to consolidate their forces and establish defensive posture, they again have tasked TFA to immediately continue offensive operations and conduct more hasty attacks.
The Wintheran Government Military Force conducts operations to consolidate and gather Intelligence to identify the Carrot Clan. The Wintheran Military Intelligence Force (WMIF) will provide any updates to TFA as they become available.
TFA Equipment
Each Platoon is equipped with a respawn vehicle. The Reinforcement Flag Poles will move platoon members to the Platoon Leaders Vehicle.
Rations: Cold cut sandwiches, Froshy Margaritas, and Knickerbocker Glory.
