WARNO OPERATION SUNDOWN 06-25 MSOT 8313 HADES

[LTC Brueske]

WARNING ORDER
MSOT 8313 Hades

 

SITUATION: With the collapse of the Venezuelan loyalist forces and the consolidation of the SUG forces across the North of the country, most direct engagements have ended with conventional forces. However, there are still pockets of loyalist resistance, and they appear to be attempting to establish an insurgency. SUG forces have been recognized as the legitimate government, but since they are overstretched attempting to solidify their new position, they have requested aid. Washington has agreed to help and is deploying us as advisors and support personnel to bolster the new Venezuelan forces. Use of identifiable markers for US personnel are now required and given our new role, we are not authorized to engage unless fired upon, unless explicitly instructed otherwise.

 

ENEMY: The main OPFOR in this AO are the remnants of Loyalist units that were defeated conventionally and are now attempting to fight an insurgency. Force size, equipment, and exact tactics are unknown at this time. Expect normal insurgent actions. 

 

FRIENDLY:

1x Platoon SUG Government Infantry Forces + 1x BTR-80A for fire support. Friendly Infantry plans to approach from the west to enter the town after the enemy is decisively engaged. BTR-80 and 1x additional weapons squad can be routed to support fire from the South across the river if desired.
