 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: 71^st 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:

1. 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.
2. 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: 1^st Platoon with 71^st 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 1^st Platoon with 71^st AHC in support.

 

3. EXECUTION

Phase 1: Fuel Dump Assault        

1-6: Will move with 1-2 and observe the assault and command the assault from the OP and move into support the ground troops if needed.

1-1: Will step off with the rest of the platoon at 1930EST out of the Finnish FOB. 1^st Platoon will progress to WP TREVOR. When the platoon is all counted for, 1-1 will split off and move to OP SCOTT and get eyes on the Fuel Dump. Once a sufficient observation has taken place the ground commander will advise 1-1 to hold position and provide fire support for 1-2. When 1-2 have entered the Fuel Dump 1-1 will be called in to support via Phase Line ABLE. After the destruction of the Fuel Dump all squads will move to the Platoon RP GOLF and HOLD position.

1-2: Will step off with the rest of the platoon at 1930EST out of the Finnish FOB. 1^st Platoon will progress to WP TREVOR. When the platoon is all counted for, 1-2 will split off and move to OP VICTOR and get eyes on the Fuel Dump. Once a sufficient observation has taken place the ground commander will advise 1-2 to commence their assault on the fuel dump through Phase Line FOXTROT. Once 1-2 have entered the Fuel Dump they are to contact the ground commander so 1-1 can move in and support. Engineers in 1-2 will rig any supplies to detonate on a clacker. When charges are set the Platoon will move to Platoon RP GOLD and HOLD position.

All squads are to be prepared for enemy reinforcements and possible counter attacks. 1-1 will take the Eastern side of the Fuel Dump and hold security 1-2 will take the Western part of the Fuel Dump and hold security while charges are set and searches are carried out.

Phase 2: Assault of Factory

1-1: Move off from PLTRP GOLF to WP BEN with 1-2 and hold position, Once 1-2 are in position at WP VIDAR 1-1 are to move into position at OP JOHN and get eyes on the objective. Once a sufficient observation has taken place 1-1 Squad Leader is to liaise with 1-6 and form a plan of attack on the objective with the intel gathered. Once the plan is in place 1-6 will advise when to attack. 1-1 are then to attack the objective and prepare to rig any equipment with charges on a clacker. Once position is declared clear 1-1 are then to move to PLTRP ECHO and await the arrival of the rest of 1 Platoon before moving off to the Resupply Cache. DOR Uniform (Denial Of Route) is to be mined to prevent any reinforcements moving into the supply cache or Gorka.

1-2 Move off from PLTRP GOLF to WP BEN with 1-1, 1-2 are to then split off and move positon to WP VIDAR. Once at WP VIDAR are to contact 1-6, on the go ahead from 1-6, 1-2 are to move into positon at OP JORDAN and provide overwatch and fire support for 1-1. Setup defences at the OP to provide sufficient cover. Once 1-1 are in the Factory 1-2 are to move to DOR (Denial of route) NOVEMBER and mine the area to prevent reinforcements moving on the MSR. Should 1-1 require support in the Factory 1-2 are to move into the Factory and mine the DOR on extraction. When area is declared clear 1-2 are to move off to PLTRP Echo and regroup. When 1 Platoon are all accounted for, the platoon will move off to the resupply cache.

All squads are to resupply, patch wounds and be prepared to move ASAP. 1-1 & 1-2 are to provide overwatch whilst the other squad is resupplying.

There has been an update to our Repo Names

When we first launched the location based repos (EU/US) we had a vision of having 3 repos on each location, the repos named at the time in what we thought was the best way. We have slowly realised that the naming convention is now confusing and does not actually represent what repo holds what modset etc. As of today we have now changed the names of the repo's to better reflect what modset is in which repo. The below changes have taken place.

EU Repo
1stCav EU Base Mods - This has now been renamed to 1stCav Modern Mods

1stCav EU Ops Mods - This has now been renamed to 1stCav WW2 Mods

1stCav EU Unsung Mods - This has now been renamed to 1stCav Unsung Mods

US Repo

1stCav US Base Mods - This has now been renamed to 1stCav Modern Mods

1stCav US Ops Mods - This has now been renamed to 1stCav WW2 Mods

1stCav US Unsung Mods - This has now been renamed to 1stCav Unsung Mods

 

You will now see that we have named them in a better fashion, as well as remove the location from the Repo name, the reason for this is if one of the repo's ever goes down, then you can easily switch just the URL in ArmA3Sync and it will remain synchronised at the other location. This prevents you needing to add each repo from each location. 

What you NEED to do now to stay up to date is to go to your ArmA3Sync and remove all the old repo names, and follow this guide to re-add them back in. You will NOT have to redownload everything, ArmA3Sync will see the already downloaded mods and synchronise correctly.
