Operation Iron Will

Bundeswehr forces have been deployed to Sumava to engage in COunter INsurgency (COIN) in the region. Sumavan separatist militia forces are disguising themselves amongst the population and attempting to sieze control of local governments and infrastructure through fear, violence and intimidation. Your objective is to degrade the Insurgency forces while being mindful of the ROE, including not over-using force to complete your objectives.

SITREP

At 1230 LIMA time, SIGINT detected a number of references to a 'PHOENIX' codeword, which we believe to be the initiation signal for Insurgent cells to activate in the nearby towns. We have detected numerous threats to the immediate area, and through intelligence have identified the following:

1. An enemy weapons cache has been reported, from which rebel cells are re-arming at an alarming rate
2. Insurgency leaders are gathering in a nearby town to discuss battle plans
3. Advanced EM Spectrum jamming equipment has been purchased from CSAT, and there is the potential that there are CSAT trainers or other personnel in the region.
4. An enemy staging ground has been reported
5. Enemy convoys are moving between towns, reinforcing troops and transporting leaders in armoured vehicles.

COMINT

Commanders intentions are simple: remaining within ROE, complete as many objectives as possible in the deployment window.

ROE

• Do not kill civillians. Do not fire unless fired upon or PID is achieved.
• Do not wipe out entire villages to complete an objective - killing more insurgents creates more insurgents. Complete objectives with surgical precision.
• CSAT forces should preferably be captured instead of killed.
