OPERATION BLOODY BAYONET

BRIEFING ENCLOSED

Situation:

General Situation:

NATO Forces are conducting enforcement operations to degrade CSAT forces on the island of Altis.

Intel shows there is a heavily protected CSAT defensive front (grid reference 2095 0776) with a radius of roughly 2 klicks and NATO has ask the Task Force Dagger to intervene and cripple this front and all CSAT in the area. Further intel shows that there are numerous triple A emplacements throughout the sector, it is advised that these are eliminated before opening the AO to any air assets, triple A boundary is marked on grid line (11). It is presumed safe North of this line and presumed a danger zone for any air assets South of this line.

Friendly Situation:

Higher: NATO Forces are main based out country with Task Force Dagger based at Gravia Airbase.

Adjacent: There are no adjacent friendly forces.

Supporting: Task Force Dagger has only its organic assets for this mission.

Enemy Situation:

Size: There is roughly a ~Battalion sized element of CSAT forces operating in the objective area. The enemy are situated with heavy support including: MBTs, APCs, Attack Rotary, and Light Motorized Vehicles; other means of support are unknown at this time.

Activity: CSAT forces are massing forces in this sector for an inevitable counter-attack on our forces after the last operation. These forces seem to be arriving via the eastern seaboard south of vicinity Grid (222085).

Location: Panagia is vicinity Grid (205088). Feres is vicinity Grid (216075). Selakano is vicinity Grid (208067). Small Airfield is vicinity Grid (210073).

Equipment: CSAT Soldiers are well trained and equipped with standard rifles, AT/AA, and other equipments. They are armed to the teeth in ammunition and are extremely rested, they are not to be taken lightly.

Mission:

Task Force Dagger conducts a Combined Arms Operation to retake the three towns and the small airfield from CSAT forces.

Concept of Operations:

Scheme of Maneuver: A Special Operations force will be inserted to disrupt the enemy by any means necessary while searching for triple A emplacements while the main ground element will also be clearing adjacent areas before moving in on the main objectives. Once the triple A is destroyed, air assets can be called in for support as the main assault begins on the defensive stronghold.

Tasks:

Infantry:

You are part of the main effort. You are to form Task Force Dagger and conduct an assault on the main objective area after crippling any triple A in the area. Coordinate with armored, artillery, and air assets for transport, artillery, and heavy tank direct fires in support of your operation.

You are a supporting effort. You are to join TF Dagger and provide them with transport and direct fire support using the MBT Slammer UP or the IFV Marshall.

Special Forces:

Once all triple A has been taken out you are to gain an overwatch on the main assualt area and provide FO and JTAC communications with air and artillery assets.

Air:

You are a supporting effort. Once the area is cleared of triple A positions, provide Direct Support Fixed Wing and Rotary Wing CAS to Task Force Dagger in the main assualt.
