Operation Valiant Guardian (2020), Sokolova Oluja

--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
Sokolovi are continuing south with the aim of creating a "buffer" zone between Velke Hydčice and Camp Refošk. The enemy is well entrenched, but with the Special Forces raiding the quarry the night before, our guns can now fire without a worry for a counter battery. With the 72nd pushing westwards at the same time, and with the presence of a friendly SAM battery inside Camp Refošk, we expect the enemy will not push us with heavy equipment such as tanks or air assets.
