--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
Following the recent prevalence of Molatian-backed recruitment/ propaganda centres, King platoon has been dispatched to the capital of Afrene to establish presence and remove any paramilitary assets and agents. Yankee will act in tandem with King platoon to assist RACS forces operating in the Afrene mainland. You will conduct a patrol through several smaller settlements along the South of Afrene, clearing any hazards to the military or civilian presence in the area. The enemy has been known to use tactics which disregard the usual conventions of war, so adaptability will be key.

Friendly Forces
1x Marine Heavy Rifle Squad supported by 2x MRAP: M1230 Up-armoured + Gunner Protection Kit

Supporting Assets
King platoon conducting their presence operation through Kinsella and Numbo. Afrene military (RACS) operating from their own bases throughout Afrene.

Enemy Forces
Molatian state-backed paramilitaries attempting to subvert the Afrene populace against their government. Expected recruitment/propaganda centres to have been set up recently in towns all across Afrene.

Mission

Tasking
Your primary role in this taskforce-wide initiative is to assist in dismantling of paramilitary propaganda centres and arms caches. They have been smuggled into Afrene across the weakly defended border and are being distributed to counter-Afrene/NATO elements within the civilian populace. The paramilitary forces have been utilising guerrilla tactics against our efforts thus far; expect typical asymmetric warfare tactics including makeshift explosives. Local Aerospace and biomedical research corporation 'Astra' was found to be operating a black site in the Suidorra Region, testing illegal experimental chemicals on kidnapped civilians. Any chance at information to further our understanding of their plans with the chemicals should be investigated as a matter of priority. Primary Tasking -Search and neutralize paramilitary elements in small settlements along the route South from Kinsella -Follow up on Astra chemical research in Afrene Secondary Tasking -Locate intel on paramilitary movements and plans -Assist civilians with humanitarian issues where possible

End-state
Settlements swept and paramilitary presence neutralized. RTB-> FOB Lion.

Execution

Commander's Intent
The intent for this mission is to conduct a successful patrol in South Afrene, by doing so we hope to deter any further activity/involvement in the region by paramilitary forces.

Tasks and Sequencing
Yankees tasking for this mission is relatively simple. YANKEE Yankee will move within Victor along the designated route seen in the image below. TRIDENT have tasked YANKEE with investigating local towns and villages along the route. YANKEE will dismount just before each town and conduct a patrol through it. By doing this we hope to deter any Paramilitary forces, we also hope to find some of the recruitment centres that they are trying to use to draw innocent civilians into their fight. We will also need to be on the lookout for any potential weapons caches, along with any intelligence we can find within the towns. Every piece will help us discover more about the situation on the ground.
