OPERATIONS ORDER
Modern Warfare Theatre (2015-Present), Operation Grapeshot Part 1

--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
US Forces have been called to help the destabilized government of Tanoa. The Vice-President having met with US officials after the assassination of the Tanoan President has established a mutual aid agreement between the US and the Republic of Tanoa. The archipelago has recently been seized by Sahrani forces following the assassination of president by terrorist groups. Sahrani justifies their occupation as an agreement with Tanoan Senate that deposed the current Vice-President. The US has condemned the Sahrani government by calling the occupation of Tanoa an invasion and discrediting the Senate's decision as one made under duress.

Friendly Forces
USMC Mechanized Company Mechanized Infantry Platoon with 3 * AAVP7 Force Recon Section with 2 * LAV-25 Logistics Section in general support of the combat elements

Supporting Assets
US Navy Ships in escort of the MEU, conducting air operations to defend the fleet against potential attacks. No other assets will be in support, this is a precise strike without intent of a invasion of the Archipelago.

Enemy Forces
Army of Sahrani, equipped with mostly western equipment. A Tank Company and it's supporting elements are currently stationed and on exercise on the island. Mechanised and Motorised elements are also expected to be on the island, taking part in similar exercises or garrison efforts.

Mission

Tasking
We have identified the Sahrani forces have deployed most of their tank forces onto the island for a training exercise. The main objective of this mission is to neutralize the Sahrani Tank Company, this can be done by destroying the tanks or by taking over the infrastructure needed to move them off the island.

End-state
Our objective is to secure the North West Island and it's facilities, practically cutting off the Sahrani from being able to use their best asset and showcasing the efficiency of US forces. If successful we will have the ability to send the Sahrani forces an ultimatum to cease their occupation of Tanoa. Destruction of key infrastructure (bridges, airfield,ports) is to be avoided.

Execution

Commander's Intent
The intent is to land on the island using LCU to surprise the enemy tank company training on this island. And secure the Tuvanaka Airbase.
