OPERATIONS ORDER
Operation Silent Dawn (2025), Voices in the Dark

--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
In the three months since the establishment of Vehicle Checkpoint Houston, the ChDKZ insurgency has greatly escalated. Chernarus has formally designated it a terrorist organization and South Zagoria has declared a state of emergency. Simultaneously, CSAT border incidents have increased and the CDF has taken over the majority of COIN operations, allowing TF Keith to focus on CSAT Deterrence. However, CDF intelligence has orchestrated a plan to track ChDKZ couriers to one of their hidden bases and requests USMC Raiders to execute the final stage of the operation in order to cripple their local infrastructure and hopefully uncover more clues to tie them to their funding sources. --- *** Locked slots require Contact DLC as they will use the Spectrum Analyzer for UAV jamming or radio tracking *** --- Expected Level of Combat : ☆☆☆ Expected Level of RP: ☆ Expected Difficulty: ☆☆ Three-star rating: ☆ Little to none expected ☆☆ Decent amount expected ☆☆☆ Heavy emphasis / main focus of Operation

Friendly Forces
1x USMC Raider Squad w/ 2x M1165A1 GMV 1x USMC Recon Sniper Team w/ 1x MRZR 4

Supporting Assets
- CDF forces are present throughout the AO but will not be aware of operation to preserve OPSEC. - TF Keith is available for support if necessary. CAS is on Alert 15, estimated time on station is 20 minutes after request. Reinforcements will take at least 30 minutes to arrive. Naval artillery support contingent on likelihood of collateral damage.

Enemy Forces
ChDKZ insurgents have been known to predominantly use small arms guerrilla tactics, employing predominantly Soviet-era weaponry and light vehicles though modern equipment has been sparingly employed as well. FPV UAV and IED usage has been reported in the region.

Mission

Tasking
NIGHTHAWK will employ spectrum analysis to track target vehicle's radio beacon and intercept any enemy comms if present. Once target location confirmed,RAVEN will secure the compound and perform SSE while NIGHTHAWK provides overwatch and continues SIGINT. Once SSE concludes, RAVEN will demolish any strategic objectives within the site.

End-state
Regardless of success or failure of any objective, ALL CALLSIGNS will exfil to nearest friendly position if possible or secure LZ for helicopter exfil.

Execution

Commander's Intent
Locate and destroy the hidden base to reduce OPFOR's drone capabilities. Gather any additional intel found on target or the surrounding area.

Tasks and Sequencing
PHASE 0 NIGHTHAWK 2 will set off ahead of the RAVEN 1 and be dropped at DZ Nevada to track the convoys location in the marked area in order to locate the hidden base. PHASE 1 RAVEN 1 will set off from Joint Base Kieth via helicopter and be dropped at LZ Colorado where M1165A1 GMV's are waiting for the squad to use as transport to the location of the hidden base. PHASE 2 Assault the hidden base, plan given in OP. PHASE 3 Move to exfil at LZ colorado with a secondary LZ at LZ Wyoming
