CPX SCENARIO ROAD TO CONFLICT STORY LINE Five years ago in Pärnu County, the large Southland population segment created instability due to an increased state tax. Over the last 4 years, Southland has increasingly discredited Vironia concerning its internal policies oppressing minorities. Within the last year, elements of the Southland information campaign threatening use of military force to intervene. Currently, political dialogue has ceased and Southland has prepared forces to the South of the Vironian boarder. Vironian Defence Forces MN BDE and Coalition Stryker BCT conduct joint exercise in Tapa area as a conflict deterrence measure. Opposing Rapid Reaction forces are assembled near the borders of Vironia. The use of military force by Southland, under the name of a peace-keeping mission to protect the rights of their minority in Vironia, seems imminent. Vironian MN BDE and Stryker BCT stopped the exercise and have received orders to stage in proximity to the operations area. MAIN EVENTS 1 Nov 2011, SIMM (South Independence Mass Movement) organized a large demonstration in Pärnu. Ill-equippedVironian police responded, killing 1 demonstrator and injuring dozens while dispersing the crowds. The Regional press coverage sharply criticized the excessive use of force. Dec 2011, SIMM key leader arrested for organizing November protest. Jan 2012, Southland’s national day celebrations, demands the release of SIMM leader, threatening violence in Viljandi. Mar 2012, gunman attacks MOD in Tallinn, two officials wounded. DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE
Brigade Training Objectives • Conduct the Military Decision Making Process(MDMP) in order to plan and execute comprehensive and decisive operations in support of the Brigade Commander’s intent. • Conduct command post operations in order to maintain command and control at all echelons • Conduct a BDE defense in order to secure key terrain, population, and resources against a Hybrid Threat in order to set conditions for the transition to offensive operations . Integrate synchronizing Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), BDE level fires, attack and assault aviation to defend in depth. Employ deep strike capabilities/assets to disrupt the enemy in depth along their avenues of approach before reaching the BDE’s main defensive belt. • Conduct a BDE attack, integrating and synchronizing ISR, BDE level fires, attack and assault aviation, combined with mechanized forces against a Hybrid Threat in order to seize and retain key terrain, population, and/or infrastructure • Conduct an Air Assault centered around one Infantry Battalion Task Force in order to seize and retain key terrain and/or resources until proper battle hand over to follow-on forces • Conduct active Cyber defense operations in order to protect BDE network infrastructure and maintain command and control capability
