OPERATION ORDER

 

DATE OF OPERATION
OTL 13JAN24 - 1500 EST
IUT XXDEC22 - Before Sunrine IGT

 

ORIENTATION:  With Viking's seizure of the airfield, we can now begin evacuating US citizens. Unfortunately due to the situation on the ground, there is no local force we can rely on to escort those citizens to safety. We will have to send our teams out into the region and extract them ourselves to the airfield.

2. MISSION

Alpha Company (WHO) is conducting operations (WHAT) in AO SANDMAN (WHERE) to establish an evacuation route for US citizens and extract those unable to reach the airfield (WHY).

 

3. EXECUTION

 

a. Commander's Intent
Commander's intent is to rescue any and all US Citizens in AO SANDMAN or otherwise specifically at OBJ TROUT.

 

b. Concept of the Operation

HADES will be tasked with reaching an aid camp (OBJ TROUT) with several civilians trapped in the town of Qibcaq North of the Airbase. Drone footage has revealed ongoing fighting within the town between both factions. The tight confines of the town and heavy fighting will make a direct landing difficult. The aid workers' previous attempt to extract via their helicopter failed when the helicopter was destroyed.

 

 

- Scheme of Maneuver (See Coordinating Instructions for Visual)
Hades will insert via 160th SOAR at PLZ RAINBOW (113,121) with SLZ BROOK (113,122) & TLZ TIGER (111,124) as backup LZs
Hades will move to AP ICE (114,120) and begin assaulting towards OBJ TROUT(114,117 SE QUAD).
Hades will then move to OBJ TROUT clearing out any resistance along the way.
At OBJ TROUT, Hades will ensure the safety, health, and numbers of Aid workers and any other US Citizens.
Hades will then secure the area immediately surrounding OBJ TROUT.
Hades will then secure a suitable LZ for extraction if not already available.
Hades will then request appropriate extract for aid workers and will exfil with if space or orders allow it. 
Hades will consider other possible exfil options if aviation exfil is not possible.
Hades will otherwise remain in place and defend until additional transportation is available or additional orders are received.
