ECOA-1 SMF will conduct an assault operations through our AOR IOT secure the area SOUTH from PL IVARS to create favorable conditions for SIMM to declare the area as independent state and block MND-Sentinel CATKs into the area. ENY will attack in 4 axises.15 km in front of each there is COY-size recce unit with task to confirm suitable advancing corridors and identify possible bypass opportunities. Main units are trying to avoid decisive contact IOT maintain their speed of movement. In case of contact a COY-size unit is maximum that is left to deal with it and main body attempts to bypass. On closed terrain INF is used in first echelon; on open terrain units are swapped if available. SAP coy is allocated to WEST flank CA BN and to INF BN moving EAST as a ME. In addition to their organic, both movement directions are supported by additional IDF assets. CAS is used when main body of attacking units are blocked by BN or higher and bypassing is not possible.

SMF will conduct an attack through our AOR IOT secure the area SOUTH from PL IVARS to create favorable conditions for SIMM to declare the area as independent state and block MND-Sentinel CATKs into the area. ENY will attack in 3 axises + flanking from NE. 15 km in front BNs there is COY-size recce unit with task to confirm suitable advancing corridors and identify possible bypass opportunities. Main units are trying to avoid decisive contact IOT maintain their speed of movement. In case of contact a COY-size unit is left to deal with it and main body will look for week spot and fight through or bypass. On closed terrain INF is used in first echelon; on open terrain units are swapped if available. SAP coy is allocated to WEST flank CA BN and to BN moving as a ME. In addition to their organic, all movement directions are supported by additional IDF assets from DIV. CAS is used when main body of attacking units are blocked by BN or higher and bypassing is not possible. Vulnerabilities: Operation timings will probably fail when ground units are stuck in closed terrain and can not occupy OBJ 2 or OBJ 3; Loss of ENG assets.

MND-SENTINEL MISSION • MND SENTINEL defends in sector NLT 170900 JUNE 2012 in order to defeat Southland forces and be prepared to attack in zone to restore the IBL.
MND-SENTINEL CO INTENT • Intent: To rapidly mass combat power in Southern Vironia to prevent Southland forces from penetrating PL RED and establishing an independent SIMM-dominated state. Defend only as long as is necessary to regain the initiative and then rapidly transition into offensive operations to restore the IBL. Use CAS, Army Aviation, and Fires to attrit the enemy within VIRONIA and to set the conditions for a rapid counterattack. Leverage non-lethal fires to maintain information dominance and to force the enemy’s withdrawal to his homeland. Integrate Vironian security forces throughout and quickly transfer control and security operations back to them once the IBL is restored and hostilities have ended. • Endstate: SOUTHLANDIAN forces within VIRONIA are defeated, the IBL is restored, and local control is returned to VIRONIAN security forces.
MNB-V Mission MNB-V will defend to prevent ENY penetration of PL RED NLT 170900 JUNE and be prepared for counterattack to defeat ENY IOT restore IBL.
MNB-V Commander’s Intent Is first to move rapidly into AOR and conduct preparations for hasty defense. In case of ENY´s attack I will initially disrupt ENY (from PL GREEN to PL BLUE) and turn his forces to main defensive area, thereafter I will decisively stop his advance within east part of BDE´s AOR in south of PL RED. Whenever situation favors aggressive action I will regain initiative and defeat ENY with CATK. After IBL is restored the stability operations will commence to re-establish safe and secure environment. • End state: No ENY forces penetrated PL RED, ENY is defeated and IBL is restored. BDE is capable to continue with Stability operations. b. Key tasks: i. Preparation of defense ii. Turn ENY to MDA iii. Stop ENY in SOUTH of PL RED iv. Defeat ENY in MDA.
MNB-V CONOPS • Decisive operation:Decisive to the operation is to block ENY advance by conducting the mobile defense with purpose to create conditions for defeat of ENY offensive operations in MDA. 8th IN (LTU) and 2nd IN (LVA) will block and suppress enemy in EA DAKAR (defence main effort) and EA DUBLIN (defence supporting effort) IOT prevent ENY advance to VILJANDI and create favorable conditions for CATK by 3/2 CAV (US). AT COY (VIR) and 8th IN (LTU) will protect western flank of MDA. • Shaping operation: 1st MECH disrupts and blocks ENY offensive to PÄRNU IOT influence ENY to turn its effort into direction of VILJANDI with purpose of economy of force on one direction and its concentration on the other one. 8th and 2nd IN disrupt in EA CAIRO and EA BERN IOT influence ENY to direct its main effort to EA DAKAR. RECCE COY (VIR) conducts screening operations in its AOR and area MADRID IOT enable situational awareness.
MNB-V SOM This operation will be conducted in four phases: Phase 1: Transition to combat and defense preparations (from receipt of WINGO until 160900BJUN12) MNB-V units will complete battle preparations. BDE and BN-s Recce will move out from AA NLT 151500BJUN12 to conduct recce of defense positions and to establish screen. From 152100BJUN12 units will advance rapidly into designated areas and prepare for defense. This phase is completed! No need for planning.

