SP7 T. Sadler Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 WARNING ORDER Operation Red Inferno 004 Rosche, West Germany - 2021 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITUATION OPERATION TIME: 1900 EST IN-GAME TIME: 0000 IGT ORGANIZATION: 1. REGION: Rosche, West Germany 2. WEATHER: Clear Skies; 50F ; Wind <1kn NNE; Dawn 0755 IGT; Dusk 1825 IGT 3. TERRAIN: Farmland, Spruce Forests Following 1st Platoon's successful defense of Nestau, friendly armored and mechanized forces swarmed into the AO, which ultimately led to the recapture of several strategically relevant towns in the region. With the majority of the southern part of the AO recaptured, 1st Platoon has been re-tasked with assisting our partner forces in the north. The northern front has remained relatively stagnant over the past four weeks. However a recent intelligence finding suggests that a senior Soviet intelligence officer, Colonel Boris Osipov, plans to visit the town of Oetzen within the next 48 hours. While the exact reason for the Colonel's visit is unknown, it suggests that Russian forces in the northern half of the AO have grown more comfortable with their force movements. In an attempt to exploit the Soviet's deteriorating situational awareness, 1st Platoon has been tasked with capturing Colonel Osipov. Intelligence suggests that the Colonel plans to depart from the town of Schwemelitz in the dead of night on 6 November and make his way across the country side surveying several forward operating positions. As indicated in the images below, the Colonel plans to move through several towns including Bruchwedel, Testorf, Dormte, and ultimately Oetzen. 1st Platoon is to insert behind enemy lines, prepare to ambush and capture the Colonel, and evade enemy capture following the capture of Colonel Osipov. The successful capture of Colonel Osipov would result in a significant breakthrough on the intelligence front for our forces. a.
