Operation Sapphire (2006), Stormdrain

--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
Due to Intel collected in the last few SF deployments, we now have a firm grasp on the Resistance presence in one of the bigger cities of the region, Ubomo. We are ordered to re-capture leaving us with more foothold on the Northern side of the region, if successful. The Enemy is expected to fight Tooth and Nail to keep this major city, so we expect heavy resistance outside Ubomo, due to this, we've deployed A-10 tank killers, and additional anti-vehicle support at the platoon level. We've also organised for high-altitude UAV for command reconnaissance and special forces teams will be conducting raids to weaken the enemy footing.

Friendly Forces
1x Infantry Platoon 1x Special Forces Section 2x A-10C 1x HQ Element 1x Support Element

Enemy Forces
Resistance held military installations and built up areas, including those with civilian presence. Chance of lightly armoured vehicles and possible chance of armoured or heavy armoured vehicles or emplacements. When overwhelmed, the enemy is expected to reposition to the southern peninsula, via the land bridge.

Mission

Tasking
Force the resistance to reposition to the southern peninsula by taking their Outpost (Obj Rho) and Training Facility (Obj Phi/Lambda) and occupying the border town of Uborno. - MAIN OBJECTIVE - Various strategic positions in Oborno to be captured and held. - SPECIAL OBJECTIVES - Exfil HVT, secure intel and destroy gun boats - OPTIONAL OBJECTIVES - Capture resistance port. - OBJ RHO - Resistance Combat Outpost (Reinforced perimiter) - OBJ PHI - Resistance CQB training area - OBJ LAMBDA - Resistance outdoor training area

End-state
Hold Uborno and the Uborno Landbridge.

Execution

Commander's Intent
The purpose of this mission is to push the remaining western resistance further south by assaulting two of their key military positions, aiding any civilians encountered on route. To prepare for future operations, a special forces element will infiltrate the southern peninsula and weaken key positions and garnish intelligence. Then our forces will regroup on the Ubomoland bridge, having pushed all resistance from the area of operations.

Tasks and Sequencing
PHASE 0 OUTLAW 1st Platoon, callsign OUTLAW will set off from our temporary camp outside Lantana. The transport plan calls for OUTLAW to transit the orange route in armoured trucks (of OUTLAW 3) to the insert position (Dismount / OP ROMEO). OUTLAW 3, to provide overwatch and suppression as required throughout all following phases, as directed by the Platoon Commander. PHANTOM 2nd Platoon, callsign PHANTOM will set off from Camp Haven, using the cover of the low-lying fog they will infil via the beachhead outside Bonga. VIKING / GROUNDHOG Report to the Company Commander on 46.0mhz. PHASE 1 OUTLAW The Platoon Commander may, via the Forward Air Controller order an airstrike at this point on OBJ RHO, via GROUNDHOG at their discretion. OUTLAW 1 provides base of fire, suppressing enemy position (OBJ RHO) while OUTLAW 2 assaults. OUTLAW 2 firms the position while OUTLAW 1 counter assaults identified roadblock whilst OUTLAW 2 covers. Following initial engagement, OUTLAW 1 and OUTLAW 2 proceed to Kinbert to secure the village and evacuate any local population, checking supplies as required. VIKING Setup temporary logistics position and CCP from Kinbert or OB RHO. PHANTOM Infiltrate city of Bonga, extract resistance defector alive, secure intel outside of the city and destroy gun boats moored in Bonga's north easterly port. Transfer HVT to Camp Haven. PHASE 2 OUTLAW OUTLAW 1 and OUTLAW 2 position to planned assault positions (OUTLAW 2 east) and (OUTLAW 1 north) depending on alert status of the camp and recon reports. OUTLAW 1 secures OBJ PHI and OUTLAW 2 secures OBJ LAMBDA. OUTLAW 3 on overwatch.
