    Molten Pillar
    Situation
    After confirming a large presence of Wagner Group PMCs in the vicinity of Miroslavl, Alpha Company has received additional intelligence about the “Tsar Bomba”. Informant Nero Laskas claims it is a Soviet-era tactical nuclear warhead. The warhead’s yield is unknown, but it could potentially be anywhere from 3-200 kilotons. At best, it is a massive dirty bomb. At worst, it could wipe the entire county off the map.
    In light of the attempted assault on Chizhov last week, there is little chance the Tsar Bomba is at the town docks. However, there may be actionable intelligence at that objective. With aviation support, First Platoon must assault and finish clearing the docks, then search for intel on the Tsar Bomba.
    Furthermore, intelligence developed by S-2 indicates there is a company-sized Wagner Group element in and around the city of Miroslavl, dug in with with armor and AA. The enemy controls the regional airport west of the city. Wagner Group officer MAJ Danilo Kuzman is reported to command these forces, which appear to be building up for a counterattack on BLUFOR. Kuzman may use the Tsar Bomba as a bargaining chip or possibly employ it against friendly forces if he faces defeat.
    Time is of the essence. We must secure the Tsar Bomba and eliminate the Wagner Group threat around Miroslavl!
    Mission
    First Platoon “Widowmakers” is ordered to assault the enemy held town of Chizhov (OBJ Ashflow). Secure the dockyard and search for evidence of the Tsar Bomba. If possible, capture an EPW for interrogation.
    First Platoon will then assault the regional airport (OBJ Basalt) to prevent enemy air attack and/or potential escape of enemy leadership by air.
    Once this is complete, assault the city of Miroslavl (OBJ Caldera).
    Locate and secure the Tsar Bomba, and clear all objectives of enemy forces. If possible, capture Wagner Group commander MAJ Danilo Kuzman. If intelligence indicates that the Tsar Bomba is located outside of the objectives, First Platoon must be ready to send a team to secure it where it lies.
    3CAB will provide aerial support with reinserts, resupplies, and CAS. One airframe must be prepped and ready on the tarmac at all times to fly infantry to secure the Tsar Bomba.

    Patrol #10
    Situation
    In the aftermath of Mission: Molten Pillar, elements from 1st Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group and Lithuanian Special Operations Force Special Purpose Service picked up where Alpha Company left off. Over the course of nearly 24 hours, BLUFOR captured the city of Miroslavl from Wagner Group forces, securing the county. Intelligence recovered in Miroslavl revealed that Wagner Group MAJ Danilo Kuzman, who evidently was killed by First Platoon while trying to flee the airbase, had planned to relocate his battalion to Panthera to regroup.
    Panthera sits in the eastern Baltic near Lithuania’s maritime border with Kaliningrad. It has a mixed population of ethnic Lithuanian and Russian residents, as well as a small immigrant population. Although largely peaceful until last year, Panthera is a known as a gateway to Western Europe by smugglers moving drugs, weapons, people, and other contraband. Although the island does not appear ideal for an insurgency attempting to overthrow the national government, it does offer terrain conducive for covert operations and caching. In the past two months alone, Russian separatists have conducted 3x raids and 1x ambush on Lithuanian Land Forces.
    Second IBCT has tasked Alpha Company with establishing a base of operations on the island to disrupt Russian separatist and Wagner Group activities and to attrit their forces.
    Mission
    Alpha Company is ordered to establish a FOB at Airport Lesce, a NATO outpost being transferred from the Turkish Land Forces 66th Mechanized Infantry Brigade (NATO Very High Readiness Joint Task Force).
    Once the transfer is complete, First Platoon will patrol two valley systems located southwest of FOB Rocky, Patrol Area Hike and Patrol Area Stroll. There are a number of civilian villages and hamlets in each, as well as potential cache sites. Enemy forces may be encamped in the surrounding mountains, which are concealed by thick forest. Search for signs of Russian separatist and Wagner Group presence, and collect as much actionable intelligence from the local populace as possible. If possible, make contacts with community leaders to develop long-termintelligence sources.

    Fault Plane
    Situation
    Our first patrol into Bled Valley revealed a significant Russian separatist presence on Panthera. Intelligence recovered from a separatist command post confirmed additional Russian seperatist presence in the former Patrol Area Stroll (OBJ Mudslide). Seized communications devices provided additional details about enemy forces in the AO.
    Wagner Group has moved a company-sized force in the military complex south of Porto Ritmo (OBJ Sand Dune). Russian separatist and Wagner Group forces also have respective HQs and garrisons in the city itself (OBJ Tsunami). Together, these forces secure Wagner Group air and sea smuggling operations, which has brought heavy weapons and armored vehicles onto the island.
    Wagner Group maintains command of all separatist forces in these objectives. The element is led by CPT Piotr Usatov, reputed for instilling discipline in his subordinates through brutality and deprivation. It is reported that Usatov has a group of Middle Eastern mercenaries working for him.
    Mission
    First Platoon is ordered to clear OBJ Mudslide to open a gateway and obtain positions from which to assault the other two objectives.
    OBJ Sand Dune is the secondary objective, and a military priority. There is the so-called smuggler’s airport, along with docks, equipment yards, and a communications tower. Intelligence recovered during the patrol indicates Wagner Group has a strong presence here, and they are in the process of moving additional forces onto the island.
    The final objective is OBJ Tsunami, the city of Porto Ritmo. There is a large civilian population here, and they are largely supportive of the separatist movement. First Platoon's mission is to kill/capture Wagner Group CPT Piotr Usatov. If possible, capture any foreign fighters you encounter for questioning.
    3CAB is ordered to facilitate and support the Platoon’s movements with observations, CAS, and transport. This includes the possibility of reinsertion, Medevac, resupply, HVT extract, and other missions as needed.

    Patrol #11
    Situation
    Last week, Alpha Company destroyed a large number of armored vehicles, heavy weapons emplacements, and other targets. These included more recently manufactured Russian weapons and equipment, such as BTR-82s, modernized T-72 and T-80 tanks, and Igla launchers.
    In the aftermath of the mission, S-2 has noted a dramatic decrease in enemy signals traffic, supporting other evidence that Alpha Company has totally disrupted Wagner Group smuggling in the objective areas.
    However, CPT Usatov remains at large and has likely evacuated the area. At this time, it is unknown to what extent enemy operations have shifted or been moved elsewhere in the AO. Whatever the case, Wagner Group forces remain in the vicinity of Porto Ritmo, including those discovered last week in Zappado.
    Mission
    First Platoon “Widomakers” is ordered to patrol OBJ Reverb, the city of Porto Ritmo. During Mission: Fault Plane, elements of the Platoon skirmished with Wagner Group forces on the edge of the city near Smuggler’s Airport. 3rdID must ensure these enemy units are cleared from the objective.
    From there, First Platoon is to move southwest to OBJ Sound, the industrial complex of Zappado. This dense urban terrain contained a large number of enemy troops, vehicles, and MANPADs last week and must be cleared as well.
    The Platoon should actively search for intel left behind by enemy forces and seek information from civilians on the whereabouts of Wagner Group HVT CPT Piotr Usatov.
    3CAB is ordered to provide advance reconnaissance and observation prior to Oscar Mike. "Falcons" must prep for missions as called from First Platoon, including reinsert, resupply, CAS, etc.
