  6. Operation Order Operation Red Inferno 005 West Germany - 2021 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ OPERATION TIME: 1900 EST IN-GAME TIME: 0200 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, Villages As a result of the successful capture of the enemy officer Colonel Osipov during 1st Platoons last operation we have gained intel on an enemy stronghold and supply point to the North of Rosche. Allied forces have now moved no mans land further towards some key enemy occupied villages and towns. However, to ensure this push continues 1st Platoon are tasked with causing havoc behind enemy lines. From the intel gathered we have located a town called Testorf, this town is heavily defended with no routes in or out, every road around the village is barricaded by the enemy so a vehicle assault is not possible. Within the town lay a vehicle and resupply depot, it is also believed that there is a communications center in the town. The disruption to enemy supply lines and communications would greatly benefit the aim of NATO forces allowing for a further push in from the South without risk of a counter attack from the North. c. 2021 - Rules of Engagement PID Targets, engage at will. An evacuation notice has been issued in the region, though some civilians may still be present in surrounding towns and villages. Avoid civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure when possible, though higher authority has declared the AO a free-fire zone on confirmed hostiles. 2. MISSION 1st Platoon has been tasked with assaulting the town of Testof & destroying a vital communications hub & vehicle depot. 3. EXECUTION MAP OF THE AO PHASE I - Insertion a. At 0230 Zulu Time, 1st Platoon will be flown to LZ Lazio. b. Once on the ground, 1st Platoon will move towards RP 2. c. After arriving at RP 2, 1st Squad will move to OP 2, 2nd Squad will move to OP 1 & observe the objective. d. 1st Squad will then move north and place SLAM mines, along the possible routes of advance of the enemy quick reaction force. e. 1st Squad will move back to RP 2, and both teams will prepare to infiltrate the town. PHASE II - Assault a. 1st Platoon will move through a slightly forested depression and close on the town. b. After arriving at RP 3, 1st Squad will establish eyes on OBJ Norwich. c. 2nd Squad will prepare to assault the checkpoint from the rear & destroy the active BTR. d. Once engaged, 1st Squad will move to secure OBJ Norwich & 2nd Squad will move to secure the checkpoint. e. Both Squads will then destroy respectively the BTR & Communications Equipment then move towards OBJ Newcastle together. f. Both Squads will assault OBJ Newcastle, the vehicle depot. Once secured, 1st Platoon will plant charges and detonate the vehicles & fuel supplies. PHASE III - Extraction a. If Testorf is heavily occupied, due to 1st Platoon's lack of manpower, it will be impossible to clear all the structures or secure the entire town in time before QRF arrives. In this scenario 1st Platoon will flee after neutralizing both objectives. 1st Platoon will move to one of the three LZ's to the south and call for extraction. b. If Testorf is only lightly occupied, 1st Platoon may have enough manpower to secure the town in time to prepare to ambush the enemy's quick reaction force. In this scenario, 1st Squad will set up on the east side of Town while, 1-2 takes the west side of town and will prepare to ambush enemy QRF. After an initial ambush, 1st Platoon will pull back south to LZ Napoli for extraction. **Special Instructions** - All requests for fire will come to the Platoon Leader first. - Reinserts will be done via helicopter. If you die, it may be some time before you are returned to the fight, so be careful. - All members will carry 1 x Personal Aid Kit, 1 x 500ml Blood, 1 x E-Tool - Each squad will bring 2 x Wood Axe as a sidearm to chop trees for the ambush. 4.

