REGION: The Bra, South Vietnam 2. WEATHER: Clear Skies; 38F ; Wind <1kn NNE; Dawn 0415 IGT; Dusk 1900 IGT 3. TERRAIN: Plains, Jungle Last week we captured an enemy Radio. Throughout the week our interpreters have been listening to enemy communications, and it has become clear that they are massing a troop of raw recruits for an assault. We suspect they are referring to a company's worth of men. We have not yet deciphered their code words, We are unsure of where they will attack. We suspect either they are planning an attack on Camp Striker or possibly a retaliation against the Civilians who you saved last week. Those Civilians have fled to the mountainous town of Xayden and have set up a fortified position. Your job tonight will be to sneak across the river and attempt to capture a valuable prisoner, like an officer or NCO, or raw intelligence in the form of a written order. Once this is done, we will know where they will attack. You will then join in the defense of the target, either joining the line or setting up ambushes ahead of the target, before falling back to join in the defense. If the target is Camp Striker, we have a platoon's worth of Army Corps of Engineers to provide perimeter defense. If the target is Xayden, they only have a handful of armed Militiamen to defend the target, and will require your full support. a.

  3. WARNING ORDER Operation Wilderness 001 The Bra - South Vietnam - 1968 Actual LRRP Company attached to the 1/7th Cavalry Regiment ~ Khe Sanh 1968 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITUATION OPERATION TIME: 1900 EST IN-GAME TIME: 0600 IGT ORGANIZATION: 1. REGION: The Bra, South Vietnam 2. WEATHER: Clear Skies; 38F ; Wind <1kn NNE; Dawn 0415 IGT; Dusk 1900 IGT 3. TERRAIN: Plains, Jungle The Year is 1968, the Tet Offensive Rages across South Vietnam. After three months of intense fighting, US Forces are spread thin. The majority of US and ARVN Ground forces are already committed to the Sieges of Khe Sanh, Da Nang, Hue City, Saigon, and the DMZ. With limited manpower and resources at its disposal, the US Army seeks to generate large gains by utilizing the highly effective rangers of the Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol Companies. A LRRP Platoon consisting of eighteen men, A single Six man recon team, and a hatchet force of twelve men. These LRRP Platoons were often sent out on patrols deep into enemy territory for months at a time to fight a guerrilla war against the PAVN and Viet Cong main force units, Averaging a body count of 400 enemy combatants killed for one ranger of an LRRP Platoon. During the course of the war, LRRP's confirmed over 10,000 enemies killed. For this campaign, we will be playing the part of an LRRP Platoon, attached to the 1/7th Cavalry, tasked with infiltrating enemy territory in the region known as "The Bra". This region is occupied by a regiment of PAVN Regulars, where men are trained to join to the on going assault on Khe Sanh Airbase, and where supplies are transported along its many concealed roadways. Our Long Range Recconassaince Patrol Platoon has limited Support and manpower but is expected to wage a guerrilla war against this unknown PAVN Regiment. The LRRP's objectives are as follows, 1. Gather intelligence on the PAVN Regiment, who they are, what are they doing, where do they train their men, where do they transfer their supplies, where are their munition stockpiles, where do they sleep, where does their food come from, how many of them are there in the Bra, do they have artillery and anti-air. 2. Establish Fire Support Base Striker to house 3 x 105mm Artillery guns & 6 Helicopters for the 71st AHC, to offer support for the LRRP in the Field. 3. Establish several temporary concealed shelters and fortified bases across the Bra, for the LRRP to operate out of across the entire map. 4. Disrupt and Destroy and Hamper all enemy operations in the valley. If they are transporting men and munitions, ambush them, mine the roads, secure prisoners for interrogation, sneak into their barracks and kill them while they sleep, plant explosives in the center of their training areas, booby trap their armories, find and clear their tunnels, destroy their radios, kill their commanders, cut off their food supplies, find and destroy their anti-aircraft guns, artillery, communications arrays. 5. Draw large groups of PAVN regulars out in the open, for several pitched battles. Draw them into your concealed fortified prepared positions to be cut down by your small arms, claymores, booby traps, sniper ambushes, and lastly into the open where our artillery and air support can make up for our lack of numbers. Be prepared to remain in the field during the entirety of the Campaign, you cannot rely on helicopter transport to and from the Fire Support Base each mission, unless you want Anti-Air Craft guns, and platoons of PAVN regulars to be upon you, in their LZ's. Be prepared to build concealed fortified camps in the jungle, several times during the campaign. Be prepared to conduct Emergency Action Drills, similar to our MACV Campaigns, you will be vastly outnumbered, with limited support. 71st AHC will have 3x105mm Artillery Guns, 3xUH-1 Huey Slicks, 3x Gunships, 1xChinook, 2xFixed Wing for the entire campaign. If an aircraft or gun is lost, it will need to be salvaged by 71st AHC & LRRP in order to be used next mission, otherwise it is lost for the entire campaign. a.

