SITREP
The CARROT CLAN’s Operational Area is shrinking here in Winthera. TFA will conduct containing operations to neutralize their operations, and the Wintheraian Intelligence Agencies have provided the location of Commander Winterbottom (Whitetail 6) and the primary HQ/C2 location. We will conduct a quite insertion and capture and extraction of him.
We expect the Carrot Clan to continue the ongoing smuggling operations and continue military expansion operations to find and occupy suitable areas to continue their operations.
INTEL
The Carrot Clan continue to move into abandoned and local small private airfields to desperately stay ahead of the offensive operations to dismantle 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. They are equipped with T100 MBTs, BRDM2s, BMPs, transport trucks and An-2 fixed wing and Mi-8 style rotary wing aircraft.
We now have the location of their main HQ/C2 (Headquarters and Command and Control) element, and have identified that Whitetail 6 is on location. Expect the local commanders to have continued Command and Control in the execution of the daily operating procedures and the coordination of defensive operations throughout their sectors in the region.
The Carrot Clan is reinforcing their operations, and it is expected they will double their efforts to defend their operations and installations. Additionally, Airborne Assault Units will be deployed when key areas are attacked to provide 3D battlefield envelopment. They have failed to slow our advance and 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: It remains cold, cloudy, with a light blowing wind. Expect Snow Showers for the next 24 hours.
Terrain: Rolling hills with farmland and small urban areas, lightly wooded forests.
MISSION
TFA conducts a Black Operation to Locate, Capture, and Exfiltrate with Commander Winterbottom (WhiteTail 6). Shortly after 0200 TFA will cross the LD/LC and move into our assigned Operational Area to Destroy Carrot Clan Communication Towers, C2 Nodes, Military Supplies, and Vehicles in and around Objective Death’s Shadow.
EXECUTION
TFA will use a Limited Arsenal and have occupied an Assembly Area and TOC at our current location. We will move by our donated M998s to maneuver into the target area. The Platoon Leaders will decide how they will Find, Fix, and Destroy the assets in the Objective area. As a Black Operation Stealth and Surprise are key elements of a successful completion of this mission.
TFA will move by M998s to the LD/LC 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 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.
Intelligence has confirmed Commander Winterbottom is on location, and that within the Objective Area expect every building to be occupied with garrisoned troops. If the Operation is compromised, expect Armor Reinforcements to respond; if and when that happens Platoons are allowed to “Go Loud” with Conventional Loadouts.

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 fielded 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 continue 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 continues to mobilize and consolidate their forces and have establish defensive operations and have been securing the rear of our AO, they have been helpful in the handling of POWs. They have tasked TFA to continue offensive operations and conduct an early morning Black Op to Capture and Extract Commander Winterbottom.
The Wintheran Government Military Force conducts operations to our flanks and rear to consolidate and gather Intelligence to identify the Carrot Clan Leadership and Primary HQ/C2. The Wintheran Military Intelligence Force (WMIF) will provide any updates to TFA as they become available.
TFA Equipment
Each Platoon Leader will have a respawn vehicle, Reinforcements (Respawns) move to it by the use of the Reinforcement Flag Poles. Additional M998s with additional weapons are available, and may be used if directed by Platoon Leaders.
Rations: Medical Cocktail #6 and IsoSure DrinkAid. (To reduce the hallucinations.)
