REGION: Somalia 2. WEATHER: Clear Skies; 38F ; Wind <1kn NNE; Dawn 0415 IGT; Dusk 1900 IGT 3. TERRAIN: Plains Last week we silenced a mortar team and several spotters which were harrassing the airfield. Additionally, we utilized a double agent and extracted vital intel on an IED Factory located in Wondori, additionally, intel suggested we were to be counter attacked by Al-Shibab forces which was successfully repelled. Last week we lost a Humvee to enemy fire. It is in a recoverable state. Salvage it if you would like. Due to the nature and terrain of the airfield, and our low manpower, Command has suggested the construction of one or two fighting positions on the west-southwest side of the airstrip. Please construct this. While we lack manpower, we have high mobility and would be able to construct multile fighting posititions which we could relocate the various vehicles to fend off enemy attacks as needed. Resupply is coming in this morning. You may requisition one package. 3 x M1240A1 MRAP (Eletronic Warfare Suit & RPG Cages - M240 - M2 - Mk19 1 x M1132 SMP Stryker Minesweeper & 1 x Static Weapon Package 1x AH-6 Littlebird &1 x MH-6 Little Bird 1 x UH-60 Blackhawk & 1 x Drone Package Choose one, you will be able to request the rest in future operations. At midnight, we are planning to conduct a raid on Wondori, to locate and destroy the IED Factory. Do not focus on clearing the town of hostiles, but instead gather intelligence if possible during the day, conduct a hit and run raid on the factory by night. Al-Shabab is believed to lack any night optics cababilities. LASTLY, we have a change in the ROE. Last weekend, during the assault on Chouwari, and the previous week while clearing Karaye, we inflicting heavy civilian casualties. These will no longer be tolerated. For today, No engagement of any individual, vehicle, structure, or group is authorized without explicit approval from higher command unless there is an immediate and undeniable threat to friendly forces or civilians. Direct communication with the Operations Command Center (OCC) is mandatory for all requests to engage. Include detailed intelligence, situational reports, and a clear assessment of the threat. Positive identification (PID) remains a prerequisite. Higher command will assess whether the individual or entity demonstrates a confirmed hostile act or intent before granting authorization. Tonights Raid will be conducted within a civilian populated area; however, after reviewing the intelligence gather and verified from last week, OOC has labeled Wondori a Designated Engagement Area. The DEA is classified as a hostile area; however, indiscriminate fire is prohibited. Engagement of all armed individuals is authorized, provided they are not showing clear signs of surrender or carrying medical or humanitarian insignia. Civilians in the DEA must be presumed present unless intelligence confirms otherwise. Exercise extreme caution to avoid collateral damage. Structures, vehicles, or equipment suspected of housing or being used by hostile forces may be targeted if PID is confirmed.