  8. Operation Order Operation Red Inferno 004 West Germany - 2021 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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. c. 2021 - Rules of Engagement PID Targets, engage at will. An evacuation notice has been issued in the region, though some civilians may still be present in surrounding towns and villages. Avoid civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure when possible, though higher authority has declared the AO a free-fire zone on confirmed hostiles. 2. MISSION 1st Platoon has been tasked with intercepting a Russian Convoy containing a high value target. 1st Platoon will conduct a prepared ambush, secure the HVT, and exfil on foot back to friendly lines. 3. EXECUTION MAP OF THE AO PHASE I - Insersion a. At 0045 Zulu Time, 1st Platoon will take off and fly to the drop zone. b. At 0055 Zulu Time, 1st Platoon will HALO jump and land in the DZ northwest of the AO. c. At 0100, 1st Platoon will move to RP 1 and secure their backpacks/mines. d. From RP 1, 1st Squad and 2nd Squad will split up, and beginning chopping trees and mining the logging roads to the north of the AO. e. 1st Platoon will then rally at RP 2 and set up a prepared ambush along Route Green. PHASE II - Ambush. a. 1st Squad chop trees along the road blocking the exit to the forest. b. 2nd Squad will set up defensive positions along the southeast side of the bend and get eyes down the road. c. 1st Platoon will wait for the convoy to approach and turn around the bend. d. 1st Platoon will the conduct an ambush and neutralize the drivers of all vehicles. e. 1st Platoon will attempt to take the Colonel alive. f. Once the HVT is secured, 1st Platoon will move southwest towards friendly lines. Likely will be persued. PHASE III - Extraction a. 1st Platoon will move to RP 3 and then follow the waypoints to RP4. b. 1st Platoon will will likely be taking contact and will have to fire and maneuver back towards friendly lines. c. Once reaching friendly lines, 1st Platoon will be picked up in a helo and RTB with the HVT. **Special Instructions** - All requests for fire will come to the Platoon Leader first. - Reinserts will be done via helicopter. If you die, it may be some time before you are returned to the fight, so be careful. - All members will carry 1 x Personal Aid Kit, 1 x 500ml Blood, 1 x E-Tool - Each squad will bring 2 x Wood Axe as a sidearm to chop trees for the ambush. 4.

WARNING ORDER Operation Commando Hunt 002 North Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia - 1971 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITUATION OPERATION TIME: 1900 EST IN-GAME TIME: 0600 IGT ORGANIZATION: 1. REGION: North Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia 2. WEATHER: Clear Skies; 38F ; Wind <1kn NNE; Dawn 0415 IGT; Dusk 1900 IGT 3. TERRAIN: Mountains, Highlands, Jungle, Rolling plains The year is 1971. American ground troops are being pulled out of South Vietnam at an alarming rate. The countryside is full of empty fire support bases, and the North Vietnamese have infiltrated and occupied Laos, Cambodia, and the western fringes of South Vietnam. Hundreds of millions of tons of supplies are being transported along the Ho Chi Minh trail, through NVA occupied Laos & Cambodia. As the main American ground presence winds down, MACV-SOG's operations to disrupt the enemy in their rear operating areas are intensified; however, the NVA occupy the areas along the Ho Chi Minh trail in great numbers. MACV-SOG Recon teams of 10 men are dropped into "target boxes" with several thousand North Vietnamese regulars in an attempt to disrupt their operations in the rear. Special Elite "Anti-Reconnaissance" battalions have been assembled from Montagnard's and hardcore NVA NCO's, who's sole purpose is to track and pin down MACV-SOG Reconnaissance teams and then send in a battalion of NVA regulars to surround and finish off the enemy. Since MACV-SOG team's were often outnumbered 100 to 1, their survival relied on the expertise of their indigenous Montagnard "strikers" to guide them to defendable positions such as hilltops, cliffs, old abandoned fire support bases, etc. as well as the brave pilots of the US Navy and Airforce that often were called in to provide close air support for trapped recon teams on the ground. For this campaign, we will be playing the part of two MACV-SOG Recon teams, who will be given tasks in three "Target Boxes" DM-01 (Cambodia), DM-08 (Laos), and DM-09 (North Vietnam). Each target box is home to an NVA Regimental headquarters that is operating and overseeing the movement of supplies down the Ho Chi Minh trail. To complete this campaign, we will have to locate and destroy all three NVA Regimental Headquarters in order to clear the target box. Detailed information about the Target boxes can be found below. A base line of intelligence has been provided, and as Recon teams conduct missions in the target box they will gather more information and fill the files with further details which will provide for future missions & objectives from Saigon. a.
