Obstacles & Fields of Fire. Dense woodland, marshy lowlands, and uneven terrain restrict visibility to short–medium ranges. Open sightlines are limited to clearings and infrastructure and are often exposed. Elevation offers only localized overwatch.
Avenues of Approach. Movement is constrained by limited roads, wetlands, and forest belts. Vehicles are canalized onto predictable routes vulnerable to ambush. Infantry can move off-road but slowly. Frozen waterways may serve as seasonal routes with risk. Bridges, narrow tracks, and village access points are key chokepoints.
Key Terrain. Critical areas include settlements, road junctions, bridges, and elevated clearings. Control of crossings is decisive. Overwatch positions are limited and localized, making engagements close-range and fragmented.
Cover and Concealment. Concealment is abundant due to vegetation, enabling ambush. True cover is limited outside buildings and prepared positions. Forests mask movement but offer little protection; urban areas provide the most reliable cover. Vehicles must use terrain masking and avoid exposure.
Weather. Cold with possible rain

Enemy Forces.
Size. Zimnitrita forces are structured as a conventional but under-resourced military, organized into light infantry formations with limited mechanized support. Units are concentrated around settlements, key infrastructure, and primary road networks, with repositioning largely tied to these routes and limited off-road flexibility.
Capabilities. Infantry is equipped with legacy Soviet-era systems, including AK-pattern rifles, PKM machine guns, and older body armor. Fire support is primarily dismounted or vehicle-mounted machine guns, with some RPG availability. Mobility relies on unarmored troop transports and technicals, supplemented by a small number of BRDMs. Limited stocks of more modern Russian equipment, such as GAZ Tigr vehicles and a small number of Soviet-era tanks, provide localized increases in protection and firepower. Intel suggests a possibility of stockpiled ZSU-23-4 Shilka systems, which, while originally designed for air defense, can be employed in a ground support role against infantry and light vehicles. Air support is mostly absent, with the military suspected to only stock a small number of Mi-8s, and integrated air defense is minimal outside of such legacy systems.
Recent Activity. Zimnitrita forces have focused on consolidating control over key terrain, establishing defensive positions around settlements, road junctions, and crossings. Patrols along major routes are routine, with increased use of checkpoints and fortified positions to secure lines of communication.
Expected Course of Action. Zimnitrita forces are likely to maintain a defensive posture centered on chokepoints and key terrain. Limited armored assets may support localized counterattacks, but forces will avoid overextension. Expect use of ambushes, defensive strongpoints, and controlled withdrawals to delay advances while preserving combat power and control of critical infrastructure.

Mission.
The 10th Ranger Regiment has been tasked with conducting offensive operations across the island of Zimnitrita following a hostile takeover by the Minister of Defense, Andrius Kazlauskas. Ranger forces will dismantle enemy control, disrupt command and sustainment networks, capture key personnel, and secure the release of the island’s President, President Tomas Vaitkus. Multiple POIs have been identified for targeted raids to locate critical intelligence, logistics sites, and high-value individuals.
POI001 - Truha Military Base. A major installation supporting operations in the Greater Truha area, currently occupied by a sizable force. The base likely functions as a command, staging, and logistics hub, and may contain intelligence on wider island operations.
POI002 - Town of Truha. Urban center and residence of the Regional Governor Mantas Petrauskas. The individual’s home is assessed to be near the town center and may contain sensitive intelligence, communication nodes, or links to higher command elements.
POI003 - Parun. A small settlement along a secondary road, assessed to be temporary housing for key military personnel operating in the region. Likely low-profile but potentially high intelligence value.
POI004 - Vyerhnyaryta. Home to Deputy Minister of Internal Security Darius Žukauskas. The residence is expected toward the rear of the village and may be guarded or fortified. Potential source of operational intelligence and personnel capture.
POI005 - Monastery Complex. An isolated, heavily fortified compound used for covert meetings among regional leadership. Surrounding woodland is likely patrolled. The site is assessed as a critical node for command coordination and may host high-level personnel.
The 10th Ranger Regiment will conduct coordinated raids on all designated POIs to disrupt enemy command and control, degrade logistical capability, and exploit intelligence. Priority objectives include the capture of designated HVIs and the identification of the President’s location. HUMINT and signal intercepts indicate HVIs and potential detainee locations may be distributed across multiple POIs, with increased likelihood at POI001, POI002, and POI005.
Sustainment
Ammunition & Reinsertion will be provided by 160th SOAR assets or via ground ferry. No reinsertions will be brought in via teleportation, except for technical issues.
This operation is projected to have engagement distances less than 200 meters.
