Operation Order Operation Winter War 002 Finland - Suomussalmi - Er.P 15 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITUATION OPERATION TIME: 1900 EST IN-GAME TIME: 1800 IGT ORGANIZATION: 1. REGION: SUOMUSSALMI - FINLAND - North Karelian Group 2. WEATHER: Snowing, storm; 8.6F (-13C); Wind <1kn NNE; Dawn 0600 IGT; Dusk 1900 IGT 3. TERRAIN: Mountainous, Large Valleys, Forests MAP OF AO After our tactical retreat last week, the Soviets have moved into the area, and settled in. We cannot allow this to continue. We have managed to infiltrate into the enemy controlled area, and set up a small FOB. Our brethren have also managed to sneak a cache of supplies into a local town, if we need it. Our objectives are simple. Make the Soviets pay for every occupied square meter of Finland! We will strike hard and fast, and they will never know what hit them. We are the snow of Finland. a. Enemy Forces Strength: 45-55000 Soviet Regulars, ill equipped for winter manoeuvres Locations: Held up in multiple Locations across the AO Weapons/Equipment: Ill maintained bolt action rifles, potential for some semi/fully automatic rifles. Morale: Low, enemy are fighting with equipment not suitable for the conditions Tactics/Patrols: Enemy are known to Stay and Fight, they will put up a hard fight to keep their taken ground. Unknown if patrols are operating, expect infantry and mechanized patrols especially on MSR’s. Likely Intentions: To stay and fight and prevent friendly forces making progress. Enemy may also counter-attack. Dress: Winter camouflage, woodland camouflage. b. Friendly Forces Commanders Intent: To Disrupt distribution of supplies, fuel and prevent repairs. Drive the Soviets out of the occupied land. Platoon commanders intent: Carry out the commanders intent, provide a hard fight and gain back lost ground. Locations of neighbouring forces: No friendly forces are known to be operating in the area. Attachment & Detachments: 71st AHC are attached to squad on the ground. Civilians/Refugees There is a possibility of civilians in the AO, this is their home and they will not take lightly to the Soviets driving them out. c. 1930s - Rules of Engagement On order from your commander, enemy military and paramilitary forces are declared hostile and may be attacked subject to the following instructions: Positive Identification (PID) is required prior to engagement. PID is a reasonable certainty that the proposed target is a legitimate military target. If no PID, contact your next highest commander for decision. Do not engage anyone who has surrendered, or is unarmed or wounded. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. MISSION To disrupt the supplies, repairs and fuel distribution of the Soviets, retake the Village of Gorka and regain lost ground. Concept of Ops: Commanders intent: As Above. Scheme of manoeuvre: 1st Platoon with 71st AHC attachments will step off from the Finnish FOB at latest 1930EST. On completion of objectives ground commander will select an RP to return to the FOB. This operation will be a 3 phase operation. Main Effort: Fighting force will be provided by 1st Platoon with 71st AHC in support. 3.
