Enemy forces the Revolutionary Islamic Front for Prosperity (RIFP). The RIFP consists of a mix of Rogue ANA units and Islamic insurgents. Expect to see both unifomed an ununiformed combatants. The RIFP has access to a large selection of technicals along with a plethora of different weapons systems mounted on them.

2. MISSION.
Alpha Company (WHO) is conducting FTXs (WHAT) in AO VALKYRIE (WHERE) To improve coordination between Aviation and Ground Elements (WHY).

 

3. EXECUTION.
a. Concept of Operations.
Intel gained from VIKINGs last raid against DUSTER safehouses has rendered actionable intel. A 3rd party asset CODENAME: MAL was disaptched to set up an OP, shortly after his drone footage was sent to us he went radio silent. Reason unknown but it is not the first time MAL has gone silent for unclear reasons. However SIGINT gathered during MALs time at TOP ROPE suggests links between FISHERMAN and the increase in MANPADS seen across the AO.

 

VIKING is tasked with moving to TOP ROPE, MALs OP, and assertain if MAL is still present. Once at TOP ROP, VIKING will conduct recon of OBJ FISHERMAN, confirm presence of DUSTER, members of his cadre or MANPADS. Once that prescence is confirmed VIKING will execute a raid in order to kill or capture DUSTER and/or members of his cadre AND secure any MANPADS and related intel. MAL is NOT your mission, the asset can be disregarded if not present at TOP ROPE.
