  1. WARNING ORDER MSOT 8312 VIKING SITUATION: With the collapse of the Venezuelan loyalist forces and the consolidation of the SUG forces across the North of the country, most direct engagements have ended with conventional forces. However, there are still pockets of loyalist resistance, and they appear to be attempting to establish an insurgency. SUG forces have been recognized as the legitimate government, but since they are overstretched attempting to solidify their new position, they have requested aid. Washington has agreed to help and is deploying us as advisors and support personnel to bolster the new Venezuelan forces. Use of identifiable markers for US personnel are now required and given our new role, we are not authorized to engage unless fired upon, unless explicitly instructed otherwise. ENEMY: The main OPFOR in this AO are the remnants of Loyalist units that were defeated conventionally and are now attempting to fight an insurgency. Force size, equipment, and exact tactics are unknown at this time. Expect normal insurgent actions. FRIENDLY: Venezuelan SUG forces. Note: SUG forces have not yet been able to provide uniforms for all its soldiers. Expect some degree of variation and even civilian clothing in some cases. MISSION: MSOT 8312 will conduct a mounted patrol to investigate suspicious activity to the South of FOB BRASS at POIs APACHE, DAKOTA, IROQUOIS & COMANCHE Interupting tasking may be required as Intel becomes available. ROUNDTABLE will advise. 160th SOAR will Support MSOT 8312 Interupting tasking may be required as Intel becomes available. ROUNDTABLE will advise. COMMANDERS INTENT: Demonstrate our presence and support the new government. Pick a fight with local insurgents. RECONNAISSANCE: Frontlines are no longer present in this AO. Enemy forces have melted into the jungle or into the civilian population. Precise locations of insurgent cells is not available. Any intel you gather in field will improve the picture. 8312 AO WEATHER: Clear 09NOV24 IU 14:00 SPECIAL EQUIPMENT M-ATVs, SLAT Armor kit. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS ROE: 1. Do not fire unless hostile intent is shown. (Pointing weapons in your direction, maneuvering on your position, attempting to interfere with the convoy) 2. Armed civilians will be present in your AO, they are not to be engaged unless displaying hostile intent. 3. SHOUT, SHOW, SHOOT (Warning shots should be attempted but we recognize that this may not always be practical when faced with speeding vehicles and poor sightlines. Attempting to disable vehicles is preferable to killing the driver) 4. Respect civilian property (Minimize use of HE in and around structures whenever possible) 5. No entry in this ROE should be interpreted as forcing you to endanger your team needlessly. Exercise sound judgement at all times. Code Words SHATTER: Sending station is combat ineffective.

  2. WARNING ORDER MSOT 8312 VIKING SITUATION: The situation in Venezuela has only further deteriorated, turning into an all-out civil war. While most of the Venezuelan armed forces remained loyal to Caracas and President Maduro, some did break away, and many ad-hoc militias have formed. Officially, while the United States has recognized the opposition group's Salvation Unity Government (SUG) as the legitimate government of Venezuela, we are not to engage any Venezuelan forces outside of a 4km exclusion zone from the San Antero Port. However, Washington has concluded that the SUG will not last long without support. As such, we have been ordered to provide clandestine support for the SUG forces outside of the exclusion zone. All ground forces are to ensure that there are no identifiable markings on their person that can tie them back to US military forces while deployed outside of the exclusion zone. ENEMY: The main OPFOR in this AO are elements of the 12th Caribbean Ranger, 13th Infantry, and 14th Mechanized Infantry Brigades, of the 1st Infantry Division of the Venezuelan Army, and the Venezuelan Air Force is theoretically capable of responding within 30 mins. The 1st Infantry is a combined arms mechanized force with BMP-3s, BTR-80As, T-72B1s, and artillery support, with light airmobile forces reported nearby.

