Operation Steel Serpent
Mission 2: Rescue

Concept of Operation:

BLUEFOR Mission: Attack and Rescue
REDFOR Mission: Prepared Defense

REDFOR will deploy at TANGO, CUCV will be located a little ways down at DELTA

BLUEFOR will deploy at KILO

REDFOR to set up hasty defense along the border

BLUEFOR proceeds up to TANGO either by NOVEMBER, the ROAD to the RR tracks, or cutting over from FOXTROT

BLUEFOR will locate the CUCV and secure it

BLUEFOR will be instructed to drive CUCV back down to the border via radio from HQ (Call sign JULIET-FOUR-ONE)

REDFOR will attempt to block BLUEFOR until ordered to extract by HQ (Call sign HAWK-ONE)

BLUEFOR SITREP:

During the earlier confrontation, a friendly CUCV was captured, prisoners where taken and moved into the Macedonia side of the border.

An hour ago, a single F-14D Tomcat configured for a TARPS recon sortie from the carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) in the Adriatic Sea has over-flown the AO and relayed tactical intelligence to the JOC at KFOR HQ. The video footage shows what appears to be the CUCV near OBJECTIVE TANGO

Now, US KFOR HQ in Gnjilane has received tentative permission for ground forces in your AO to cross the border and affect a rescue of the CUCV in addition to pacifying the belligerents.

Orders:

Insert at OBJECTIVE KILO

Proceed to OBJECTIVE TANGO locate and secure the CUCV; contact Company HQ (Call sign JULIET-FOUR-ONE) once the CUCV has been secured for further instructions.

Extract at OBJECTIVE KILO

Insertion:

Start at OBJECTIVE KILO

Extraction:

Extract once your forces arrive safely at OBJECTIVE KILO

Reincarnation:

Duration: 120 minutes

REDFOR SITREP:

We have tentatively repulsed American troops away from our operation west of your AO however HQ (Call sign HAWK-ONE) wants you to continue drawing American forces even further east.

To contribute to this effort, we have secured an American CUCV that mistakenly pushed a little too close to the border during the morning engagement. It is currently being held near the RR tracks between OBJECTIVE DELTA and OBJECTIVE TANGO.

Minutes ago, spotters reported an American force pushing up the road from KILO, which more than likely will be the rescue unit.

Disperse your forces accordingly to prevent the Americans from recovering the CUCV with its prisoners, until such time that HAWK-ONE instructs you to withdraw to OBJECTIVE BRAVO to leave the AO.

Objectives:

Insert in place at OBJECTIVE TANGO

Setup a hasty defense of the CUCV in the area delineated as EAST of PHASE LINE ECHO and NORTH of the border

Prevent the American Forces from recovering the CUCV until HAWK-ONE instructs you to pull out, WEST to OBJECTIVE BRAVO.

Insertion:

In place at OBJECTIVE TANGO

Extraction:

In place at OBJECTIVE BRAVO, once HQ (Call sign HAWK-ONE) instructs you to withdraw

Reincarnation:

Die in place for 2 minutes, and then proceed toward OBJECTIVE TANGO to reenter combat another 3 minutes later (~5 minutes total)

Rules of Engagement (ROE):

Freely engage all hostile forces.
