Subject: FTX Cold Winds Update

 

All Commands and Attachments are hereby notified that wargame FTX Cold Winds will continue as planned. The commencement ceremony will be in Stockholm on April 19th, 2024. Excersizes will begin on April 20th, 2024 at 0000.

 

Reporting for the MSOC portraying the OPFOR component will be on April 16th, 2024 @1930 in the the combined arms staging area. SOAR assets will report in with the Swedish BLUFOR command on April 17th, 2024 @1500 at the combined arms staging area. A full event schedule has been attached. 

 

3d MRB, A-Co and 160th SOAR, 1-BN, have been selected as the reactionary USSOCOM forces available to USEUCOM for the duration of this excersize. The EUCOM threat brief lists the rogue state actor South Livonia as their highest present threat. The latest intelligence estimates place significant escalation at ~34% or unlikely. A full brief will be forwarded from Eurocom in the next few days. Prepare your forces accordingly.

 

A full operational brief for FTX Cold Winds will be provided after report-in. As per previous discussions, expect Swedish command to field their own SOF units for OPFOR as well as their usual contribution to BLUFOR. I have been asked to instruct our OPFOR units to plan on teaching their counterparts as they conduct operations. Further, expect exercise additions from the Swedish 3d Naval Warfare Flotilla and Uppland Fighter Wing.

 

More details to follow.

General Thomas A. Godfrey III
