OPERATIONS ORDER
Operation Hetman (2023), Żubr

--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
The Łuków Airbase is a critical strategic asset, providing a staging ground for ongoing BLUFOR operations in the region. Falcon Platoon is deployed to secure this vital location against an imminent OPFOR counterattack. The broader operational context involves maintaining air superiority and logistical continuity to support the campaign's eastern front. Intelligence indicates the enemy intends to disrupt our operations by seizing this airbase.

Friendly Forces
JW 3797 - 15^th Mechanized Brigade/Platoon B "FALCON" with 1x KTO Rosomak team JW 2399 - 10^th Armored Cavalry Brigade "EAGLE" with 1x M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 CMT "HAWK" Logistical support team "BLACKBIRD"

Supporting Assets
Callsigin: VALIANT Unit: Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (British Armed Forces) Position & Task: Positioned east of RV VENOM, VALIANT is tasked with preventing enemy reinforcements from crossing into the area. They will exert pressure on OPFOR units within Sector E8 to disrupt their operational coherence. Callsign: IRONCLAD Unit: JW 2399 – Platoon, 10th Armored Cavalry Brigade Position & Task: Stationed north of Topolin, IRONCLAD will focus on engaging OPFOR in Sector W9, diverting enemy attention and resources to keep them occupied. Callsigns: RAVEN & SKYFALL Units:

• RAVEN: JW 4857 – Platoon, 1st Podlaska Territorial Defense Brigade.
• SKYFALL: JW 2250 – Platoon, 6th Airborne Brigade.

Position & Task: RAVEN, stationed in Nidek, and SKYFALL, positioned in Kryśnik, will conduct coordinated operations to apply sustained pressure on Sector E8, supporting VALIANT’s efforts in destabilizing OPFOR forces. Callsign: HAMMER Unit: JW 2399 – Element of 10th Armored Cavalry Brigade. Position & Task: Deployed at RV TOXIN in Radacz, HAMMER is a critical operational team ready to reinforce or exploit enemy vulnerabilities as they manifest across the battlefield.

Enemy Forces
COMPOSITION Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, including motor-rifle troops and tank battalions Support by potential irregular elements from the Private Military Company "Borodin Group." CAPABILITIES Combined arms tactics with mobility and firepower. The enemy may leverage armored spearheads and infantry waves to penetrate defensive lines. INTENTIONS Disrupt BLUFOR operations by capturing the Łuków Airbase. Recon units may probe defences before launching a coordinated assault. EXPECTED AXIS OF ADVANCE West, North-West, North, North-East, and East.

Mission

Tasking
Falcon Platoon is tasked with fortifying and defending the Łuków Airbase. Defensive measures include establishing firing positions, emplacing obstacles, and conducting reconnaissance to detect and delay enemy movements.

End-state
Łuków Airbase remains under BLUFOR control, with enemy forces repelled or neutralized. In event of failure, BLUFOR needs to evacuate South of the Biela River.

Execution

Commander's Intent
Purpose: Defeat enemy counterattacks on Łuków Airbase in order to prevent the loss of control of strategic terrain. Key Tasks: - Establish robust defensive positions covering main expected enemy avenues of approach - Maintain flexibility in movement across all troops to address weak points of the defense End State: Enemy counterattacks are repelled and Łuków Airbase remains under friendly control.

Tasks and Sequencing

Concept of Operations

The mission will be completed in two main phases. A third contingency phase is also described below, but this does not imply intent to execute its contents.

1) Preparations

Objective: Establish and fortify defensive positions and prepare for enemy attacks Actions: FALCON 1 - Western sectors * Prepare at assembly area by ensuring all soldiers bring a full combat load * Move to and identify good defensive positions to disrupt and destroy counterattacks from sectors W1 and W2 * If available, mine key avenues of approach and vulnerabilities. The engineer may otherwise hinder or canalise movement by the use of trenches et al. * Provide SITREP once defensive positions are identified and ready FALCON 2 - Eastern sectors * Prepare at assembly area by ensuring all soldiers bring a full combat load * Move to and identify good defensive positions to disrupt and destroy counterattacks from sectors E1 and e2 * If available, mine key avenues of approach and vulnerabilities. The engineer may otherwise hinder or canalise movement by the use of trenches et al. * Provide SITREP once defensive positions are identified and ready FALCON 3 - Northern sectors * Prepare at assembly area by ensuring all soldiers bring a full combat load * Move to and identify good defensive positions to disrupt and destroy counterattacks from sectors N1 and N2 * If available, in coordination with Blackbird, mine key avenues of approach and vulnerabilities. The engineers may otherwise hinder or canalise movement by the use of trenches et al. * Provide SITREP once defensive positions are identified and ready EAGLE * Provide support to the infantry platoon by acting as a quick reaction force * Identify and eliminate enemy force multipliers

2)DEFENCES

Objective: Defend Łuków Airbase from Russian attacks Actions: FALCON * All Falcon callsigns secure and defend their respective sectors * Maintain flexibility in defending their sectors, and are ready to adapt to new threats * Communicate with other callsigns, including Eagle, in case of support requests * Communicate contact levels and ACE reports to Falcon 9 periodically EAGLE * Maintains mobility to support Falcon callsigns as a quick reaction force * Prioritises enemy force multipliers

3) DISENGAGEMENT (CONTINGENCY ONLY)

Objective: Exfiltrate to Radacz without loss of life or material Actions: FALCON * Squads commence successive bounding to RV VENOM, taking care to avoid mined areas * At RV Venom, squads assume defensive positions, seeking to hold the bridge * If the bridge becomes unsustainable, Falcon commences bounds back to Radacz EAGLE * Eagle ensures safe exfil for Falcon by protecting flanks and enable safe movement for infantry * At the bridge, take up defensive positions aimed at key vehicle avenues of approach * If further withdrawal is ordered, take up defensive positions on the fields surrounding Radacz

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. Frontline support is contingent on relative safety for the engineers. Blackbird may, in the preparing stages of the operation, support squads with minelaying and the creation of obstructions.

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.
