Operation Darkrain MSOT 8312, ALPHA CO. Task Force Valkyrie DATE OF OPERATION 21MAR20 (IRL) / N/A (IU) 18:30 EST (IRL) / N/A (IU) ORIENTATION: SITREP/MISSION Two nights ago a small three-man recon team attach to Viking was sent into a known area of VDV activity to locate to the source of arms flooding into the region. During the mission, the recon team was discovered, despite this, they were able to scout all points of interest they were assigned. Unfortunately, Command lost contact with them shortly after they requested there contact to move into position for extract. Said contact reported a large amount of gunfire in the distance some distance south of the Extract point. After waiting for a few hours the contact left the area without the Recon team, the next day around 1400 we got word that a local doctor had been called to what we now know to be the VDV Command post. Where he was asked to aid three heavily wounded men, who he belaves are Americans. Following this information, MSOT 8312 has been authorized to accelerate our timeline for the planned Action in the AO. In coordination with 160th SOAR and the information sent up by the recon team before capture, Viking will be conducting a D/A agast the VDV Command building. 1. SITUATION a. Enemy Forces SALUTE (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment): Primary OpFor: Russan VDV; Platoon +, Patrolling and Defending locations throughout the AO, Small arms / Light motorized / patrol boat x2 / possible mounted weapons. EMLCOA (Enemy Most Likely Course of Action): Patrol throughout the AO until Aviation conducts opening strikes, and consolidate their positions along with searching for and dealing with there wounded. Upon communicating the MSOTs presence in the area VDV are likely to converge on the teams last known position. EMDCOA (Enemy Most Dangerous Course of Action): If Viking is detected too long before the aviation's strikes, the MSOT will be the at risk of being overwhelmed by organized converging forces. b.Friendly Forces Higher mission: Rescue wounded and Captured Recon team members. Disrupt VDV ability to bring munitions into the area, destroying any VDV assets in the area and dismantling VDV command. Adjacent Units: Local assets Supporting Units: 160th SOAR c. Attachments & Detachments: Alpha Company JTAC 2. MISSION Mission Time: 18:30 EST (IRL) Location: Weather: Unknown Intel: N/A AO: [RUHA Image unavailable] In short: Viking will leave Airbase Kastel in unmarked Vehicles, changing out into more unmarked Vehicles to conceal our movements. Once at RP Freyja, Viking will conceal our Vehicle and move to the river where Zodiacs are to be prepared. Setting off under engine power Viking will kill the zodiac engines as we pass SP, travelling the rest of the way under paddle power. On arriving at the EP Viking will secure and conceal our boats, marking their position for retrieval by BlueFor local assets later. After dismounting Viking will move quietly up to PL-1, once set Viking will Raid OBJ Dis on the signal of Aviation assets initiating their strikes on positions in the AO. Upon Securing the Command building, Viking will set up security for Aviation assets to retrieve any wounded BlueFor at the site. Following extraction of the wounded, Viking will sweep through Known VDV locations conducting BDA on aviation strike locations and ensuring 3. EXECUTION a. Commander's Intent Infiltrate the AO undetected, Move on OBJ Dis in conjunction with Aviation strikes on targets in the AO. Securing the survivers of the Recon Team and diminish the VDVs ability to continue moving arms into the region. b. Concept of the Operation Scheme of manoeuvre: Airbase Kastel > RP Freyja > SP > EP > PL-1 > OBJ Dis > OBJ Tyr > Airbase Kastel Extraction Considerations: - Primary Extract; Securing an LZ for helicopter extraction. - Secondary; Move on foot to our zodiacs and ride upriver back to the contact we left our cars at. Fire Support Plan: - 160th SOAR assets will be attached to us for the duration of the mission and will coordinate with Viking for support. c. Tasks Primary: Clear Russian VDV Command post and Secure the wounded survivors of the recon team. Secondary: Secure and confirm the destruction of the VDV Assets in the area. d. Coordinating Instructions 1. Load in at 18:30 EST, (Team Training points will be addressed before Switching focus on this mission.) 2.

Return fire only, up to the point of the assault. BLUFOR may engage VDV forces without additional restriction. In the event of heavy civilian presence, explosives must be authorized through HQ. Aviation may not engage unarmed individuals, buildings, structures or vehicles not deemed hostile. General ROE: 4.
