--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
A Norwegian special forces operation has confirmed that Russian forces are behind the recent PMC attacks in Norway. Intelligence gathered during the operation indicates that an attack is imminent. However, the special forces were unable to extract covertly, making it likely that the Russians are aware their plans have been exposed and have therefore accelerated their timeline. LION Squad is to move further inland to a more defensible location alongside Panther Platoon, which is advancing from the south in anticipation of the attack. Before doing so, they are to plant mines in an effort to slow the Russian landings.
