Op Pinetree

After months of heavy fighting near the Finnish/Russian border this war has turned into a near stalemate with no gains beyond a few kilometers either way. Intercepted enemy comms have revealed that a high ranking member of the Russian political elite is making a visit to a checkpoint town near the front line. We have devised a plan to capture him and bring him in for interrogation

Brief

at 8:15 we are expecting a Russian armored assault on a trench line currently held by the US 2nd Cavalry Regiment. they expect to be pushed back from this assault, but we will use it as cover to infiltrate enemy lines. we will have to crawl past heavy enemy armor remaining undetected although we will be close by. the US 82nd airborne has been brought in to help bolster the defenses and create more of a distraction for us. we will also be covered by a FiAF F-35 - callsign Snake, armed with 4gbu-12 and a 25mm cannon.

our first objective will be to blow up 2 buildings being used as temporary barracks to create some confusion. we will plant charges covertly. a sniper team - callsign Loki - will cover us from a disused factory chimney located ~600m to the south of the obj

once this has been complete and we have exited this AO we will head north to a Russian vehicle depo where we will steal a Kamaz truck to use for a makeshift roadblock. Meanwhile Loki will head east to disable the HVTs only other exit - a MI-8 receiving maintenance at a forward helipad.

once we have the Kamaz we will rendezvous with Loki and park it on the road in a pre marked position.

when the Russians realize they are under attack they will attempt to Extract the HVT and will try to use this road. fearing a trap - we expect the extract team to dump the vehicles they are in at the roadblock and escort the HVT on foot through the woodland where Snake will guide us ahead of their position for an ambush.

then we will exfil with the HVT via helo.
