OPERATIONS ORDER
Operation Deadlock (2022), Quid Pro Quo

--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
In an effort to negotiate the information regarding the location or even potential release of 2 IDAP workers that have been kidnapped outside of Jodido, UNITAF is tasked with meeting a local guerilla group that has information regarding their location, however, they will not give it up without a favor in return. It's high time we meet them face to face and see just who we are dealing with here.

Friendly Forces
The unit assigned to this tasking is a squad reinforced with up-armored HUMVEEs that are packing some serious firepower. Attached to them will be an interpreter for ease of communication with various locals that may not know or want to speak to us in English.

Supporting Assets
You can expect to see a lot of movement in the area, especially as we will be moving through UN and government controlled areas before crossing over into the "no man's land" that is not claimed by any group in the conflict.

Enemy Forces
That is not to say there will be no one there, as reports and intel indicate that all groups are looking to make moves on the central areas of the island in an effort to control the vital motorways and riverways that can move people and cargo along them. Caution is to be advised for guerilla and cartel personnel in the area, however you are not to engage any of them without being engaged yourself, due to civilian population being in the area, as well as there being a "de facto" cease fire in the contested regions.

Mission

Tasking
Once you have met with the guerilla group that has summoned us for parley, you are to consolidate your tasking, wager your options and proceed forward upon the FLs discretion.

End-state
The mission can be considered a success when we have either gathered enough information regarding the whereabouts of the 2 missing IDAP personnel without a shadow of a doubt or when we have recovered them and moved them to safety in person.

Execution

Commander's Intent
We are to proceed on our route and meet with a Guerilla Group to parley. We will act upon the intelligence we acquire to complete our tasking.

Tasks and Sequencing
We will depart from FOB Eddie and move along our predetermined route through several checkpoints towards the location where the Guerilla Group is posted. We will be moving in up-armored HMMWVs. Each Alpha team will have their own vehicle they will be responsible for, therefore it is imperative that at least one member remains with the vehicle at all times to ensure its safeguarding and utilization of weapon systems. Teams are to continue along the route via FL's discretion. Should we need to stop, we will set up an ARD around the vehicle dismount point whilst teams maneuver to deal with any threats or points of interest. Once we have met with the Guerilla Group, Alpha Actual Element will move to speak with their leader whilst all other Alpha elements hold security and put on their best smiles. From there, we will act upon any intelligence we receive from the Guerilla Commander.

Administration/Logistics

Resupply
Additional ammunition, explosives and other supplies to be carried within Alpha Victors. Ensure their safeguarding, no touchy feely by local residents. If at all possible, we may bring water and food with us to bolster relations.

Medical
Medical Support will be conducted in the Field (PAK in Field). CCP's at Medic's Discretion.

Rules of Engagement
Weapons Tight, there will be non-combatants in the AO. Do not fire until fired upon. Any CPERS are to be Secured and Safeguarded before being handed off to Alpha 1. If unable to maintain the facilities to take prisoners, they will either be left in a secure area or offloaded to another group.
