OPERATIONS ORDER
Operation Brimstone (2014), Battle for Mayankel

--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
After investigating the situation in Limar it has come to our attention that there is a large force within the town of Mayankel. We believe a counter attack is imminent from the town to try and push our forces out of the Region so we must strike fast with force in hopes that we will put any plans of counter attack from ISIS on hold.

Friendly Forces
1 x Platoon infantry platoon

Supporting Assets
Syrian National Army will be helping with infil and exfil via Mi-8.

Enemy Forces
INTELLIGENCE FROM OUTGOING UNITS CONVEYS; IRREGULAR INFANTRY FORCES MARKSMEN IDF HEAVY VBIEDS NON-STANDARDIZED TACTICAL VEHICLES APC POSSIBLE PRESENCE OF MAIN BATTLE TANKS [WE KNOW THAT 1X WARLORD THAT GOES BY THE NAME OF ASLANBEK AL MUHARIB OPERATES IN THE GENERAL AREA AND 1X HIGH VALUE MARKSMAN IS ACTIVE IN THE AREA BOTH NEED TO BE CAPTURED IF SEEN]

Mission

Tasking
The unit must perform a night assault on Mayankel taking out any assets (Any stationary stolen American vehicles are to be left undamaged as we can take them back to base for use.) We know of two targets of high value in the area. One is a well known Warlord, we cannot guarantee his presence and we do not know what he looks like but he goes by the name of ASLANBEK AL MUHARIB so please look out for any intel on him. We are also aware that a highly skilled marksman which has been attacking our convoys and main force is highly likely to be operating from this town. We believe he uses stolen American equipment and supposedly wears a black turban with sunglasses. Look out for a possible sniper hut with a large amount of gear inside and sweep the building for any intel we can get. HVTS MUST BE CAPTURED IF SIGHTED.

End-state
Once the threat of ISIS has been removed from Mayankel then the unit will be cleared for Endex.

To take Mayankel from ISIS and capture the HVTs alive to gain further intel.
