Event details


Operation Iron Ryder

MISSION OBJECTIVE:

We have received intelligence reports that the CSAT 1st Armoured Brigade has recently completed trials on the T140 Angara 5K Main Battle Tank.

In their attempt to break the deadlock on Tanoa, they have received a troop of these new tank units to the port of Lijnhaven, and our intel suggests they are storing them in the nearby airfield hangars prior to deploying them in combat. Task Force Straya has been tasked with capturing at least two of these tanks and at least two supporting Tempest repair vehicles, and then extracting them to the NATO/Straya airbase so we can further determine their capabilities.

SQUAD SETUP:

Commander for the operation is @decibel_spl

The operation will comprise of:

Callsign Alpha (Mechanised):

Callsign Bravo (Motorised Light Infantry): 

  • Squad Lead: @BigRed
  • Squad 2IC: (vacant)

Callsign Charlie: (Motorised Light Infantry):

Callsign Delta: (Helo insert/extraction support)

  • Pilot: (vacant)

Callsign Echo: (Overwatch)

  • Squad Lead (vacant)

* Note that Echo Squad will need to be deployed at least 30 minutes prior to the main deployment.

 

Squad leaders and Commander @decibel_spl are planning the operation in the days leading up to Sunday 3rd February 2019. Volunteers for squads should message squad leads directly, or wait for appointment prior to the commencement of the operation.

The mission details are initially as follow, but subject to final briefing and specific operational details from the operation commander and squad leaders.

Phase One: Move to and secure the port facility of Lijnhaven.

Phase Two: Upon successful securing of the port facility, capture and return  two T140k Angara tanks, and two Tempest repair vehicles to the TaskForce Straya base of operations.

Password: straya

The operation is scheduled to start at 12pm AEDT.

WEAPONS\UNIFORM:

Post Activity Review: Operation Iron Ryder

Conducted: 03 Feb 2019

Reviewed: 04 Feb 2019

Location: Tanoan South-Eastern Island, focused around Harcourt and Lijnhaven.

Objectives: Seize two enemy T140 5K Angara tanks, and two Zamak Repair trucks

Commentary:

Reconnaissance forces stepped off at H-Hour - 30 Minutes, consisting of an amphibious recon team inserting south of Lijnhaven. They inserted without incident and began reporting to the combatant commanders on enemy dispositions. At H-Hour, a large convoy departed the NATO Airbase consisting of a mechanised unit (Callsign Rhino), and two motorised infantry units (Cheetah and Wolf).

This convoy crossed the bridge into Harcourt and encountered moderate but effective resistance - with Callsign Rhino being rendered combat ineffective. The decision was made for Cheetah and Bravo to continue to advance with elements of Rhino, while a small observer team was left in Harcourt. A roadblock along the planned route resulted in the alternate route being used. C/S Wolf continued to advance South West and held enemy reinforcements in Lijnhaven.

C/S Cheetah split from command and advanced through the forest onto the target hangars - which, while against the commander's plan, was mostly effective with heavy casualties. The tanks were secured and departed immediately, but were hindered by mines placed along the northern road out of Lijnhaven. One Zamak Repair trucks were destroyed by enemy mines and infantry along the road - meaning only the tanks could be extracted from the island. One of the target tanks was destroyed by an incident at a local repair station en-route.

Outcome: 

1 / 2 Target Tanks Secured

1 / 2 Target Repair Trucks Secured

Mission deemed partial success, although ultimate mission was not met.

Fix:

Zeus: Nil

Tactical:

1. Ensure that you follow your squad leader's direction (They're working hard too). If you feel you have a better idea, present it to them or maintain comms while you do your own thing. Ultimately these missions are intended to be fun and communicative so both hardcore tacticians and Rambo's are in the right - just remember to compromise for each other.

2. Utilise UAV to build an even more detailed enemy picture.

Sustain:

Zeus: 

1. Dedicated Server

2. Enemy set up prior, including reactionary forces. 

3. Paratroop/Quick Reaction Force is a realistic response. Although most likely delivered by direct landing/vehicle - paratroopers are ****en cool and a sustain IMO

Tactical:

1 . Detailed reconaissance conducted 

2. Adaptability to enemy road blockage.

Improve:

Zeus: Nil

Tactical:

1. Look into alternate entry points to the island. The bridge was one of several - and could have gone very wrong without contingency. Recommend amphibious or airborne insertions to support these ops in future as necessary. The use of the bridge for the return was inevitable.

End of Report

Solid work.

May the Force be with you.
