ORIENTATION: Serbian forces have invaded Kosovo and Montenegro. Currently, the Serbian 3rd Brigade is bearing down on us from the North. Hostile fixed-wing is present in roving combat air patrols and enemy helicopters have been operating in the AO. Secure comms with higher have not been established due to jamming and the Kosovans have lost contact with their command in Pristina as well. Serbia is using a significant amount of fires to screen their advance. Delay them for as long as possible.
