WARNING ORDER

MSOT 8312 VIKING

1. SITUATION.

With loyalist forces scattered in isolated pockets of resistance A Co, 3dMRB remains one of the only units in theatre capable of offering qualified resistance.

2. MISSION.
Alpha Company (WHO) is conducting operations (WHAT) in AO SANDMAN (WHERE) in order to blunt TIRP offensives and hamper their attempt to seize control of the entire country (WHY)

 

3. EXECUTION.
a. Concept of Operations.

VIKINGs initial tasking will be conducting recon against and ultiamtely seizing OBJ STINGRAY, a TNA firebase that has defected to the TIRP. OBJ STINGRAY is currently providing support for TIRP operations in AO SANDMAN. OBJ STINGRAY lies rather exposed in its current position and is believed that TIRP will soon send significant reinforcements to the area in order to secure the firebase making this mission time sensitive and an absolute priority for VIKING. Seizing the firebase will severely hamper TIRP artillery support in the AO and life a lot of pressure off the remaining loyalist strongpoints. Capturing the firebase guns intact would make for a nice ice breaker for future talks to formalize cooperation with remaining loyalist forces BUT IS NOT A PRIORITY, destroy them if necessary.

Further tasking will be provided as ROUNDTABLE recieves further intel regarding enemy pushes.

Maps
BE ADVISED, DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS NO DRONE FOOTAGE HAS BEEN GATHERED OVER OBJ STINGRAY AT THIS TIME. VIKING WILL BE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT ITS OWN ISR AS THIS MISSION IS TIME SENSITIVE
