--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
Following a Russian-aided counterattack on Svetloyarsk port, the US Army Rangers are tasked with launching an Eastern offensive to clear out the final Chernarussian forces, repel the Russian conspirators and claim the region for good. An AC-130U Gunship has been tasked to aid the US Army Rangers in locating an eliminating all remaining resistance.

Friendly Forces
US ARMY RANGER INFANTRY PLATOON, CALLSIGN HITMAN, AUGMENTED WITH: -ENHANCED AT CAPABILITIES -SQUAD-INTEGRATED GPMG SUPPORT

Supporting Assets
THE ESTONIAN ARMED FORCES ARE HOLDING DEFENSIVE POSITIONS ON THE NORTHERN FRONT IN RESPONSE TO THE RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE. THEY WILL NOT BE ACCOMPANYING THE US ARMY RANGERS ON THIS OPERATION.

Enemy Forces
THE CHERNARUSSIAN MOVEMENT OF THE RED STAR (CHDKZ) FORCES ARE A STATE-BACKED PARAMILITARY AND AS SUCH, HAVE ACCESS TO A MODERN ARRAY OF RUSSIAN EQUIPMENT. THE DESTRUCTION OF THEIR FINAL AIRSTRIP IN KRASNOSTAV HAS SEEN THE ELIMINATION OF ALL REMAINING FIXED WING AIR ASSETS AND THE CAPTURE OF THEIR HELIPORT IN SEVEROGRAD HAS LIMITED USE OF THEIR ROTARY ASSETS. AS THE FRONT LINE COLLAPSES ON THE CHDKZ, WE HAVE SEEN A DEGREDATION OF EQUIPMENT AVAILABILITY AND EMPLOYED TACTICS. THE REMAINING PORT TOWNS ARE KNOWN TO BE WELL FORTIFIED AS A PRODUCT OF OPFOR OCCUPATION TIME.

THIS ROUTE WILL TAKE US THROUGH THE TOWN OF DUBROVKA WHICH HAS APPEARED CLEAR OF ENEMY PRESENCE DURING RECON PATROLS, HOWEVER INTELLIGENCE PROVIDED BY CIVILIAN SOURCES SUGGESTS SOME MINOR INFREQUENT CHEDAKI ACTIVITY MAY STILL BE PRESENT WITHIN THE AREA.