TERRAIN: Mountains, Highlands, Jungle It is 1972, American ground presence has diminished significantly. President Nixon is seeking a favorable Peace Treaty with North Vietnam and hoping to stabilize the RVN before the American withdrawal. With peace talks stalling in Paris, President Nixon orders a massive bombing campaign to bring the Communist regime to its heels. 1: Flights of hundreds of B-52 bombers hammered the North Vietnamese capital for twelve nights, in the largest bombing raid since the bombing of Berlin in 1945. Due to the heavy integrated Anti-Air network which claimed the lives of many B-52's in the previous Operation, President Nixon personally ordered several teams of MACV-SOG Recon Teams to infiltrate the area surrounding Hanoi in an effort to spot targets such as SAM defenses, Radar Towers, and Industrial zones in preperation for the first flight of B-52 bombers. 2: Recon Team Alaska will infiltrate North Vietnam a day in advance and scout out several Hills that overlook Hanoi. RT Alaska will locate a hill with good eyes on Hanoi & will clear the top, fortify the position, begin spotting targets and radioing their locations back to headquarters. You will have to hold your forified location until the F-105's and B-52's arrive tomorrow. (Next Operation the bombing raid will start). a.

  24. WARNING ORDER Operation Cyclone 001 Uzbin Province, Afghanistan 1984 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITUATION TIME: February 11th, 1984 @ 1900 EST (1200 IGT) WEATHER: 31F (5C) Overcast; Wind <1kn NNE; Dawn 0600 IGT; Dusk 1800 IGT As of February 1984, The Soviet Army has control of most of Urban Afghanistan; however, after 5 years of prolonged fighting, stiff resistance has formed in the rural population, who have fled to the mountains and are waging a guerilla war against the Soviet Occupiers. The Soviet Army has established several well guarded "Safe Zones" in the urban areas as they plan to rebuild the communist framework of the nation; however, outside of these Urban Safe Zones, Soviet forces are engaged with a well disciplined advisory, striking from the mountain tops, and the shadows. Soviet Operations consist of patrolling the rural areas, outside of their safe zones, searching for concentrations of Mujahedeen troops, safe houses, arms smugglers, and supply routes. Once located the Soviet Forces utilize their heavy airpower to smash the Mujahedeen rebels from the air. The Uzbin Valley, in which you live, has come under attack by Mujahedeen forces moving down from the north. Here on the western fringes of the Valley, Soviet Forces have forcibly relocated the inhabitants to Safe Zones Anna and Boris, while the 375th Motor Rifle Regiment engages with Mujahedeen Regulars in the western valley. Bisecting the Valley from North to south are the tall, rocky Koubal Mountains. The Eastern side of the Uzbin valley has remained relatively untouched by the war up until this point. With the arrival of Mujahedeen regulars to the west, so have their smugglers and supply lines begun to move arms and muntions through the western half of the province, over the Koubal mountains, to the Eastern Valley, where the battle rages. Safe Zone Dimitry lays in the eastern valley, guarded by Sary Yar Airfield. Soviet Operations have ramped up in Sary Yar Airfield, to locate and destroy these supply lines, in order to cripple the mujahedeen forces to the West.

Mako 1-6 will contact Rattler 1-6 on FREQ 50.0 to request an asset to assist 1st Platoon as necessary. Once the asset is in the area of Operation for Mako 1-6, Infantry can contact the bird via CAS Net FREQ 45.0 to guide in the bird/direct close air support. If an infantry element is in threat of being overrun and requires immediate assistance, they may declare a "Tactical Emergency" to Mako 1-6, who will then have Rattler 1-6 redirect all available air assets to Mako 1-6's Area of Operation to prevent the unit from being overrun. Be sure not to stray too far off the planned & assigned path, due to the high probability of undiscovered minefields. Be sure to stay within 1st Platoon's area of operation, venturing off course into 2nd or 3rd Platoon's AO could result in blue on blue. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ MISSION Local military-aged farmers & stonemasons You will play the part of an Afghan clan, (Or kin-group) living in the village of ______.
