Situation

Background Information
Three star rating: ☆little to none expected ☆☆decent amount expected ☆☆☆Heavy emphasis / main focus of Operation Expected Level of Combat : ☆☆ Expected Level of RP: ☆ Expected Difficulty: ☆☆ GM notes: This Operation focuses on Futuristic Warfare with Armed Drones and Eletronic Warfare/Jamming (CROWS EW Mod) Assets: (name -> callsign) Drones: UGV Stomper (Armed) = UAV Operators FW/RW: AV-44X Blackfish (CAS) = GRIFFIN FW/RW: V-44X Blackfish (Utility) = WHISKEY Briefing: Multiple reports of highly sophisticated, autonomous weapons have surfaced during NATO peacekeeping missions near Sefrou-Ramal. While the destination is as yet unknown, intelligence uncovered a lead to their origin. Heavy industries firm SenTech Inc. has been implicated through obfuscated patents and underreported shipping manifests of parts to moonlight as a weapons manufacturer. SenTech CEO James Blackwood has openly denied allegations. His residence in Paraiso, however, following the investigation is barricaded and patrolled by an unidentified private military company. SenTech research facilities in Paraiso have closed doors to any private or military investigators. Latest reconnaissance shows further amassing of armed troops and materiel at the Paraiso airfield, the city itself acting as a buffer between it and nearby SenTech facilities. The death of NATO troops by these autonomous drones has led to an armed escalation and a raid of SenTech facilities to apprehend Blackwood. Players who have the Contact DLC can equip and use the Spectrum Device with the Jammer Attachment to disable enemy autonomous vehicles, making them unable to move and fire They can do this by searching for it's signal and pressing AND holding LMB. be warned, this method does not work 100%!

Friendly Forces
1x Airmobile Infantry Platoon - Supported by up to 2x UGV Stomper under command of the UAV Operators - Supported by GRIFFIN, Armed Blackfish VTOL -Supported by WHISKEY, Airmobile Logistics, Troop Transport & Observation Pod

Enemy Forces
OPFOR: A PMC employed by local bigshot CEO of Tech Firm called SenTech, megacorporation with specialization in AI Weapons Systems and Autonomous armed Drones. Infantry: Well-trained contractors in and around the Island of Southern Sahrani Heavy Assets: Autonomous versions of the CSAT Vehicles like the T100 Black Eagle, ARMA Otokar, etc. Be Advised: OPFOR has confirmed SAM positions on Matas Airfield providing high-altitude coverage until knocked out.

Mission

Tasking
-Infiltrate and secure a foothold around Paraiso. -Capture the CEO of SenTech, James Blackwood ALIVE --Retrieve functional or semi-functional advanced technologies, Hardware or Software

End-state
CEO Captured, shipped to trial

Execution

Commander's Intent
The purpose of this mission is to destroy SenTech air defences for NATO air supremacy and capture all possible sources of intelligence about autonomous instruments of war.

Tasks and Sequencing
PHASE 0 ALL CALL SIGNS prepare for an air assault at Rahmadi Airbase. 2x V-44X Blackfish are standing by to fly NOE to the insertion point at LZ Alpha. The Blackfish operated by Griffin call sign loads Stomper UGV. The Blackfish operated by Whisky call sign loads all GCE troops. At LZ Alpha, GCE secures the area, then orientates northeast in travelling overwatch. Griffin and Whisky RTB. PHASE 1 SIERRA platoon first secures a suspected armed checkpoint along the road past the airfield. Via Elevation 92, SIERRA establishes an AP to briefly survey the airfield. It is assumed hostile occupied. The S-400 radar must be destroyed as soon as possible to establish close air support from the overhead. NOTE: The radar is the central control post! SAM launchers are not assumed autonomous. Special jamming equipment or UGV fire support can be utilised until demolition charges are placed to expedite GRIFFIN. PHASE 2 Secure the suspected research facility south of the airfield. Recover all intel. PHASE 3 SIERRA platoon establishes at OP S1 and/or OP S2 to survey Paraiso for unmarked occupied zones and valid military targets. Engineers rig a breach point marked on the west-northwest walled edge of the residence compound. Both squads hook in and clear the residence. QRF can be expected from either of the southern roads leading uphill to SenTech HQ. QRF must be decisively engaged and driven off before orientating towards the HQ. PHASE 4 Engineers rig a further breach point on the northern walled edge of Sentech HQ. SIERRA 1 clear the building proper. SIERRA 2 clear the street level of the area and maintain the perimeter. Sierra takes all measures to apprehend CEO Blackwood. His death must be avoided.

Administration/Logistics

Resupply
All GCE teams embark WHISKY Blackfish fully loaded and sustained through all of phase 1. Resupplies following air supremacy available via air drop and designated LRP, as coordinated by SIERRA 8. LRP-A: Airfield main compound, near terminal and tower. LRP-B: CEO James Blackwood residence compound WHISKEY 4 additional tasking: recovery of all autonomous systems when safe and secured to be airlifted to Rahmadi Airbase.

Medical
CMT is conducting operations on the ground using UGV.

Rules of Engagement
CEO James Blackwood must not be engaged with lethal force, unless given due cause. SenTech civilian personnel might be in and around the facilities. HE use must be reduced in Paraiso to avoid civilian collaterals.

Fire Support Plan

Close Air Support
V-44X Blackfish Gunship call sign GRIFFIN available in the overhead after disabling SAM cover in Phase 1. Communications and requests through SIERRA 7.
