SITREP
We are still facing the Unidentified Enemy Forces (UEF) a.k.a. CARROT CLAN here in Winthera. We have successfully neutralized most of their strongpoints, supply caches and C2 nodes. We expect them to continue to expand their smuggling operations regardless of their losses, so we are expanding our Operational Sector.
The Intelligence analysis has not yet provided 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 are continuing to seize control of suitable areas and are desperately trying to maintain their smuggling operations.
INTEL
The Carrot Clan have been moving into a number of abandoned and local small private airfields to continue their 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.
We have still not identified the main C2 (Command and Control) element, but it may be located somewhere in the isolated territory we have not yet managed to identify, and we expect Whitetail 6 will most likely be found there. Local Commanders have been responsible for operating communications towers to facilitate coordination of defensive operations and localized smuggling mission.
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 or 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 continues to push the attack on the Carrot Clan to destroy all enemy forces in our assigned Operational Area, and to Destroy Carrot Clan Communications and C2 Nodes, Military Supplies, and Vehicles. This will be an early morning attack.
EXECUTION
TFA has occupied an Assembly Area and TOC at our current location here at the former OBJECTIVE HOLIDAY CHEER. We will move by captured Mi-8 to LZ Inferno, where the Platoons will be supplied with their vehicles from last mission. They have been repaired and refueled, and will on the LZ when we get there, we 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 move by captured Mi-8 along Route BLUE ARROW to LZ Inferno, were Platoon Leaders will direct the effort to find, fix and destroy the enemy forces and resources in the Operational Area. Platoon Leaders will coordinate movement and attack plans with Spartan as they move through the sector in Route to the Objectives. Platoons will collect their respawn vehicle on the LZ Inferno. Spartan will have a respawn vehicle if theirs becomes unavailable.
Required: Mi-8 Helicopter Pilot for insertion.

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.

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.
