Event details
Situation
The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) 4th RGB is on the verge of collapse after losing over 80% of its combat forces to Alpha Company. The remnants of Kurdish “A” Company sits entrenched in Hajellah Valley, and Brigade Commander COL Zoran Hozan remains in-zone as ordered by PKK High Command. NATO’s opportunity to destroy PKK power in Uzbin Valley is at hand.
At the same time, Iranian Quds Force operatives have become increasingly brazen in the northern valley, training and arming local Iranian militia and calling in aircraft from Iranian bases. S-2 and NATO IFC have corroborated intel showing Iranian plans to seize key terrain and strike PKK targets in Kurdistan. The Pentagon is preparing for a possible confrontation with Tehran.
Mission
Alpha Company “War Eagles” is ordered to patrol Hajellah Valley in order to clear remaining PKK forces in Uzbin Valley. Kurdish “A” Company, 4th RGB holds the market town of Hajellah and its environs. The local ‘mayor’ Kawa Fez is complicit in human rights violations against Yazidi and ethnic-Iranian minorities in Uzbin Valley and has been designated an HVT along with PKK COL Zoran Hozan.
- First Platoon “Widowmakers” is tasked with clearing the objective area, which includes HVT Kawa Fez’ compound (OBJ Assur), the village of Hajellah (OBJ Bethel), and PKK base (OBJ Canaan).
- Second Platoon “Griffins” is tasked with zone reconnaissance and enemy target marking. Priority of targets is enemy armor, crew-served weapons, and the 2x HVT.
-
3CAB “Falcons” is tasked with general aviation support.
All armed contacts in the objective areas are presumed to be hostile. Be cautious of unarmed civilians in residential areas. We identified a no-fly zone above the north-eastern airfield. 3CAB is to avoid flying near that region. Due to the mass destruction of the enemy major AA capabilities in the previous mission, the PKK is using the remaining equipments they have therefore we should expect only a few manpads in the AO, nothing bigger than that.
