OPERATIONS ORDER
Operation Silent Dawn (2025), Shoot and Scoot

--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
Following the invasion of Chernarus by CSAT forces in Beketov, pockets of fighting have erupted along the eastern coast of Chernarus, with increased CHDKZ activity further inland. HAMMER 1-3, a USMC forward-deployed HIMARS unit in the north, is tasked with conducting strikes against enemy forces while conducting a fighting withdrawal to the south. Their route is expected to be contested, and previously established ammunition stashes may be compromised. Therefore, BUNKER 1, an infantry section mounted in dedicated cavalry assets (M1232 M2), will escort the unit and clear the route.

Five-Star Rating System

Combat Intensity: ☆☆☆ Roleplay Emphasis: ☆ Difficulty: ☆☆☆

BUNKER 1 and HAMMER 1-3 will start independtly of each other

Friendly Forces
2x HIMAS mobile launch systems 1x infantry section driven in M1232 M2 with portable AA BUNKER 1 and HAMMER 1-3 will start independtly of each other

Supporting Assets
Friendly forces are occupied in the south repelling the attack and reorganising limited support if any available

Enemy Forces
Airborne infantry in transport helicopters with a variety of airlifted APCs. The invasion is in its infancy so little knowledge of further equipment. Armed militia members are significantly active in the region and have light motions and technicals.

Mission

Tasking
1. BUNKER 1 is to link up with HAMMER 1-3 and escort to Firing points. 2. Conduct 3 fire missions supporting friendly assets. Information for this will come via CROSSROADS TO THE FO 3. Conduct all fire missions and extract to the EXFIL point.

End-state
All elements extracted and fire missions complete.

Execution

Commander's Intent
The objective is to extract the HIMARS equipment and expending the ammunition staged in the area. If unable to use the ammunition store, we are to prepare it for destruction by explosive or fire mission.

Tasks and Sequencing
The element will be split in two parts, with BUNKER as the forward fighting element, and HAMMER as the rear element to provide fire support moving up to the location once secured and no fire support is requested. Due to minimum range of the HIMARS, distance within the two parts can extend to more than a kilometer. PHASE 0 ALL CALLSIGNS are to ensure full capability and prepare any staged supplies. PHASE 1 BUNKER 1 will be moving towards HAMMER 1-3 position to ensure route is clear for their movement South. HAMMER 1-3 is to prepare staged fire mission according to BUNKER FO PHASE 2 Once regrouped ALL CALLSIGNS are to start movement along green route towards Stored ammunition locations. Standard movement will have BUNKER 1-2 leading with HAMMER 1-3 following with a distance of 200-400m. Action on contact is to dismount and assault. ON REACHING AN AMMUNITION STORAGE BUNKER 1 is to clear the area and establish security, with HAMMER 1-3 moving into position once cleared. After reload is complete, movement will restart, with the destination being one of the firing positions along the route. ON REACHING A FIRING POSITION BUNKER 1 is to clear the area and establish security, with HAMMER 1-3 moving into position and preparing their fire mission once cleared. BUNKER 1 is to start preparing to head to the next location as soon as HAMMER 1-3 is setting up, with the destination being another firing position or towards stored ammunition depending on ammunition left after the fire mission. PHASE 3 On reaching the 4th ammunition storage, ALL CALLSIGNS will be forming a close convoy towards the EXTRACT location, with less than 50m spacing between vehicles. Action on contact will be to push through, stopping out of the kill zone area to reform convoy or prepare for recovery. On reaching the EXTRACT location in Elektrozavodsk, ALL CALLSIGNS are to assist in defence of the position, coordinating with other elements and only boarding for exfil when directed by CROSSROAD H .

Administration/Logistics

Resupply
BUNKER 1-2 is to carry supplies to support BUNKER elements for the operation. Additional infantry and vehicle supplies may also be found near the staged ammunition locations. Staged ammunition locations can only provide one full reload of each HIMARS.

Medical
- Medical support will be conducted in field (PAK in Field) - No external medical support is available outside of the planned EXTRACT location in Elektrozavodsk.

Rules of Engagement
We do not posses capabilities to manage CPERS, civilians or detainees are to be left on site in a safe location.

Fire Support Plan
HIMARS support provided by HAMMER 1-3 and authorised via BUNKER 1, in accordance with SOP. Due to recent EMP attack and continued jamming, HIMARS will require manual calculations to fire. Being a high priority target, HAMMER 1-3 will have to reposition after each fire mission unless URGENT.

Close Air Support
In accordance with SOP
