WARNING ORDER

MSOT 8311

 

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 Brigade has largely fled the area, but the 72nd Special Operations Brigade is still in the AO. Hostile aviation has largely been eliminated, though there may be a few Serbian helicopters still in the AO. We are beginning operations to aid the Montenegrins in preparing to liberate their territory.

 

b. The Area of Interest is near the town of Dencity.

 

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 0330 on the 4th 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 2nd Brigade has set up an HQ and forward artillery position in the town of Dencity and is putting heavy fire on the Southern front. A combination of MLRS and SRBM (Short-Range Ballistic Missile) batteries are located in the area surrounding the city, as are AA positions. Motorized and mechanized QRFs are likely in the area, and a sizable force is assembled on the front lines to the South. 

 

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. A mechanized force with some donated equipment is being prepared in the South. Montenegrin resistance forces are operating behind the lines and will help if able. Carrier Air Wing One is on standby to conduct supporting strikes if needed. 

 

f. Attachments and Detachments

 

• 160th SOAR
• Carrier Air Wing One
• Battleaxe 1-2 (Battery of 4x D-30 howitzers)
• Broadsword 3-4 (Battery of 4x D-30 howitzers)

 

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 8311 is tasked with seizing control of the Serbian forward HQ and hijacking the Serbian SRBM battery. From interrogations with the POW Viking brought in, we have secured command codes for the Serbian Field Artillery Tactical Data System, which will allow 8311 to remotely target the SRBMs and turn them against the Serbs. 8311 will need to take the command station intact and hold the position while the coordinates are uploaded. The target for the SRBMs will be a Serbian FOB not far from the frontlines to the South. Once the missiles are fired, 8311 will need to ensure the SRBM launchers destruction along with any nearby MLRS. After that, 8311 is tasked with aiding the Montenegrin force to the South advance.

 

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