Operation Foretold Reckoning, Part 5

After destroying the supporting Supply Depot outside the Virojoki Airbase, Red Reckoning are reeling. This victory allowed elements from 45 Commando, Royal Marines to advance and secure the Airbase, and allowed the NATO 2 QRF Squadron to station there, securing air superiority for the region. The squadron remains on standby to react to any emerging airborne threats.

Briefing

The remaining resistance in the area comes from the region capital of Virojoki itself, where a pocket of dug-in resistance remains. Your objective is to secure the City, and once done, move along the highway MSR Virojoki and secure a major junction at ASR Harju to slow down enemy QRF. We have a small friendly checkpoint just along the frontline which will do their best to stop enemy reinforcements, but they might not be able to hold out forever.

Commander's Intentions

It's intended that squads will completely wipe out all embedded resistance in the city. Use complex movement and support-by-fire to achieve this, as there is a lot of densely concentrated enemy pockets. Additionally there are a lot of enemy vehicles, so Rotary Wing CAS is available. Use of the IFV is not recommended as it is equipped for anti-air, which we do not expect to be a problem this mission. JTACs and Rotary Wing should do some training before the mission so it will be up early and I will spawn a test range for them to practice. JTACs and Pilots must be connected to the server at 1800Z to receive this training. Additionally JTACs will need to consider attack headings in order to avoid breaching ROE.

Rules of Engagement

• Do not destroy civilian infrastructure or buildings.
• Destroying fortified enemy structures (checkpoints etc.) is allowed, just not buildings.
• Do not engage civilian vehicles, including IDAP which are operating in the area by giving services to the wounded.