  5. CIVIL WAR IN VENEZUELA!!! The past week has been a tumultuous one for Venezuela as the country slips ever further into crisis. Since the military opened fire on a large crowd in Caracas last week the Venezuelan people have taken up arms and begun forming militias. Attacking police and isolated military installations. Since last week 107 government soldiers and 30 police officers have been killed and hundreds more injured in clashes with armed militias. Casualties among the militias remain uncertain but are believed to number several dosen. The Organization of American States (OAS) has unilaterally implemented severe sanctions of the Venezuelans economy as well as several prominent members of the government, including President Maduro. The OAS also reiterates its recognition of Venezuelan opposition leader Zacarías Franco as the legitimate president of Venezuela. Franco has been at the forefront of the protests ever since they began and is at this point considered their de facto leader. Joachim Benoit, spokesperson for the UN General Assembly stated in a press conference yesterday that the UN is willing to host talks and mediate in the conflict, citing an urgent need to curb the rising wave of violence gripping Venezuela. Franco has stated he is more than willing to work with the UN towards this goal, Russia and China have both denounced both the OAS Sanctions and the UN mediation efforts as “Neo-Imperialism” and made cautious statements of support for Nicolas Maduro’s regime. ADANews will continue to follow the devolopments of what is quickly being called "The Venezuelan Crisis" Simon Tam ADANews
  6. Venezuela in chaos as government is on the brink of collapse Over the last month the government of Nicholas Maduro, president of Venezuela, has been failing to come to grips with an ever increasing crisis. The country's economic stagnation and rampant corruption has seen harvests fail, oil revenues disappear into private pockets and demonstrations being brutally put down. The heavy handed response from the government has failed to restore order and instead only given rise to new, more intense protests which in many cases have turned into riots in the previous weeks. The government has been responding with ever increasing crackdowns, deploying riot police with water cannons and tear gas to forcibly disperse crowds. Last week President Maduro took a furhter drastic step in an attempt to come to grips with the escalating unrest. The military was called in to a major protest at the presidential palace in the capital of Caracas. Local police were overwhelmed and the military opened fire on the crowd leaving 12 dead and over 50 wounded with many of the wounded being women and children. This turned the protests and riots into proper acts of insurrection. Citizens armed themselves and have been attacking government buildings in large numbers. Often targeting police stations in order to acquire firearms in larger numbers. Venezuelan rebels outside Tucupido with captured firearms The current week has been marked by sporadic skirmishes in virtually all major Venezuelan cities as citizens acquire more and more firearms for themselves and launch ever bolder attacks on both police and military posts across the country. Reports are also coming in about police and soldiers defecting to the protestors further increasing their capacity to fight back against government supression attempts. Already various groups are stating their goal to overthrow the Maduro regime and establish a new government. At this point the US has made no official comment on the matter but undisclosed sources are claiming increased activity at marine and naval bases on the East coast. Simon Tam ADANews

  7. WARNING ORDER MSOT 8312 VIKING SITUATION: With the detonation of a tactical nuclear weapon by the DPRL in an attempt to deter further ROL advances, NATO has authorized an intervention to secure all DPRL nuclear weapons and prevent any further launches. A NATO strike campaign is being prepared and enemy air and air defense assets are being suppressed. ROL forces are advancing as quickly as possible to secure or eliminate any further launch sites. Griffin Brigade is currently tearing what remains of the 12th MRR to shreds. 12th MRR is rotating forces all along the front, especially along the Muratyn-Nadbor Axis. ENEMY: The main OPFOR in this AO is the 12th Motor Rifle Regiment of the Livonian People's Army as well as a Battalion of the Workers and People's Red Militia (WPRM). The 12th MRR is the last large-scale unit between ROL forces and the capital of Kaliningrad. It is equipped with T-80B tanks, BTR-80s, gun and rocket artillery, and trained soldiers. The WPRM is largely equipped with only small arms and light vehicles. Air defense in the area is believed to be a handful of anti-aircraft guns but hostile radars have been suppressed or destroyed. The 944th Artillery Brigade and 11th Special Forces Company have also been detected in the AO. This is a combined arms mechanized force with very limited air support.

