SITREP
TFA continue to face the CARROT CLAN, a.k.a. the Unidentified Enemy Forces (UEF) here in Winthera. We continue to neutralize their strongpoints, supply caches and C2 nodes. We expect them to continue to expand their smuggling operations regardless of their losses, and to reinforce their daily activities within the Operational Area.
We still wait for the Intelligence analysis to provide the identity of Commander Winterbottom (Whitetail 6).
The Carrot Clan continues their smuggling operations and continue to move in coordinated offensive operations against the Wintheran Government. They continue 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 and Recon Photos, they have T100 MBTs, BRDM2s, BMPs, and transport trucks.
Intelligence Agencies have not identified their main C2 (Command and Control) element, are still searching for the main Headquarters Command Node and the location of Whitetail 6. Local Commanders have flexibility in the execution of the daily operating procedures and the coordination of defensive operations throughout their sectors in the region.
The Carrot Clan is expected to double their efforts to defend their operations and 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 the use of military 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 Objective Stocking. We will move by our donated M998s 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 M998s to the LD/LC 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 en Route to the Objectives. Platoons will have the options of using an additional M998 in conjunction with their Platoon Respawn Vehicle. 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.
