--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
As part of the second wave of the island assault, OUTLAW has been tasked with securing and holding the newly established beachhead on Napf Island, ensuring no enemy forces break through the frontline. Our mission is to maintain a fluid defense, holding the line until relief forces arrive, with a focus on containing enemy mechanised and infantry forces in the area. We have UH-60 airframes directly supporting our position, and additional fire support and logistical aid are available. Our priority is to reinforce the existing line rather than a major advance, with precise CAS and logistical support to maintain forward positions effectively.

Airframes: 2xMH-60S Knighthawk 1xUH-60M MEDEVAC

Friendly Forces
OUTLAW Air Assault Platoon with assigned 2xMH-60S Knighthawk Supported by WHIPLASH 5-3 Army MERT and KNIGHT Logistical Team

Supporting Assets
TRIDENT 3 Motorised Platoon is retreating from the current frontline. Other TRIDENT are operating within the flanks of the AO to complete their objectives. SHIELD Air Defence section is deployed at Rorenpass to provide close air defense.

Enemy Forces
The enemy is expected to mainly use Light or Mechanised Infantry. Supported by some Armoured assets. Thanks to the swift assault from TRIDENT 3 Armoured assets are still mustering in the Northern bases, we expect them to consolidate before they move to the frontline.

Mission

Tasking
OUTLAW Platoon is tasked with holding the current ground, defeating enemy counter attacks and taking new positions as opportunities arise. - PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Hold Sector E, do not give ground to enemy forces. - SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: Expand held ground to further sectors. - SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: Locate key intelligence on enemy positions or movement, from liberated enemy camps or positions.

End-state
Mission is complete once the enemy has exhausted their resources or TRIDENT 3 finishes their reorganisation and takes over frontline cover. Allowing enemies to push past our defences and destroy SHIELD section will be considered a mission failure.

Execution

Commander's Intent
The purpose of this mission is to relieve TRIDENT callsigns from the frontline in SECTOR-E, Rorighof Valley while they rest up and re-arm and hold onto gained ground until more forces arrive. Entering to SECTOR-E and utilising the valley and forest terrain to our advantage, hold back counter attacks and where possible, gain further advances. I would like to particularly focus on exploiting the gap in enemy air coverage, to allow our UH-60 airframes to burn as much of the enemy mechanised forces as possible, to make further operations easier. Finally, any and all intelligence that can be gained must be given top priority. For this reason, enemy camps or garrisons, including staging positions, must not be dealt with in any way which could destroy possible intelligence gathering.

Tasks and Sequencing
ALL OUTLAWS be ready to depart by airlift post briefing. Tasking: SEC-E ALL OUTLAWS infil to pre-scouted observation points (OPs). On arrival, all squads dig in, setup observation sectors and prepare for counter attack. - OUTLAW 1 insert by WHIPLASH 5-1 to LZ CREST in SEC-E, FIRM UP at OP-1A focus W through N and await further orders. - OUTLAW 2 insert by WHIPLASH 5-2 to LZ BASIN in SEC-E, FIRM UP at OP-2A focus W through NE and await further orders. - OUTLAW 3 insert by WHIPLASH 5-3 to LZ PEAK in SEC-E, FIRM UP at OP-3A focus W through N and await further orders. ALL WHIPLASH - fly by NAPE MSR Pathway. KNIGHT 4-2 - receive staging instructions from WARLOCK - OUTLAW 8 - on infil, commence reconnaissance via WHIPLASH 5-1/WHIPLASH 5-2 Actions on contact: SEC-E - ALL OUTLAWS: Commence RTC battle drills - OUTLAW 8: Coordinate air support - ALL WHIPLASH: Orders of the Forward Air Controller - KNIGHT 4-2: Orders of the Platoon Commander Actions on Post-Contact: SEC-E - ALL OUTLAWS: Send SITREP, ACEREP, prepare for Advance, check for enemy intel - KNIGHT: Be prepared for LOGPAK requests and insertion. - WHIPLASH 5-3: Be prepared for MEDEVAC/routine procedure. Tasking: Sectors F, G, J, I Further advancement north up the valley into these sectors where possible will be ordered should the opportunity arise. OUTLAW 1: Take the westernmost flank at all times, western flank is your onward tasking, SEC-F, SEC-J, stray no further than 750m west of road without authorisation. OUTLAW 2: Take the inner most valley floor route at all times, remain slightly left of the the road in a elevated position, the road and the direct ahead sector is your responsibility, remain within 300m of the road in any case. OUTLAW 3: Take the easternmost flank at all times, eastern flank is your onward tasking, SEC-G, SEC-I stray no further than 750m east of road without authorisation. Tasking: SECTORS M, N onwards Should enemy resistance be less than expected, we may break through SEC-M/N to the town of Liestal, should this happen, further orders will be issued prior to execution. Prior to this, ALL CALLSIGNS should firm up in previous sectors and await further orders. Intelligence Gathering Per secondary objective, do not use explosives or heavy firepower on enemy positions, specifically camps or rally points until they have been searched for intelligence. Gathering intelligence is a key part of our early operations during this invasion. ALL CALLSIGNS - check for enemy intel routinely

Administration/Logistics

Resupply
ALL CALLSIGNS cross the LD fully loaded according to SOP. These supplies will come from the staging area. This basic load is expected to sustain the team throughout SEC-E, Routine resupply and LOGPAKs will be coordinated through OUTLAW 9 and delivered by AIR/GROUND by KNIGHT 4-2.

Medical
- Medical support will be conducted using supporting elements (PAK off Field) - The primary means of MEDEVAC is by AIR conducted by WHIPLASH 5-3 and requested via OUTLAW 8/9.

Rules of Engagement
CPERS should be turned over to WHIPLASH 5-3 for evacuation to the rear.

Fire Support Plan
In accordance with SOP

Close Air Support
CAS provided by WHIPLASH 5-1 and WHIPLASH 5-2 and authorised via the Forward Air Controller, OUTLAW 8, in accordance with SOP. The primary purpose of CAS is to target enemy light, medium and heavily armoured vehicles.

Considerations
The chain of command will be OUTLAW 9, OUTLAW 1, OUTLAW 2, OUTLAW 3. Platoon Headquarters will be located centrally behind OUTLAW 2 during normal movement and will utilise a light HMMMW for rapid movement as required. Signal - Red: enemy position - Orange: friendly vehicle requiring support - Purple: friendly MASCAS/MEDEVAC - Blue: friendly position - Green: LOGPAC - White: concealment
