OP 07 - 2024/05/25
Situation
After raiding the home of Dimitri Volkov and the HQ to the North, enough intel was gathered to locate and determine the capabilities of the device, something capable of generating an Electromagnetic pulse (EMP). Their attempt was to draw Borealos forces deeper into Novograd, detonating it and launching a sustained counter attack. Even though the device was detonated when located by 40 Commando, the damage was limited to only a few Borealos forces operating within the 1km range.
The bridge supporting NPL logistics to the west was successfully destroyed significantly hindered both sides movement of troops and logistics, however, BDF forces have managed to secure a significant portion of the western coast while NPL forces retreated and reorganised.
The intel gathered at the home and HQ allowed us to locate a possible location for the 2nd device. We believe this one is packed up, in storage and therefore not armed.
During the assault on the Anti air emplacement and special forces barracks north of DV’s primary residence, a whiteboard with rough markings and types of operations for deployed Novograd Special Forces was secured. Their rough locations and operating area have been marked up along with the limited information on their taskings.
Acknowledgements
The airfield to the North of the region has had a significant, three fold uptick in activity. Transport helicopters, trucks and troop movement have been identified moving West, reinforcing and securing positions as they advance. Anti-Air and Artillery emplacements are condensing to the North with a heavy build up for NPL infantry and armour across the region.
Borealos Defense Force has been greenlit for support by our assets and may call upon 29 Commando and Joint Helicopter Command for firemissions, CAS and transport.

Intent & Tasking(s)
Intent of the following taskings is to destroy NPL supporting assets (anti-air and artillery) preventing significant BDF advances and their ability to maintain the main airfield and keep resupplied.
Objectives overview - [ image 1 | image 2 | image 3 | image 4 ]
The main task is to destroy the two artillery batteries being used across the western coastline and western region. The battery positions are somewhat well defended, due to their positioning however the main threat is the roaming patrols and QRF forces that may react when they are assaulted.
To improve the success on the main tasking and support reinforcements, resupplies and CAS further to the north, one significant Anti Air position near the town of Stary Sobor needs to be destroyed. Due to its proximity to the town, artillery isn’t a viable option and CAS would require high accuracy and designation by ground forces.
Finally, once the batteries are down. The second task is to raid Pobeda dam to the north. Then locate, secure and destroy the secondary EMP device in storage.
