Posted December 22, 2022 WARNORD 23DEC22 Mission: Snowball 1. SITUATION There is cheer in the air as free Chernarussians prepare to celebrate Christmas. In spite of a grinding civil war and economic depression, resourceful families have scrimped to take part in the annual holiday feast. Redeployed to Joint Base Černi in an advisory capacity, our men have established themselves at Camp Jolly as part of NATO Task Force Sauerkraut. At the end of the yearly CDF summer offensive, lines hardened once again. Each side continued to fortify their positions until the winter freeze set in last month. Since then, the lines have stalemated. Chernarussian Socialist Republic president Ivan Ivanov has, as expected, summarily outlawed Christmas as a bourgeois festival of fairy tales. He has also repeated threats to shoot down Santa Claus if he enters ChDKZ airspace. Tonight, CDF radars at Joint Base Černi have seen no sign of unidentified aircraft within Chernarussian airspace. However, at 2345, ATC received a faded and distorted radio call for emergency rescue. Honed in on the call during a second transmission, NATO triangulated the source to the north side of Novy Sobor, just a few kilometers southeast of Camp Jolly. Command is extremely concerned that ChDKZ forces may have downed Santa in the area. 2. MISSION TF Sauerkraut is ordered to move to Novy Sobor to search for the call sign requesting rescue, who is suspected to be Santa Claus. Locate, secure, and evacuate the HVT before Chedaki forces find him or you. 3. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS (a) SPECIAL TEAMS/TASK ORG 1. Alpha CO, 1-2IN, 3rdID (NATO TF Sauerkraut) (b) COMMON EQUIPMENT 1.
