WARNING ORDER
MSOT 8313 HadesSITUATION: 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.

WARNING ORDER
MSOT 8311 LegionSITUATION: The situation in Venezuela has spiralled rapidly. In the aftermath of 8313's operation and Strike Package Asteroid, widespread uprisings began in cities across the country as the government lost much of its credibility, but critically, not the loyalty of most of its forces. There are reports of fighting in at least 12 major cities, and opposition groups have proclaimed a "Salvation Unity Government" in three of them. The loyalist Venezuelan government forces are trying to crush this revolt as quickly and as brutally as possible, with an estimated 1,260 dead in the last 24 hours. Washington is unwilling to allow this slaughter to continue and has authorized the Arlington ARG to establish a Humanitarian Safe Zone around the city of San Antero.

Domestic Situation Deteriorates in Venezuela as Caracas Calls American Strikes an Act of War
The growing violence in Venezuela reached a new level yesterday as aircraft from the Venezuelan Air Force bombed several positions in the city of Valencia, killing several dozen. A spokesperson for the government said that the strikes were conducted against “armed insurrectionist groups who were attacking government troops”. Sources on the ground countered the claims, saying the targets were a first aid station and several gatherings of protestors. While the targets are disputed, the casualty count is confirmed to be at least 83 dead, 197 wounded, with the numbers expected to rise. The recent series of protests that began over a month ago has escalated several times, and analysts warn that the crisis is on the verge of descending into a full-blown civil war. Many fear this most recent attack will only push the possibility closer to reality.
A photo claiming to be from San Antonio, Venezuela, as the clashes escalate
Meanwhile, in the aftermath of the American retaliatory strikes on Venezuelan missile launchers, Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro issued a statement that a “state of war now existed between the United States and Venezuela”. While claiming that the US was acting as “an imperialist power”, Maduro dismissed the US stance that it was responding to unprovoked aggression against its vessels. He went further to claim that any US aircraft or vessel detected within Venezuelan territorial waters or airspace will be attacked. Civilian flights have been cancelled to Venezuela, and maritime traffic is giving the Latin American nation a wide berth. The Pentagon confirmed that the US was moving the Arlington Amphibious Ready Group, consisting of two landing ships and several destroyers, into the region due to the increasing instability of the area and was ready to provide humanitarian aid. Additionally, rumors are swirling that the Organization of American States is considering recognizing the protest movement in Venezuela as the legitimate government. Brazilian sources reported that there was a push by both American and Brazilian representatives towards that goal, though both governments have neither confirmed nor denied that it is their official stance.

American Cargo Ship Reported Seized Off Venezuelan Coast
An American cargo ship, the Illinois Express, is reported to have been hijacked on its way to Aruba, 20 miles from Venezuela. The incident is reported to have occurred approximately 50 miles off the Venezuelan coast at 5:23 pm local time. The vessel’s crew reported that a pair of small boats were following them and that they had received hails from someone claiming to be “local authorities” demanding that they halt their vessel. An additional report from the ship stated that the small ships had fired warning shots and were attempting to board. No further communications were reported from the ship, though maritime tracking sites were able to ping the ship’s position traveling South towards Venezuela before its transponder was turned off. The Venezuelan government denied involvement in the reported hijacking, with a government spokesman claiming “the only pirates in the region are the US Navy”. The White House released a statement saying that they were monitoring the situation and were in contact with the ship’s owners and were attempting to establish a dialogue with the Venezuelan government.

Venezuela, officially the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, is in the grips of widespread unrest after a crackdown two weeks ago led to dozens of fatalities in Caracas, with many more reported, but unconfirmed, in other cities. Several opposition groups have declared the Maduro regime illegitimate in the face of the renewed violence and are calling for new elections. Attempts by the Organization of American States to negotiate between the two sides were flatly dismissed by the Venezuelan government as “unwarranted for an internal matter of national security”. While the United States and the European Union have issued statements of support for the opposition groups, the Russian Federation stated that “they would not tolerate another imperialist land grab by the United States and its puppets” as they announced their support of the Maduro regime.

