___OPERATIONS ORDER

1.__SITUATION:
The Warsaw Pact has renewed their offensive against NATO. Soviet and Czechoslovakian forces are expected to be working together in this theater of operations. Directly to your front, contact has been lost with the Regimental Recon force. Their last communications indicated they were under heavy attack from French forces, then all radio transmissions ceased just before midnight. We are sure that these French forces are continuing their advance to the North to blunt the Regiments attack. All fixed wing aircraft are currently involved in achieving air superiority and are not expected to be in a position to provide ground support for your mission. The Regimental Commander has allocated 2 Battery's (12 tubes) of 122mm Artillery to your command and your Battalion FO will have priority of fire from these units.

__a. Enemy Forces:
Intelligence estimates that you will be facing the leading elements of the French Expeditionary Force. These forces can be expected to probe your positions looking to exploit any holes in they can find in the Cachrov area as well as pin your Battalion down so that the rest of their force can bypass your positions and hit the Regiment in the flank. Expected units will most likely be Motorized Infantry supported by Tanks and Artillery. Enemy Anti-Tank Teams should be flagged as priority targets as they are serious threat to the continued mobility of your forces.

__b. Friendly Forces:
3rd MRB (BTR) Reinforced, 146th MRR, 48th MRD

__c. Attachments/Detachments:
2x Med Artillery Battery (122mm D-74 FG) x12 tubes

2.__MISSION:
On your right flank, concentrate on the recon, clearing and occupation of the village of Brezi. Once secured push forward and recon the villages of Cachrov and Brodne. On the left flank, set up defensive positions along the Ostrunza River and once established, push a small force forward to secure the village of Zahradka. Maintain a continuous front line without any gaps that may allow the enemy to slip through and attack your rear areas.

3.__EXECUTION:
3rd MRB (BTR) will advance into the Cachrov sector and establish defensive positions. Once these have been established, probe further to the South to engage and defeat the leading enemy forces. No Air support is available at this time.

4.__SERVICE SUPPORT:
Refuel and rearming will be conducted once the mission is declared complete.

5.__COMMAND AND SIGNAL:
As Commander of 3rd Battalion, you are in charge of the operation. Radio silence should be observed at all times.
