CMBS Leave No Stone Unturned

PROMOTED FROM THE PROVING GROUNDS II

A Russian Recon Battalion has stationed for the night at the area of operation (AO) shown on your map. We know for sure that the Russians carry on them highly valuable intelligence about the compositions of their forces, strategic plans and logistical chains. The problem is we don’t know where exactly all this data is kept.

Mission

Your mission is to search all possible locations and collect all laptops and data storage devices we can find and bring them home for analysis. During the sweep we will not be in a position to know what is valuable and what is not. I have marked on your map the broad locations that you need to search. Make sure you clear each and all buildings there, collect everything that resembles a data storage device and bring it in.

Intel & Plan

The initial plan was to simply inset Company A with helos a few km away, rally here (north setup zone) at 02:30 and assault the Russian positions. The problem is that recent intelligence tells us that two platoons of Russian tanks (not sure what type) are approaching from the SE and are about to enter the area of operations via the bridge at the east of you map. If this happens Company A is as good as “dead on arrival”. To counter this we have assembled 3 crack squads of LRS platoon enhanced with a sniper, a breach and a javelin team with the mission to escort a JTAC and a FS team on the top of Hill 101 dominating the AO. They will enter the AO from the west (west setup zone) at 02:00 riding on two Humvees and three LMTVs Their mission is to paint the bridge with laser and allow a precision strike by two F16s (Callsing: Archangel) cutting the access of the enemy tanks in the AO. We know that at least two SAMs operate in the AO. Try to spot them and kill them with your javeling team or precision rounds to maximise the probabilities of success of Archangel. For this purpose 2 x 120mm mortars have been assigned to you. You will need to spot them yourselve as no UAVs are available for this mission. Being on the hill, the team will also search the house on the top. For the success of the operation, It is imperative that the bridge is destroyed by no later than 02:45. You must order the airstrike even if some of the enemy air defences are not neutralised by that time. With this mind you must move at a quick pace and reach the hilltop without any delay.We do not template any enemy positions to the west of the foothills of Hill 101. After the bridge is destroyed, the tactical handling of the situation is entirely up to you. From 03:00 onwards a battery of 6 x 105mm Howitzers will be at your disposal. At 4:00 12 LMTVs Callsign: (Limo Service) will enter the AO from NW to help your fast evacuation at the exit points (west). About the same time two Apaches will be placed at your disposal to cover your retreat to the exit points. Expect that the Russians will be furious by that time and will be throwing to you everything at their disposal including the proverbial kitchen sink. They will be coming from SE and knowing that the bridge has been destroyed they will probably be riding amphibious IFVs.

Good luck and remember to leave no stone unturned.
