Briefing to follow
The Under Secretary of State is currently in critical condition due to a roadside bombing which occurred while touring the oblast of Podagorsk. This development indicates a continued escalation of threat to US interests in the region. Recent events have included Russia's threats against the Ukraine, and resulting NATO exercises scheduled in Ukraine, the Ukrainian assaults on separatists on their eastern border, riots inside of Podagorsk and now confirmation of a terrorist organization linked to them. As a worst case scenario, if the Republic of Chernarus, or it's oblast of Podagorsk, are destabilized and occupied by either Russian Ultranationalists or by Russian Forces it will pose a serious threat to the region. Re-securing this region is vital to US interests.
The CIA believes that the group responsible for the bombing is a previously un-identified group taking the namesake of the Red Guard that previously operated in the region. Current intel suggests that, unlike their namesake, they are a Russian ultranationalist organization, rather than a communist one, but the assumption is they maintain the name due to the terror and reputation fostered by the previous Red Guard in the area. Intel also indicates the distinct possibility of the Red Guard being Russian backed, though we have nothing concrete at this time. Task Force Cobra will be tasked with expanding upon the intel collected by the CIA and establishing the Red Guard's support, backing, organization, plans etc, and dismantling the organization in as swift a manner as possible. As was done effectively during Operation Bloodhound, TFC's CIA assets will interface with their local assets upon arrival, brief SOCOM once they arrive and will begin detailing a strategy for dismantling the organization once one becomes viable. Attached is an orientation image. God speed.