***FLASH TRAFFIC*** ***FLASH TRAFFIC*** ***FLASH TRAFFIC***
Date: April, 25th, 2024
FROM: SUPREME ALLIED COMMANDER EUROPETO: ALL COMBATANT COMMANDS IN THE EUROPEAN AREA OF OPERATIONS
Intelligence has determined with a high level of confidence that the leadership of the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia has recovered the capability to deploy their nuclear force for offensive operations. CIA and NSA sources have intercepted orders from Kaliningrad to the 4th Rocket Brigade to begin dispersion and launch procedures. At this time, it is unconfirmed if the nuclear warheads have been mated with their launchers, but intelligence believes that to be an inevitability. Given past statements by the new leadership of the DPRL and the ongoing conflict, it is assessed that there is a high likelihood that the DPRL may attempt a nuclear attack on the Republic of Livonia or NATO countries. The DPRL possesses 55 tactical warheads (50-120kt yield) and 10 strategic warheads (250-330kt yield). The latter have a range of approximately 2000km and are capable of targeting sites as far away as Southern France. Efforts are underway to minimize this threat.
Effective immediately, begin executing appropriate defensive deployment and preparatory actions pursuant to the tasks assigned in DODP 1983. Inform subordinate commands at once. A similar warning is being sent by the Department of Defense.
Commander USAREUR inform the Livonians. All US bases in Europe are directed to take appropriate measures against possible nuclear attack.

WARNING ORDER
MSOT 8313 Hades & 160th SOARSITUATION: 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 BTR-60s and T-55s. The 944th Artillery Brigade and 34th Special Forces Company have also been detected in the AO. This is a combined arms mechanized force with limited air support.
FRIENDLY:
4th Battalion of the Iron Wolf Brigade (ROL) consisting of two air assault companies and one mechanized company.The Republic of Livionian Air Force is attempting to provide CAP, but limited airframes mean they cannot guarantee complete coverage.
MISSION:
MSOT 8313 will
Eliminate the DPRL mechanized force attempting to breakthrough between the 1st and 2nd CompaniesBe ready to assist friendly adjacent units

South Livonia Attacks North, Hundreds Feared Dead
The silence of the early morning hours along the Livonia DMZ was shattered by a series of artillery barrages and airstrikes as South Livonian forces launched a sudden attack across the quasi-border. Many believed that the rogue state, still reeling from the abrupt death of its dictator a few days ago, would be in disarray for some time to come. Instead, according to the Republic of Livonia's Ministry of Defense, the bulk of the Democratic People's Republic of Livonia's armed forces attacked dozens of places along the DMZ. The ROL confirmed the presence of at least four DPRL Motor Rifle Regiments that have crossed the border in force, with more suspected of being not far behind.ROL forces near the DMZ under an artillery barrage
The Pentagon was quick to comment in the initial hours of the attack that it is currently monitoring the situation and that while US forces are in the non-NATO country as part of a joint US-Republic of Livonian training scheme, no US forces are believed to be in combat at this time. A US destroyer is also reportedly operating in the Baltic off the coast, but the Pentagon stated that they would not be discussing precise deployments at this time. When asked how the DPRL could launch such a massive attack without any warning, representatives of the Intelligence Community said the current working theory is that several plans exist within the DPRL for a sudden attack and that one, or multiple were in effect. An emergency session of NATO has been called and the White House said the President had called the Livonian Prime Minister and the German Chancellor.

WARNO OPERATION SUNDOWN 03-25 MSOT 8311 LEGION
in Operation Orders
Posted
WARNING ORDER
MSOT 8311 Legion
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.
OBJ FLIGHT RISK: With the rapid gains from SUG forces and the crippling of their close air support, Loyalist forces have been encircled and are attempting to extract via airlift. The y have taken over an old abandoned airfield near Ovejas and are ferrying transport flights as quickly as they can. Forces present at OBJ FLIGHT RISK consist of a small guard detachment from the 132nd Infantry Battalion and Air Force ground crew. Expect them to be lightly armed and poorly equipped. The rest of the 132nd, however, will be conducting a fighting retreat towards the airfield from the surrounding areas, though they have mostly lost or abandoned their heavy equipment. Anticipate a battalion-level force throughout the mission.
