d. Enemy Forces

 

 

• Serbian 4th Brigade is attempting to pull back from their positions in the city of Beketov, but their lack of fuel is hindering their escape. Serbian Pride paramilitary forces are also suspected to be retreating North with the bulk of the Serbian regular troops. The force consists of armored, mechanized, motorized, and artillery forces that have all been seen in the AO retreating North. There may be lingering SAMs with this force as it retreats.

• Kosovan resistance forces are operating behind the lines and may be able to provide support, but they are currently attempting a widescale uprising across the country.
