Op White Orchid 05 - 2025/07/26

Situation

[WIP - standby]

Acknowledgements

  • Refer to the situation report for detailed information on known factions and identification.
  • Civilian population are neutral to our activities, though it is likely members of the cartel are among the population.
  • Police, while government-funded and cartel-controlled, appear to heavily support the local population. While not overtly hostile, they are unlikely to assist us in anyway and will most likely report our positions if detected.
  • Columbian intelligence operatives have been operating in the region against the cartel. We haven't been read into their ongoing operations or locations, keep an eye out and check fire against operatives and/or teams that may be in the region. 

Commanders intent

The current phase of Operation White Orchid focuses on exploiting actionable intelligence—especially through vehicle tracking—to locate and eliminate all viable high-value targets (HVTs) within the Chucomayo Cartel’s leadership and military structure. Our objective is to strike with speed and precision, using real-time intel to disrupt cartel command-and-control and dismantle critical leadership elements before they can recover or mount a coordinated response.

Our approach will exploit the cartel’s overconfidence and operational overstretch, ensuring that every engagement compounds their disarray. Civilian impact will remain minimised, but we anticipate resistance as cartel forces retreat toward bigger population centres and attempt to shield their leadership.

The end state is a battlespace shaped for decisive follow-up operations against the remaining leadership cadre, with cartel command fractured and unable to re-establish cohesive control.