  9. WARNING ORDER MSOT 8312 Viking & 160th SOAR SITUATION: After the initial DPRL attacks ran out of steam, it became clear that there was little to follow up behind the vanguard forces. Most of the surviving DPRL units in ROL territory have retreated back across the border, with ROL troops hot on their heels. Officially, the US is only willing to support defensive actions in ROL territory, but unofficially, Washington is willing to support the ROL in ending this as quickly as possible to prevent a possible nuclear escalation ENEMY: The main OPFOR in this AO is the 285th Motor Rifle Regiment of the Livonian People's Army as well as a Battallion of the Workers and People's Red Militia (WPRM). The 285th is a reserve unit thrown in to blunt the ROL counterattack and is equiped with older, sub standard, but still lethal equipment such as BTR70s and T55 Tanks. Regimental HQ Security forces are expected to be around platoon sized with extremely limited night fighting capabilities. Gun Based AA such as quad 14.5s and 50mm cannons are expected and should be priority targets if encountered. FRIENDLY: 160th SOAR is in the AO Duke Vaidotas Infantry Battallion (Airmobile) of the ROL Iron Wolf Brigade is inbound. MISSION MSOT 8312 will conduct and aerial insert through one of the gaps in the DPRL lines and secure OBJ LINDOR (159,025). Securing OBJ LINDOR will allow ROL Air Assault force a staging ground to set up a FARP for further air operations in the AO. Ideally OBJ LINDOR will be seized without raising enemy awareness. Following the taking of OBJ LINDOR MSOT 8312 will proceed to OBJ VIENTOS. OBJ VIENTOS is the regimental HQ of the 285th Motor Rifle Regiment of the Livonian People's Army. Knocking this HQ out will destablizie the 285th's sector and allow the ROL to conduct virtually unopposed rotary airlifts into OBJ LINDOR. MSOT 8312 will Assault OBJ LINDOR as quietly as possible. Hold OBJ LINDOR until relieved by lead elements of the Duke Vaidotas Infantry Battallion (Airmobile) of the ROL Iron Wolf Brigade. Conduct an assault on OBJ VIENTOS, securing the regimental HQ of the 285th Motor Rifle Regiment. Hold OBJ VIENTOS. Enemy countarattacks are expected to be scattered and uncoordinated however the presence of elite DPRL Airforce squadron "STRIGON TEAM" friendly air support will have to excercise great caution. Upon relief at OBJ VIENTOS MOST 8312 will conduct R&R at OBJ VIENTOS and await further tasking. 160th SOAR Will Provide initial covert insert of MSOT 8312. Standby to conduct srikes elsewhere in the AO as ROL intel suggests targets of opportunity can and will present themselves COMMANDERS INTENT Decapitate the 285th Motor Rifle Regiment to disrupt OPFOR C2 in the face of the ongoing ROL counterattack RECONNAISSANCE Due to the haste with which the ROL counterattack has happend no aerial photos of the OBJ yet exists.

