SITREP
We are still facing the Unidentified Enemy Forces (UEF) a.k.a. CARROT CLAN here in Winthera. We have successfully neutralized all of their strongpoints, supply caches and C2 nodes. We expect them to continue to expand their smuggling operations regardless of their losses, so we will continue to apply pressure in the Operational Area.
The Intelligence analysis has yet provided the identity of the Mysterious Commander Winterbottom (aka Whitetail 6).
The Carrot Clan continues their smuggling operations and continue to move in coordinated offensive operations against the Wintheran Government. They are continuing to seize control of suitable areas as they maintain their smuggling operations despite their losses to TFA.
INTEL
The Carrot Clan continue to move into 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 T100 MBTs, BRDM2s, BMPs, and transport trucks.
We have still not identified the main C2 (Command and Control) element. Intelligence Agencies are still conducting analysis to locate the main Headquarters Command Node and the location of Whitetail 6. Local Commanders have flexibility in operating continued Smuggling Operations and communications towers to facilitate coordination of defensive operations throughout the region.
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 indicates they are continuing ongoing smuggling operations and use threats of force to control parts of the region and force projection. They have failed to slow our advance, so they have moved in T100 MBTs, Recon and Surveillance has identified six in our immediate area and we expect them to have at least a Tank Company (Generally 12 to 14) on the ground. Expect them to fight to the last man.
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 LZ Inferno. We will once again move by captured Mi-8 to LZ Hot Toddy, where the Platoons will be required to clear a Hot LZ then move to and secure their vehicles in the vicinity of Objective Roasting Chestnuts, 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. Multiple Communications Systems Towers must be destroyed and any INTEL must be found and secured.
TFA will move by captured Mi-8 along Route Grandma’s House to LZ Hot Toddy, where 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 en Route to the Objectives. Platoons will collect their respawn vehicle vicinity of Objective Roasting Chestnuts. Spartan will have a respawn vehicle that can be used if the Platoons’ becomes unavailable.
Due to the close proximity of the Objective Areas expect the enemy to be able to engage us at range from our flanks.
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 T100 MBTs, 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 will have a respawn vehicle once it is secured at Objective Roasting Chestnuts. The Reinforcement Flag Poles will move platoon members to the Platoon Leaders Vehicle.