MNB-V SOM Phase 3: Counterattack. O/O MNB-V will counterattack as MND ME to defeat ENY and restore IBL. Phase 4: Stability ops O/O after IBL is restored MNB-V will secure the IBL and critical infrastructure.
DECEPTION • BN in MNB-V west flank (PÄRNU direction) will execute some preparations openly to force ENY concentrate its ME in to VILJANDI direction. During the battle in PÄRNU direction BN will aggressively disrupt ENY advance to provide picture about heavily defended area impossible to penetrate. • The dummy positions DOG 1-3 will be prepared by LTU BN IOT divert ENY effort from the western flank of MDA and direct it into EA DAKAR. • LV BN will be prepared to conduct FEINT in axis TUNA to divert ENY attention away from main attack in axis PIKE. • To help deception to succeed all units must conduct active counter recce actions to destroy ENY recce units as early as possible.

CONCEPT OF FIRES • Scheme of Fires (AIR) • Phase 1 – SOUTHLANDIAN C2, Logs, artillery and armor SOUTH of PL GREEN (FSCL) • Phase 2 and 3 - 24hr CAS capability with the ability to switch to AI as required. Air Assault operations to secure key LOCs and to facilitate a rapid counterattack, preventing SOUTHLAND forces from establishing a cohesive defence inside VIRONIA • Phase 4 – Air Support assets will switch to provision of armed overwatch and ground alert CAS (GCAS) • FSCM: A FSCL along designated position lines will be set up according to the phase of operation. Initial FCSL is PL GREEN, O/O IBL.
CONCEPT OF AIR DEFENSE • AD BN will detect and defeat ADV low level air attack and surveillance assets and provide early warning in MNB-V AOR during entire operation, IOT ensure MNB-V freedom of manoeuvre and deny ADV to conduct aerial surveillance or air assaults
CONCEPT OF ENG SUPPORT • In PH 1 engineers will support the MNB-V with mobility and survivability measures, IOT enable to occupy hasty defense positions. ME mobility, 8 INFBN. • In PH 2 engineers will support the MNB-V with countermobility and survivability measures, IOT enable to block ENY forces SOUTH of PL RED. ME counter mobility, 8 INFBN. • In PH 3 engineers will support the MNB-V with mobility and countermobility measures, IOT enable MNB-V CATK to defeat ENY in AOR. ME mobility, CATK. • In PH 4 engineers will support the MNB-V with survivability and mobility measures, IOT enable MNB-V to secure IBL and establish SASE in AOR. ME survivability, vic IBL.

CONCEPT OF CIMIC SUPPORT • The protection of civilians will be the main effort for CIMIC activities throughout all phases. All precautions must be taken to avoid collateral damage, in particular to key civil infrastructure such as power, water, health and sanitation facilities. The end state for CIMIC will be met when security, governance and development have returned to an acceptable standard; the civil population is free from both internal and external security threats; the IDPs have been repatriated; and the VIRONIAN government is once again able to provide essential services to its citizens.
