2. MISSION

3. EXECUTION
a. Commander's Intent
The commander's intent is to launch a raid on OBJ Hessian to disable the Fire Wolves aircraft and prevent the establishment of a SAM site and FOB which could limit allied operations in the AO. 

 

b. Concept of the Operation

VIKING will insert to either LZ HOUSE or LZ GAMBLE  via 160th SOAR and conduct a foot patrol to AP SWISS or AP FRENCH, From there, the team target OPFOR's SAMs to clear a path for the 160th to provide transport and CAS. Once the SAMs are dealt with, VIKING will clear the compound and sabotage any remaining Fire Wolves assets. Expect a possible Russian airmobile response to our actions, especially from the airfield to the Southeast. Unless engaged, DO NOT FIRE on identified Russian Forces. The Fire Wolves maintain that they are a separate entity from the Russian Federation and are considered valid targets as they have engaged allied PER forces
