Key Terrain. Elevated areas and urban centers dominate the surrounding area.
Cover and Concealment. Key terrain features make for easy cover, and forests make way for concealment of troop movements.

Enemy Forces.
Size. Enemy elements include heavily armed troops from the Saint Kapaulio Cartel. Forces have built up and been recruited over time, but the total size is unknown.
Capabilities. Enemy weaponry includes mostly FN systems. Vehicles include ex-Spanish Humvees with mounted M2s, M113s, and weaponized civilian vehicles, but their access to heavy armor is sparse. The enemy has access to a variety of attack helicopters, including CH-146s and Mi-29s.
Recent Activity. The enemy has been well-prepared for an attack for multiple months. Recent attacks have spurred an increase in garrisoned forces and outer patrols. Helicopters have also been spotted searching areas near important locations.
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 successful operations conducted by the 10th Ranger Regiment on SKC areas, an extensive amount of anti-air vehicles and shipments have been moved east to combat the airborne tactics used by BLUFOR troops. ISR and SATCOM has tracked all moving shipments to two different locations (POI001/2).
POI001 is an ammunition factory that has recently begun to produce ammunition for AAA equipment. The factory is close to a military storage facility that is assumed to be housing the excess ammunition produced.
POI002 is an SKC military installation housing multiple AAA vehicles intended to be moved into defensive positions. ISR also spotted troops and convoys moving into the small warehouse area to the east of the objective.
The 10th Ranger Regiment has been tasked to conduct search and destroy operations on all anti-air equipment found inside AO Zinc and its POIs.
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 between 100-500 meters.
