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. Check over your gear with a battle buddy.

 

3. organize your Tacs into Columns.  

 - After Final radio check, we will move to the offroad jeeps and stand by.

(Be fast about getting set, once the focus is switched to the mission)

 

4. Plan your gear for versatility. And be mindful to check over your gear, avoid missing equipment.

Tactical Control Measures

A. Suppressors are required on all capable weapons at all times. (Exception for MGs when not Infiltrating or under heavy use, all MGs are expected to exercise discipline, when the MSOT or their Tac intends to stay concealed.)

B. Order of Movement: Viking 2, Viking HQ, Viking 1

C. Security: All elements will individually provide 360 security for their element unless otherwise coordinated between elements on team net. All elements will work together and use initiative to provide team-wide 360 security for the entire Team when the vehicles have halted.

 

d. Civilian Considerations:

All efforts should be made to follow standard ROE regarding Civilians, as we are operating in and around peoples homes. Some Afghanis are just trying to live through the situation they find them selfs in

Specific ROE:
BLUFOR Should limit damage to the civilian infrastructure.

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.

During the campaign to locate the lab, a local source is reporting their compound is under heavy assault from local forces.

A National Clandestine Services team was tasked to extract the source but they were unsuccessful in getting out of the compound before they were surrounded. The source being a local politician we believe this is some sort of power push for control of the region.

Viking is being tasked with extracting the source and his family.  A wife and son along with supporting the extract of the NCS team.
Under no circumstances can the US presence in the region afford the source be captured.

News Room - https://3dmrbru.com/forums/topic/5846-viking-side-ops-news-room/ 

The laptop Viking retrieved previously has finally been unlocked. A thorough scan of the files found documents that contain logs detailing transportation of materials and equipment to a site being called Стабилизатор which translates to Stabilizer. A large amount of medical equipment is currently on the log along with what looks to be the needed materials to repurpose a structure for laboratory use. What is of further interest is that the logs are continually being emailed as they are updated to a Chinese government official Ye Huan possibly linking the Chinese to this region's VDV forces. According to emails, a new supply drop is being made this next Saturday giving an excellent opportunity for the extraction of an HVT for more human intelligence to be gathered.

Viking is tasked with Ambushing this upcoming convoy and Assault the supply depot that has been reoccupied by VDV forces.

 

1. SITUATION

a. Enemy Forces

SALUTE (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment):

EMLCOA (Enemy Most Likely Course of Action): OpFor will be forced to respond to Vikings presence with by attempting to manoeuvre on Viking. The motorized and mechanised forces in the convoy my attempt to blow through any ambush that is set or will respond with extreme force. 

EMDCOA (Enemy Most Dangerous Course of Action): OpFor is tipped off to Viking's ambush and take action to avoid or manoeuvre on the ambush team, If mechanised forces escape the ambush site they may return to the supply depo and attack the assault team from a flanking position.

AO: 

[RUHA] 

In short:  

Viking will be conducting this mission in one of two ways, either splitting the team in order to assault the supply depot around the same time that the convoy is ambushed.
