MSOT 8312

 

1. SITUATION.

 

a. Overview: Serbian forces have invaded Kosovo and Montenegro. Currently, the reinforced Serbian 3rd Brigade is bearing down on us from the North, while the 4th Brigade pushes in from the East. Hostile fixed-wing is conducting CAS and limited CAP missions and Serbian helicopters have been constantly operating in the AO. The Kosovans have stated that they cannot hold for long, but they need to buy time for civilians to evacuate. Delay the Serbs for as long as possible. 

 

b. The Area of Interest is the Krasnye Seltsy area.

 

c. Area of Operations is AO TITAN.

 

• The terrain is low hills with dense forests and urban areas.
• Weather is expected to be clear with a low chance of rain.

d. Enemy Forces.

• Serbian 3rd Brigade is advancing along the MSRs heading South. The force consists of armored, mechanized, motorized, artillery, and airmobile forces that have all been seen in the AO advancing South. Serbian vanguard forces have already entered the town of Krasnye Seltsy and are engaged with Kosovan forces there.  
   

e. Friendly Forces

• The Kosovan 1st Infantry Battalion is attempting to slow the Serbian advance in the North, but is badly outnumbered, outgunned, and stretched thin. They will attempt to keep their foothold in the town of Krasnye Seltsy for as long as possible but are unlikely to last long when Serbian reinforcements arrive.

3. EXECUTION.

a. Concept of Operations.

MSOT 8312 is tasked with breaking through the Serbian lines in the town to meet up with the Kosovan team stranded at the church. They managed to down a Serbian Mig-29 and capture its pilot, but were unable to extract before the Serbs pushed into the town. We are to extract them and then pull out Southwest to the town of Shalaevo. The Kosovans are preparing to blow the bridge but need support

Additional tasking will be given in-field as determined as needed by Roundtable.
