Situation
Last week, the first platoon was able to keep both checkpoints while also increasing and securing our territory up north. This means that the whole North-Eastern enemy forces were pocketed by that move. We have been tasked by high command to destroy them and secure this part of the AO for good. While we take care of the eastern part, Lithuanian forces will push west. We must act quickly before the Russian separatist forces try to break out from the encirclement.
Mission
Alpha Company "War Eagles", First Platoon "Widowmakers" will be tasked with one simple mission : Annihilates all Russian separatist main forces within the AO. Recon by air and satellite showed a clear concentration of enemy on 5 key locations marked below :
- OBJ Whiteboard : A small compound occupied by at least a platoon worth of Russian separatists. It's a motorized platoon, so light armored vehicles should be expected.
- OBJ Blackboard : A sizeable town occupied by what we think are highly trained Wagner PMCs troops. It's highly possible that they are equipped with heavy weaponry, including ATGMs and MANPADs.
- OBJ Canson : Some sort of storage area, we do not have a lot of intel on what purpose it has for the Russian separatists.
- OBJ Pen : A small rural area occupied by a mix of Russian separatists and Wagner troops.
-  OBJ Paperblank : a long stretch of road occupied by enemy forces and most likely armored vehicles.
Unknown markers acts as secondary, but not mandatory objectives. We recorded human activity at those locations, but we couldn't determine if they were civilians or separatists.
Civilian markers are occupied only by civilians, they can be armed to defend their settlements.

Intel
(a) While it's highly unlikely that the enemy forces still has ZSU-23-4 in the area, it's highly possible that Wagner PMCs are equipped with a few MANPADs. Air assets should be careful around enemy objectives.
(b) From what we could gather, it's possible that the enemy forces captured a few civilians and might be using them as hostages.
(c) While we are 80% sure that the Prime Minister is not located on this AO. There might be a few piece of intel that could be found to help us triangulate his location.

Patrol #06
Situation
Last week, Alpha Company "War Eagles", First Platoon "Widowmakers" was able to close the encirclement on the Russian separatist forces, who were severely backed up by Wagner PMCs. We also were able to find Intel that shows that the Wagner PMCs most likely moved the Prime Minister to a coastal area. We've been able to track them to an area near the city of Šilutė. We've reason to think that this area is under heavy influence of Russian separatists with the proximity it has with Kaliningrad.
Mission
This week, Alpha Company "War Eagles" will be tasked with a small patrol to get the temperature  in the area and secure our freshly built FOB SENTINEL. For that, we are going to occupy Checkpoint OMEGA and foot patrol two areas : Centaur and Griffin. We know that both areas are mostly occupied by civilians. But it is highly possible that there is a Russian separatist presence in the area. You must keep your eyes open for possibles IEDs or caches of equipment. We do not know the exact presence of enemy forces in the area, and we need to determinate if they are hiding in the woods or in towns.

Mission Rabbit Chase
Situation
Last week First Platoon arrived in the province of Maksniemi and started off by patrolling the Eastern side of the province, discovering that due to the close proximity to Russian Borders, Russian Separatists are a part of the populace here. Reconnaissance of the extensive forests up north was upscaled based on the intel that Russian Separatists are constructing extensive fortifications hidden in secluded heavily forested areas.
Mission
First Platoon is tasked with locating and eliminating 2 AA sites (OBJ Battleaxe, Husky) destroying any armed vehicles and ammo caches found (Ensure collateral damage is minimal).
After the OBJ Battleaxe, Husky have been dealt with, First Platoon is to move in on OBJ Torch where it is believed that a high ranking Wagner Group Officer Domantas Petrauskas is residing. The Objective is to capture the officer alive and secure any intel found in his residence and the surrounding outposts. Trucks loaded with boats were observed moving south of OBJ Torch along with frequent visits from the officer, it is believed that this serves as a "escape route" for the officer if his residence comes under attack.

(b) Close-up on OBJ Torch
- It is believed that OBJ Torch is occupied entirely by the Wagner Group. Extreme caution should be exercised when approaching and dealing with this Objective. Mines and tripwires in doorways are most likely present.
- Compound A1 is the most likely location of Domantas Petrauskas, sadly no close-up pictures of the compound itself couldn't be obtained due to Wagner Patrols and Aerial Reconnaissance is not available due to the AA Threat in the Area.
- Fortfied Outpost is an old Soviet Checkpoint/Headquarters that was used as a tourist attraction, Wagner Group took over this Checkpoint and are using it as a FOB in the Area. This picture was taken just before the Wagner Group took over.

(c) Picture of Domantas Petrauskas (With the beanie) meeting with the local police department a few days ago.
- Police Forces in this area should be treated with caution, it is unknown if they are still loyal to the Lithuanian Government.

Patrol #7
Situation
As a result of last week's mission, S-2 has exploited a treasure trove of intelligence. Captured Wagner Group Captain Domantas Petrauskas was revived by a US Army medical trauma team despite severe blood loss and brain damage. In his drugged state, he has admitted that Prime Minister Rolandas Šimonytėwas was recently moved to a safe house outside of the town of Maksniemi.
In addition, the Russian separatist deserter is singing like a bird. "Yuri," as we'll call him, has stated that the ethnic Russian population in southern Lithuania is largely supportive of the separatists, providing money and safe haven for insurgents throughout the AO. The residential cluster in the vicinity of Maksniemi is allegedly a hotbed of support. He reports there is a separatist camp in Saari that controls the docks to the south. When roads are blocked or NATO patrols are active, insurgents move personnel and supplies by boat.
Another EPW also admitted that Wagner Group has joined them in force and has already taken control of separatist logistics, intelligence, and mission planning. PMCs continue to pour into the region from Kaliningrad. A number of Lithuanian border guards are known to be complicit with illegal movements of men and weapons due to bribery.
NATO has established an observation post in the town of Marostenmaki, west of the patrol area. Lithuanian Land Forces are monitoring the vehicle traffic entering and leaving the county while maintaining a blocking force during the patrol.
Mission
Alpha Company "War Eagles" is tasked with patrolling the residential area in and around Maksniemi. Search for enemy presence, including hostile/suspicious personnel, safe houses, hide sites, caches, contraband, and actionable intelligence. Enemy Prisoners of War should be taken alive whenever possible.
Speak with Maksniemi mayor Algirdas Bartulis to create a working relationship and gain information about the separatists (OBJ Alus). In addition to phones, PCs, and documents, exploit human intelligence when possible (i.e. civilians, police, and Lithuainian militia). It is crucial that we discover the PM’s location before separatists have a chance to move him again. Clear separatist camp at Saari (OBJ Birzai) and secure the docks.

(a) There is a high civilian presence in the patrol area. While it is suspected that separatist supports are active, we must build rapport with the rest of the noncombatant population. For this reason:
  1. DO NOT enter civilian building(s) without cause.
  2.DO NOT detain civilian(s) without cause.
  3. Keep vehicle, HMG, and explosives usage in the patrol area to a minimum.
  4. If explosives are found in civilian areas, clearly mark the location(s) on map for engineers to clear later.
(b) Enemy use of mines and/or explosives is likely. This may include explosive-laden drones.
(c) Maksniemi mayor Algirdas Bartulis has an office at city hall, immediately north of the OBJ Alus marker.