  12. OPERATION EVERGREEN Kingdom of Ardistan Ministry of the Interior Crisis Troop Cold Harbor Special Projects Group Kill Team EMBER Description: This is a loose continuation of a previous series of fun ops that I ran nearly 2 years ago and felt like picking back up. Ideally this would be run on Friday evenings around 2000EST. However time is subject to change depending on peoples availability. No additional mods will be required for this fun op BUT as with all fun ops I run the emphasis is on the operation part. You will be expected to act accordingly. Situation: The Kingdom of Ardistan teeters on the edge of all out civil war. The recent attempt to violently overthrow the ever more unpopular king Garam IV has resulted in a ruthless crackdown by the royal army under the command of General Khasam. General Khasam has been afforded emergency powers by royal decree and effectively rules Ardistan as dictator. Sensing weakness the neighbouring Islamic Republic of Qasra has begun massive funding of local religious fanatics, known collectively as “The Shadow Emirate”. The Shadow Emirate has claimed responsibility for a slew of recent acts of terror all over the country, including suicide bombing of several schools, hospitals and even military installations. Shadow Emirate forces operate from the loosely defined border area, called the “border clades”, between Ardistan and Qasra, meaning neither country is willing to commit conventional military assets to the area. Mission: Cold Harbor Kill Team 381, CALLSIGN: EMBER, is subordinated to the Ardistan Ministry of the Interior for the duration of this contract and is tasked with enforcing the Kingdoms COIN program targeting Shadow Emirate strongholds in the border clades. EMBER will be operating out of Mission Support Site (MSS) 88 located within the confines of Ardistans Airbase TAMERLANE. EMBER operators will deploy in western style plain clothes to ensure no confusion between EMBER operatives, locals and Shadow Emirate forces.

  13. Takistani crisis escalates The ongoing crisis in Takistan seems to be undergoing an escalation following the involvement of the US and the use of military force to evacuate its citizens and embassy personnel that were trapped in the country following the violent coup by the extremist Islamic Resistance Party of Takistan (IRPT). The IRPT has been moving against government holdouts as well as positions held by forces loyal to the Party of Economic Rerform (PER). The PER is an amalgamation of more liberal forces in Takistan united by Fariad Mirzo, a liberal reformer who has been in and out of hiding for most of his political career. Fariad Mirzo and the PER have been officially recognized by the US and several EU member states as the legitimate government of Takistan, with the Moore administration promising both financial and military support. PER Leader Fariad Mirzo seen in PER territory with suspected US Special Forces. In the capital city of Sa’hatra IRPT Leader Muhiddin Kabiri announced that what he calls a “US intervention” will be met with a strong response, including attacks on US assets and allies in neighboring Afghanistan. The Moore administration has yet to confirm or deny any US troops in the country officially after the evacuation of US citizens. However, a source within the Moore administration speaking on the conduction of anonymity confirmed that US forces were already in the country and conducting operations aimed at undermining the IRPT government and preventing them from destabilizing the region.

  14. Coup underway in San Esperito. Numerous reports are coming out of the small Caribbean island nation of San Esperito of an ongoing violent coup attempt. Reportedly this coup is undertaken by members of a hardline faction within the country's military led by Colonel Gustavo Calderon as well as paramilitary militias loyal to Calderon. Gunfire could be heard across the small island nation all day as Calderons forces engaging government forces and try to seize control of the island. As things stand now Calderons’s Junta controls 70 % of the island and will likely assume full control early tomorrow. With so many eyes focused on the Serbian invasion of Kosovo and Montenegro this new flashpoint has gone remarkably unnoticed with an official statement from the US and UN still not forthcoming. Pro Calderon forces attacking the San Esperito post office. With San Esperito having been hit particularly hard by the recent Hurricane Fiona, and intenational aid mostly directed towards the ongoing conflict in the Balkans, San Esperitos economy has nearly collapsed and living standards have plummeted across the island. As a result the people of San Esperito has turned to political extremes and primarily to Colonel Calderon who is very popular among Esperitoans. Calderon’s great grandfather led the Esperitoan rebels in a revolt against the Spanish that eventually saw the island gain independence. The Calderon family has become something of a permanent dynasty in Esperitoan military circles and the coup seems to have broad public support from the Esperitoan people. ADA News will continue to monitor the situation as it develops. Simon Tam ADA News War Correspondent
  15. WAR IN EUROPE The balkan powderkeg erupts again On the morning of May 21st 2021. Approximately 12 hours ago the Armed forces of Serbia launched several attacks across the borders with Kosovo and Montenegro. 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Land forces Brigades are reportedly spearheading the attacks with airstrikes reported all along the border regions. This comes after an escalation in rhetoric from the new Serbian government in recent months. Denouncing Kosovo and Montenegro as illegitimate breakaway regions of Serbia and has vowed to restore them to Serbian control. While the US and NATO had been tracking a buildup of forces along the Kosovan border, key elements of an invasion were still lacking, such as the required logistics and medical train. These perceived shortcomings seem to have caused a severe underestimation of Serbia’s military capabilities as well as the new Serbian government's willingness to use military force to further its foreign policy goals. Initial reports suggest the Serbian forces are making quick progress into Kosovo and Montenegro with scattered indications of heavy Serbian casualties at a handful of strongpoints across Kosovo. Rumors persist that these strongpoints are held by American special forces who were in Kosovo to train the KSF, although no official statements to that effect have been forthcoming from the US Department of Defense. Neither as any official statements come from Russia in regards to the Fighter regiment stationed on Serbian airbases. ADANews will continue to monitor the conflict as always.

