Obstacles & Fields of Fire. Drakovac consists of open farmland, rolling ground, and dense forests that create alternating long and broken fields of fire. Open areas support medium to long-range engagements, while wooded ridges, rivers, and terrain folds limit visibility and slow vehicle movement without fully blocking it.
Avenues of Approach. Movement is generally flexible, with roads providing the fastest and safest routes between towns. Secondary roads, open fields, and forest corridors allow flanking and infiltration, while bridges and junctions act as natural chokepoints.
Key Terrain. Key terrain is defined by relative elevation and control of movement corridors rather than extreme high ground. Low ridges, forest edges, towns, and isolated compounds overlooking roads or crossings provide effective overwatch and dominate nearby approaches.
Cover and Concealment. Cover is limited outside built-up areas, with infantry relying on vegetation and micro-terrain in open ground. Forests provide concealment, urban areas offer the best hard cover, and vehicles must use hull-down positions and avoid exposure in open fields.

Enemy Forces.
Size. Enemy forces are dispersed but organized into locally raised militia units operating under a coordinated command structure. Manpower density remains high in population centers, key terrain, and along major routes, with the ability to rapidly mobilize trained personnel.
Capabilities. Enemy units field a mixed but serviceable inventory of small arms, including AK-pattern rifles, Sten guns, AR-18s, M16s, FALs, and M1/M2 Carbines, supported by vehicle-mounted M2 .50 caliber and DShKM heavy machine guns. The force has limited access to heavy armor and indirect fire assets, employed in small numbers and localized engagements rather than massed formations. Mobility relies on civilian vehicles, small boats, and limited rotary-wing capability, with minimal and non-integrated air defense.
Recent Activity. Enemy forces have engaged in frequent low- to mid-intensity skirmishes with the Estonian Defense Force, demonstrating coordinated unit-level maneuver and effective local intelligence, resulting in incremental territorial gains and consolidation of key terrain.
Expected Course of Action. Enemies are likely to defend their positions and inflict maximum damage on Allied Forces before retreating to other positions.

Mission.
Following their success in the Korsac region, the 10th Ranger Regiment was deployed to Drakovac to assist stranded Estonian troops in the region. Upon their arrival, the local commander informed the unit of an impending attack from the Republic forces.
The 10th Ranger Regiment has been tasked with fending off the attack, repelling enemy forces, and then sweeping the island to clear the area of Republic outposts and strongholds. Multiple POIs have been marked as occupied strongholds and areas of importance.
POI001 is a forward observation post just north of enemy lines. The area contains multiple C2 posts and radio towers transmitting to sustainment elements.
POI002 is the townships of Podkujni and Smokve. The area is being used as forward sustainment and troop barracks, with enemy troops occupying the whole area. An additional outpost and old Soviet Radar lies to the east, occupied by Republic forces.
POI003 is a small military base on the northern sector of the island occupied by enemy troops. Multiple Estonian Military vehicles that were captured were spotted in the base being reoutfitted and repainted to be used by enemy forces. The small township of Krivenje lies to the north of the base, occupied by Republic forces as barracks and being used for troop sustainment and reinforcement arrival by water to the northeast.
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.
