Everybody is Welcome: you don't have to belong to Kanium. We love playing with you all, the arranger and CO loves you even more if you sign up in advance Operation Icepick 24th of March 2020 SB Mission by Nike-Ajax I. Situation Time 0630 Local Time - dawn is just breaking Weather Clear Skies with no chance of rain, 10 degrees Centigrade and LOS 3500 Km General. In light of an direct attack on one of our allies in NATO, Article 5 of the NATO Charter has been evoked. And following that then NATO is now formally at war. As the spearhead in this Area of Operations, than a Spanish Battlegroup has been assembled and deployed in theater. Our Taskforce - Taskforce Tigre - is part of this Battlegroup, and have been assembled to clear the Enemy to our North. We are on our allied Nation´s soil, but all their citizens have either been evacuated, killed in battle with the invaders or have been killed by the invaders since. The word from our Allied in light of this is, to quote: "Show no restraint and use maximum effort" We have local air superiority, but are limited to strike planes. Enemy Forces. The Enemy Land Forces have roughly a 2 Companies of combat power defending the area, with at least one full tank company (Leopard 2A4) and one company of mechanized infantry (BMP-2´s). These are augmented with dismounted ENY infantry, that are expected to have access to MILANs and M72A4´s and possibly BGM-71 TOWs. As the ENY have had a limited time to prepare, then we do not expect major Obstacles or minefields, but confidence about that is low - if encountered, then bypass. Regardless of this and given the intel then we do expect them to be entrenched and in a combat stance. From SIGINT we know that the ENY have access to Artillery in substantial but unknow amounts. Friendly Forces. We have other NATO Forces to our EAST and WEST that will push forward and support our attack. So do NOT cross the Taskforce boundaries reference Map trace, to avoid risk of Friendly Fire - this includes the UAV. Our Taskforce consists of 3 x tank platoons of Leopardo 2E as well as 2 x mechanized infantry platoon of Pizarro, along with a tactical reserve of 1 PLT of VRCC/Centauros and a 1 PLT of BMR-600/Pandur with ERCWS (12,7 HMG). We have also been augmented with a UAV from Golf Company, 3 x 6 tubes of 155mm howitzers and 6 x 120 mm mortars from Fox Company with its own supply truck (with the howitzers being further back, so off-map), as well as support assets from Hotel Company (repair, supply and medical). Our dismounted infantry from A COY is equipped with light machine guns (MG3s) and Anti-Tank teams ( 2 x Spike MR & 2 x AT-4). Each MECHINF platoon in A COY thus has 4x LMG teams and 2x Anti-Tank teams plus a medicteam, and are all considered Elite. Rules of Engagement. NOTHING IN THESE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT LIMITS YOUR RIGHT TO TAKE APPROPIATE ACTION TO DEFEND YOURSELF AND YOUR UNIT. A. You have the right to use force to proactively engage any and all ENY targets of opportunity. B.

All Laws of War are to be observed. II. Mission Taskforce Tigre attacks to destroy enemy defenders between PL HAMMER and PL ANVIL to expand the NATO controlled area head and allow friendly forces to continue offensive operations further North. III. Execution Concept of the Operation Alpha Company and with 2 PLT´s from Bravo Company in tactical reserve, will continue to expand our Area of Control and clear Enemy armor, mechanized units and infantry from and around OBJ OMEGA; this will create a defence in depth for our forces and enable the remaining forces to follow up and expand our zones of control. The Taskforce will attack from the SOUTH and towards NORTHWEST, setting an attack by fire from PL HAMMER, and use own assets to clear OBJ OMEGA. Commanders Intent Purpose - The purpose of this operation is to clear the Enemy forces and defeat their will to fight in this AO. Key Tasks 1.

Background: Following increasing tensions around the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Mellilla controlled by Spain in Northern Africa, driven in part by the European Migrant crisis , then Spain has felt forced to increase their military presence in the areas combined with a stronger naval presence off the coast. This has not gone over well with The North African nations in general and Morocco in particular. No one really knew what happened, but Spanish soldiers got into a firefight, after which it was demanded by Morocco backed by other North African nations that they vacated the areas. Which Spain naturally have rejected. From there things went even worse and war has now broken out without a formal declaration of war. Spanish soldiers are now in combat with a combined army of North African origin, which have tried and so far failed in overrunning the Spanish areas. (NO political BS please.

Enemy forces are at least one Mechnized BN + support assets. Name fire support and EW units. SIGINT suggests that enemy anti-air units are also deployed in the area to deny own air support and UAV surveilance. Enemy militias are also in strenght of a light infantry BN (lower quality troops) Probable enemy intent is to take and hold terrain IOT strengthen their negotiation position. OWN HQ oft he UN forces currently have very limited information on the situation. Contact to own observer teams has been lost. The government forces in the area have either been routed or destroyed. The only Forces available in the area is the the Mixed Spanish Recon BN. 1 British tank Rgt supported by the Fire Support BN are on the way (ETA 60 minutes) 2 Mission: Spanish Recon BN will conduct recoinecance oft he area IOT enable a british counterattack on the enemy BTG Tasks: HQ needs to know: 1.
