[Capt Boyle]

WARNING ORDER
MSOT 8311 & 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 city of Beketov.

 

c. Area of Operations is AO TITAN.

 

• The terrain is low hills with urban areas.
  Weather is expected to be clear with a low chance of rain.
  The time will be 1500 on the 24th of May.

 
d. Enemy Forces.

• Serbian 3rd Brigade has reached the outskirts of the city from the North. The 4th Brigade is closing in as well from the East. The force consists of armored, mechanized, motorized, artillery, and airmobile forces that have all been seen in the AO advancing South. Several thrusts are moving toward the city from the North and East of the city. The city is the primary strategic objective for Serbian forces in the area. They will not stop until this city is taken, intact or not.  

 
e. Friendly Forces

• What’s left of the Kosovan 1st and 2nd Infantry Battalions are attempting to slow the Serbian advance in the North but they are on their last legs. This is their final stand. What’s left of their armor is gone, the last of their mortars are in their final positions, and their two remaining AA guns are dug in. Several Kosovan Units have set up in defensive positions on the North side of the city. They will hold until the end.

 
f. Attachments and Detachments

• 160th SOAR

 

2. MISSION.

• Alpha Company (WHO) is attempting to slow the Serbian advance (WHAT) against the KSF in AO TITAN (WHERE) to buy time for civilians to evacuate (WHY).

 

3. EXECUTION.
a. Concept of Operations.

• MSOT 8311 is tasked with reaching OBJ Traffic and rescuing the First Deputy Prime Minister. His convoy was ambushed and pinned down before they could get to the city. He has been selected to lead the Kosovan Government-in-Exile and must get to the Evac Point at all costs. His escort is currently pinned down and needs support. They report heavy Serb reinforcements inbound through the forest. 8311 will then support the Kosovans in the Northeast of the city.

 

• MSOT 8312 is tasked with destroying OBJ Light, the power station to the North of the city. The Kosovans need it blown to cripple the coming Serbian occupation. The Serbs are moving down the MSR with armor and will reach the city soon. 8312 is to do as much damage to the armored vanguard as possible before they reach the city. They are to then fall back to Kosovan defensive positions in the Northwest of the city and support their forces. 

 

• Both teams are to hold the Serbs back until the order to evacuate is given. The code phrase for this is "JENGA, JENGA, JENGA". Once the order is given, they are to pull back to the Evac Point and board any available helicopter to extract to Montenegro in the West. 

 

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