WARNING ORDER
MSOT 8312
 
1. SITUATION.

a. Overview: Serbian forces have invaded Kosovo and Montenegro, and the US has intervened. Currently, the Serbian 1st and 2nd Brigades are attempting to hold their positions and consolidate their gains, but the Montenegrins are preparing to counterattack. The 63rd Parachute and 72nd Special Operations Brigades are still operating in the area. Hostile fixed-wing has largely been grounded by allied CAP, though Serbian helicopters are still ducking in and out between the mountains in the AO. We need to begin operations to aid the Montenegrins in preparing to liberate their territory.

 

b. The Area of Interest is the airfield in the Northeast.

 

c. Area of Operations is AO ATLAS.

 

• The terrain is hills and small mountains with dense forests and urban areas.
• Weather is expected to be clear with a low chance of rain.
• The time will be 1845 on the 2nd of June.

 
d. Enemy Forces.

 

• Serbian 1st Brigade is attempting to hold on the West side of the river while the 2nd Brigade is digging on the East side. The force consists of armored, mechanized, motorized, artillery, and airmobile forces that have all been seen in the AO. The 63rd Parachute Brigade is currently redeploying its forces away from the frontlines in an attempt to limit its losses. They are based at the airfield in the Northeast of the AO with at least two remaining companies and several helicopters. Serbian checkpoints have been established throughout the occupied territory.

 
e. Friendly Forces

 

• The Montenegrin 2nd Infantry Battalion is holding the area and preparing to advance with our support. They are stretched thin but are beginning to concentrate their forces. Montenegrin resistance forces are operating behind the lines, and will help if able

2. MISSION.
Alpha Company (WHO) is attempting to roll back Serbian gains (WHAT) against the Montenegrins in AO ATLAS (WHERE) to liberate the country (WHY).

 

3. EXECUTION.
a. Concept of Operations.
MSOT 8312 is tasked with providing real-time targeting information to the Truman Strike Group against the 63rd Brigade and its assets at the Northeast airfield. Its location in a valley makes airstrikes difficult and it still has a sizable SHORAD presence. 8312 will call in Tomahawk missile strikes against all available targets at OBJ HIGHWAY, with priority targets being any aircraft, fuel depots, and troop concentrations. 16x Tomahawk missiles have been allocated for this strike which will occur in concert with a coordinated air and missile strike against the rest of the Serbian Air Force.

 

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