UpdatesThe tocurrent state of OPFOR and ROE
Following the eventsAs of WednesdaySunday 14th,20 June, there are nowfive FIVEknown identifiedfactions operating in the campaign area.
Chaos Insurgency (CI, a.k.a. "red eyes") - SHOOT ON SIGHT
CI is the primary threat actor in the sphere of operations. CI fields elite operators equipped with modern upper-tier body armour and weaponry, and are familiar with MTF procedures and doctrine. CI have demonstrated extreme ruthlessness and have been observed in conflict with almost all other factions in the campaign area.
CI (Chaos Insurgency) presence in the area of operations is confirmed. We also now have definitive proof that they are usingknown theto beamsuse teleportation, indicated by an extremely visible beam of light (i.e.described theas a "rapture" effect) to teleportmove personnel and materiel around.materiel. It's currently suspected that this costs them significant resources, as they appear to be capable of teleporting anyone or anything (including MTF personnel), but have refrained from doing so outside of one single event.
So far they have demonstrated the capability to teleport light armoured vehicles, personnel, ANDand explosive payloads - the latter being used offensively to corral retreating MTF in one instance and destroy buildings in other instances. All operators should be prepared to deal with any threat emerging from a teleport site.
CIOther hostile factions - ENGAGE WHEN NECESSARY
See entry: The Soviet Socialist Republic of Taviana Army (SSRTA)
Conscripts/Ex-army (bandits) are not a single coordinated faction as far as we know, rather loose collections of civilian militia, non-uniformed and armed with either hunting or surplus military issue rifles. All local military aged males are expected to have served in the army as conscripts, and pose a threat in large numbers or as isolated guerilla fighters.
Neutral/friendly factions - DO NOT ENGAGE UNLESS HOSTILE
GRU Division "P" is Russia's official anomaly containment specialist division. "Officially" disbanded in 1991 along with the Soviet Union, but operating openly ever since Lifted Veil, Div P positions,are includinghighly trained, well equipped operators. Tau-44 nearly established positive contact with their commander, but were prevented due to intervention by CI. Believed to be mostly wiped out, Tau-44 has worked with individual Div P operators without incident.

Russian Airborne Forces (VDV) are known to have extended some air superiority over the locationcampaign TAU-44area and have conducted bombing runs in some locales.

In all other cases, ROE remains UNIVERSAL across the board until further notice. Our contact policy per faction is as follows:

Strategic Overview
As we've had no success in making actual contact with GRU Div P, on account of them being attacked and in some cases brutally executed by CI, we've got little leftobjective in the waycampaign area is to investigate and determine the nature of the anomalous threat, Taviana's population, and compile a trailcomprehensive understanding of how and why this situation unfolded.

Tau-44 has made great progress on locating and securing access to Sector C beneath the south-eastern Dubovo airport north to the FOB, right around the towncity of Sevestapol.

The current logistics priority is getting FOB3 - the police station along the Olga River, northwest of Zagorye - up to full operating capacity, and wedeploying knowNu-7 that"Hammer CI have the capability to assault them as well. Though they were nominally cooperative with the Russians, with no GRU left to tell them to cooperate, we're going to have to take what we can by force before CI try something similar.
