Operation Percontor

BEFORE READING THIS DOCUMENT IT IS ASSUMED THE READER HAS READ AND IS FAMILIAR WITH THE TAU-44 OPERATION PERCONTOR CAMPAIGN BRIEFING.

OpeningUpdates Strategyto OPFOR and ROE

As of the conclusion of Phase 1, there are FOUR identified factions in the campaign area:

  • VMF (Russian Navy), likely on permanent posting in Taviana, with modern gear
  • GRU Div P, Russian SF trained for anomalous contact, with top spec modern gear
  • SSRTA Volunteers (Taviana Army), uniformed, coordinated, and Soviet-geared
  • Conscripts / Ex-Taviana Army, plainclothes, possibly uncoordinated, and Soviet-geared

There is also ONE unidentified faction in the campaign area that was observed in contact with Russian forces. At this time, based on descriptions given and the western gear they've been observed carrying, it is suspected that this fifth faction is Chaos Insurgency (ex-Foundation SF), but further confirmation is required.

As thisall identified factions have demonstrated some level of hostility towards Tau-44, the ROE for Phase 2 and until further notice is UNIVERSAL.

Due to the frequency of plainclothes suicide/explosive attacks, CIVILIANS ARE NOT TO BE CHASED unless we are highly confident they can be safely detained, or if they surrender to us willingly and demonstrate an investigativeinability operation,to ROEharm us.

Strategic Overview

We have three "lanes" of ingress available to us to push south and continue our investigation. In Phase 2 we will be WEAPONSfocusing HOLDon untilthe Russianwestern hostilitylane, iswhich confirmedwill orproceed groundsouthwest commandpast declaresLyubol otherwise.and the oil fields, through Norilsk Military Base and Apshironsk, and then down to Island Hvar.

GivenOnce theon combinationIsland andHvar, concentration of elements of strategic importance in the northern region of Taviana’s major landmass:

  • The KA-60 landing site/Russian form-up point
  • Several highly advantageous possible FOB locations
  • Adjacency to multiple scientific, government, and civilian sites

Tau-44 will target this northern area for our initial ingress into the campaign area. Our intentwe will be tosetting getup and securing an OP, ideally along the road at a quick start on several leads, especially on the trail of the Russian forcesposition that ingressedcan following the blackout event, which may grow cold if we neglect it for too long.

Should contact be made with Russian forces, an attempt should be made to determine their hostility. If hostility is REASONABLY ASSURED, the Russian forces may be declared OPFORsee and thecover ROEboth willapparent revertbridges. toThis WEAPONS TIGHT.

From there we will move to secure a site for our FOB. A few possible areas have been identified from the available maps. Each of these should be scouted and checked for suitability; depending on the evolving situation, the ground command team may decide on any or none of them at the time.