  16. Russian aircraft arrive in Serbia for joint training. In a statement from the Serbian Ministry of Defence, the Serbian government has announced a large-scale military exercise alongside Russia. The exercise, set to take place between May 1st and June 30th, is officially to test the overall readiness of Serbian forces in responding to emerging crises but is more than likely set to be a response to the joint US-Kosovo exercise taking place at the same time. Relations between Serbia and Kosovo have been poor ever since Kosovo declared and gained its independence in 2008, a move that was illegal according to the Serbian constitution. The exercise will be the largest exercise since the withdrawal of NATO forces from Kosovo (KFOR) in 2015 and involve nearly 60.000 soldiers from all branches of the Serbian military and police forces. Russian airforce plans spotted on undisclosed Serbian airbase Along with Serbian troops, Russia is sending the 36th Guards Fighter Regiment to take part in the exercise. This will be the largest deployment of Russian troops to a European country outside of Belarus since the fall of the Soviet Union. This deployment has drawn the eye of militaries all across Europe. Especially nearby NATO members Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, and Hungary as well as NATO candidate Montenegro have taken an interest in this sudden appearance of the Russian Airforce in their backyard. Albania, Bulgaria, and Romania have all increased their air patrols as well as requested further joint NATO assistance in establishing air patrols over the Balkans much like NATO air patrols in the Baltic countries. Declassified satelite image of undisclosed Serbian airbase As always ADANews will continue to cover this situation as it unfolds. This potential flashpoint in the Balkans threaten to open up the wounds of the Yugoslav wars as well as the "foolish thing in the Balkans" that sparked the horrendous slaughter of the first world war.

  20. Order returns to Kidal. A sense of order and normalcy has been returned to the Malian city of Kidal. The city was recently a heavily contested battleground between Malian, French and US Forces on one side and the islamic extremists of Boko Haram on the other. Boko Haram was able to secure large parts of the city in a surprise attack following a mutiny in the Malian army. The French and Malian forces present in Kidal were pushed back to the large military base just outside the city or confined in pockets scattered arun the city. A successful counterattack spearheaded by American Special Forces saw much of the city regained, however Boko Haram managed to set off several chemical weapons, initially believed to be Sarin gas, across the city. Decontamination work is expected to be ongoing for at least the coming month. Despite the lingering chemical threat the Mayor of Kidal alongside representatives of the Malian government as well as the French and American military held a large press conference in the city regarding the current status of military operations and their successes against Boko Haram. It was declared that Martial law will be lifted and additional IDAP assets be brought in as soon as French EOD techs have cleared safe passages through the heavily booby trapped parts of the city. The Mayor of Kidal arrives at FOB Botieux under heavy guard. During the press conference the Mayor layed out grand plans for the revitalization of Kidal. French and US forces are expected to remain in the region for an initial stabilization period where these troops will be patrolling the city and eliminating remaining pockets of Boko Haram resistance.
