Mission

Tasking
The unit is tasked with assaulting and securing the village of Gliniska and Łuków Airbase. They must disrupt enemy operations, prevent reinforcements, and establish defensive positions to prepare for potential counterattacks. Their mission includes conducting coordinated attacks, minimizing collateral damage, and ensuring the airbase and village are fully under friendly control.

End-state
The desired end-state is for friendly forces to have full control of both Łuków Airbase and the village of Gliniska, with enemy forces in the area either neutralized or forced to withdraw. Defensive positions should be established to prepare for potential counterattacks, securing the area for future operations. In the event of mission failure, the friendly forces should regroup, withdraw to a defensible position, and prevent further enemy advancement while maintaining enough strength to defend key positions and avoid total loss of territory.

Execution

Commander's Intent
Purpose: To seize control of Łuków Airbase and Gliniska to further disrupt enemy operations and enable the full liberation of Polish land. Key Tasks: - Conduct a coordinated and rapid attack on the airfield and its defences to disrupt and prevent enemy reinforcement and counterattack. - Maintain momentum to transition swiftly from capturing the airfield to assaulting and securing the nearby town. - Minimize collateral damage to preserve infrastructure and maintain local support. - Establish defensive positions phasing north to prepare for potential counterattacks. End State: Łuków Airbase and Gliniska are both securely under friendly control and enemy forces in the area are neutralized or have withdrawn.

Tasks and Sequencing

Concept of Operations

The mission will be completed in three phases:

1) Preparations

Objective: Depart from Assembly Area SOCRATES and reach RP UNIFORM Time: Depart at latest at STARTEX+20 to make good use of early dawn Route: STARTING POINT ROMEO > CHK SIERRA > CHK TANGO > RP UNIFORM Formation: Column (F1 - F9 - F2) Actions: FALCON * Prepare by ensuring all soldiers bring a full combat load * Mount up and follow the route to CHK TANGO * Dismount at TANGO, and move cautiously across the bridge * Maintain security at all times and update leaders on suspicious and enemy movements EAGLE * Observe the battlefield from EAGLE BP GOLF * Maintain Weapons ORANGE, only attack direct threats to themselves or FALCON * Update FALCON 9 on any relevant intelligence

2) PHASE PLATO

Objective: Seize and secure Objectives Air and Earth before enemy forces can reinforce or evacuate assets Actions: FALCON 1 * Bound to FALCON WP VICTOR, then wait until FALCON 2 passes enroute to WP WHISKEY * Once FALCON 2 passes, investigate potential battle positions north of WP VICTOR, then conducts alternate bounds with Falcon 2 along waypoints, to reach WP Zulu * Upon reaching WP Zulu, supports FALCON 2 as they assault the bunker line * Once appropriate, assaults and clears OBJECTIVE AIR * Supports Falcon 2 upon request * Once objectives are secure, report ACE up the chain FALCON 2 * Clear the compounds immediately surrounding RP UNIFORM, then moves to WP WHISKEY * Conducts alternative bounds with FALCON 1 along waypoints, to reach WP Zulu * From WP Zulu, assaults the bunker lines on the south side of Łuków Airbase * Once the bunker lines are secure, secures OBEJCTIVE EARTH * Supports Falcon 1 upon request * Once objectives are secure, report ACE up the chain EAGLE * Suppresses known and suspected enemy battle positions in coordination with Falcon * Acknowledges and acts upon shift fire requests from Falcon * If and when fire support from EAGLE BP GOLF is no longer appropriate, moves up and joins FALCON at their approximate location * Supports Falcon by prioritising the neutralisation of armoured force multipliers * Provide general fire support to the platoon Notes: Intel suggests at least nine helicopters, 2 jets and 1 transport plane at Łuków Airbase. This is complemented with a number of vehicles. The bunker line consists of at least 20 bunkers, all of which are southeast-facing.

3) PHASE HIPPOCRATES

Objective: Seize and secure OBJECTIVES FIRE AND WATER Actions: FALCON * Assaults the 200-series and 400-series from the direction of Łuków Airbase * After the 200- and 400-series are secured, the platoon assaults and seizes Objective FIRE * After Objective Fire, secures the remaining sectors up until Objective WATER * Once objectives are secure, assume security perimeter north side of town (assumed QRF direction) and await relief and RTB EAGLE * Supports Falcon by prioritising the neutralisation of armoured force multipliers * Provide general fire support to the platoon Notes: Intel suggests the presence of at least 24 MBTs, of which 18 are located at OBJECTIVE FIRE. The bunker line along Biela River are located on the southeastern side of sectors 506 and 603, and are southeast-facing. There are additionally hardened battle positions in the fields Southwest of Gliniska, all of which are southwest-facing.

Administration/Logistics

Resupply
Logistical support will be provided by Blackbird. Do note that their capacity will be limited, and will as a priority focus on vehicle support. Logistical requests must therefore be forwarded as early as possible.

Medical
Medical support will be provided by Raven, and Raven will assume leadership of any MCIs. PAKs may only be provided by Raven.

Rules of Engagement
CPERS are to be handed over to Falcon 8, who will coordinate further evacuation.
