Operation Harvest Red Week 2
OPERATION ORDER
MAP: Chenarus
DATE: 21/04/2018
Operation Name: Harvest Red
Terrain: Urban city, forests, hills
Weather: Clear Sies
Forecast: Clear
Starting Time: 1900
Starting Position: South Airfield
===============================================================================
Situation:
USMC forces have been able to prevent the total destruction of the CDF and now established a foothold and also moved their base of operations to the newly captured airfield from where AAC will now operate its assets from. Now the CDF have asked for the US forces to assist in their advance north to take the nearby villages up in the hills to ensure that we do not get attacked by artillery/mortars. Our job is to make sure the CDF can complete their new objective, see below for details
==============================================================================
Briefing:
We have identified 2 locations from where we think the chadaki have taken up ambush positions in order to intercept the CDF which will be on their way to Kozlovka to re-take the town. US forces must go as soon as possible to the 2 ambush locations and clear them of any threat before the CDF move though them. We cannot wait for long as the CDF commander of the troops appears to be impatient so move as soon as you are ready. Once the CDF have moved though the area they will begin their assault which then the AAC will step in to help the CDF in anyway they can in order to take the town back, we bealive the forces there will have tanks/apcs so these should be priority targets.
The ground forces also must take out the AAA position to allow the AAC to fly freely to provide maximum support otherwise things will get very hard. Once this is done we can then move to help the CDF take control of our final objective Zelenogorsk.
===============================================================================
Infantry Task Force:
Task 1: Move from the airfield to clear the 2 ambush points before CDF pass though
Task 2: Take out the AAA at the AAA site
Task 3: Secure the town of Zelenogorsk
USMC AAC:
Task 1: Support the CDF assault on the town of Kozlovka
Task 2: Avoid the AAA site till the ground forces destroy it
Task 3: Support the platoon as requested and be wary of any air based attacks which the chadaki may respond with

Operation: Bite & Hold (Remake)
14/04/18
Operation: Bite & Hold
Situation
During the winter months, CSAT captured most of the island of Altis. International pressure enforced a shaky seize fire. It is now spring, and the AAF have had considerable time to build up their forces.
On a rainy morning, AAF mechanised forces counter attack. Their objective is to gain a foothold in Pyrgos against superiour CSAT formations.
Enemy Forces
CSAT maintains a significant troop presence on the island. Due to economic sanctions and blockades, enemy forces and garrison troops field mostly outdated kit.
CSAT ground troops are supported by their air force.
CSAT air space is safeguarded by numerous AAA and SPAA.
CSAT have had much time to fortify their positions. Having set up solid defensive positions, the enemy will be able to reinforce their troops with ease. However, CSAT is unable to keep their impressive army supplied indefinitely.
Mission
3rd Platoon AAF Mechanised Grenadiers will perform a counter attack on CSAT’s Southern flank. The main objective of the operation is to seize a foot hold in Pyrgos and defend it against any CSAT attempts to recapture the city in its entirety. At mission time +03:00h, 3rd Plt must hold Line Red at the very least.
The best possible outcome for AAF forces in this mission is to capture Pyrgos in its entirety and defend it against any CSAT attempt to recapture any part of it.

OPERATION ORDER
MAP: Malden
DATE: 07/04/18 19:00 UTC
Operation Name: The Fall Of Stanley
Terrain: Small Towns, Mountains, Ridges, Open Ground, Airfield
Weather: Light Rain, Storm
Forecast: Light Rain, Storm
Starting Time: 0830 hours
Starting Position: Wideawake Airfield
===============================================================================
History:
On the night of 11 June, after several days of painstaking reconnaissance and logistic build-up, British forces launched a brigade-sized night attack against the heavily defended ring of high ground surrounding Stanley. Units of 3 Commando Brigade, supported by naval gunfire from several Royal Navy ships, simultaneously attacked in the Battle of Mount Harriet, Battle of Two Sisters, and Battle of Mount Longdon. Mount Harriet was taken at a cost of 2 British and 18 Argentine soldiers. At Two Sisters, the British faced both enemy resistance and friendly fire, but managed to capture their objectives. The toughest battle was at Mount Longdon. British forces were bogged down by assault rifle, mortar, machine gun, artillery fire, sniper fire, and ambushes. Despite this, the British continued their advance.
===============================================================================
Briefing:
Having secured Sapper Hill, Douglas wouldn't fall so easily and the Argentine forces have managed to hold their ground. The Argentine forces have set up a strong hold on the southern side of Douglas. This mission continues from where it ended last week and we will need to continue completing the objectives. The main objective in Operation Mikado is to secure the airfield.

Battle for the Falklands - Week 3.5
OPERATION ORDER
MAP: Malden
DATE: 24/03/18 19:00 UTC
Operation Name: Mikado Part 2
Terrain: Small Towns, Mountains, Ridges, Open Ground, Airfield
Weather: Full Overcast Heavy Rain, Sea Mist
Forecast: Full Overcast Heavy Rain, Sea Mist
Starting Time: 0830 hours
Starting Position: Douglas Purple Sector
===============================================================================
History:
The Guards were sent to support an advance along the southern approach to Stanley. On 2 June, a small advance party of 2 Para moved to Swan Inlet house in a number of Army Westland Scout helicopters. Telephoning ahead to Fitzroy, they discovered that the area was clear of Argentines and (exceeding their authority) commandeered the one remaining RAF Chinook helicopter to frantically ferry another contingent of 2 Para ahead to Fitzroy (a settlement on Port Pleasant) and Bluff Cove (a settlement on Port Fitzroy).
This uncoordinated advance caused great difficulties in planning for the commanders of the combined operation, as they now found themselves with a 30 miles (48 km) string of indefensible positions on their southern flank. Support could not be sent by air as the single remaining Chinook was already heavily oversubscribed. The soldiers could march, but their equipment and heavy supplies would need to be ferried by sea.
Plans were drawn up for half the Welsh Guards to march light on the night of 2 June, whilst the Scots Guards and the second half of the Welsh Guards were to be ferried from San Carlos Water in the Landing Ship Logistics (LSL) Sir Tristram and the landing platform dock (LPD) Intrepid on the night of 5 June. Intrepid was planned to stay one day and unload itself and as much of Sir Tristram as possible, leaving the next evening for the relative safety of San Carlos. Escorts would be provided for this day, after which Sir Tristram would be left to unload using a Mexeflote (a powered raft) for as long as it took to finish.
