    Operation Spite Pt.4

    Execute: 09/27/2025

    Task Organization: 10RR

    Subsets: NEPTUNE, TF APOLLO

    1. Situation
      1. Area of Interest - AO Iridium
        1. Terrain Saint Kapaulio
          1. Obstacles & Fields of Fire. Saint Kapaulio is composed of numerous large and flat forests, with scattered steep hills. Forests are a mix of dense and sparse, with most areas being extremely open for ground movement. 
          2. Avenues of Approach. Multiple dirt roads run between small villages, and paved MSRs connect main population areas.
          3. Key Terrain. Elevated areas and urban centers dominate the surrounding area.
          4. Cover and Concealment. Key terrain features provide easy cover, and forests facilitate the concealment of troop movements.
        2. Weather. Hot and Humid
        3. Time and Light Conditions. Commanders Intent

    1. Enemy Forces. 
      1. 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.
      2. 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.
      3. 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.
      4. Expected Course of Action. Enemies are likely to defend their positions and inflict maximum damage on Allied Forces before retreating to other positions.
    2. Friendly Forces
      1. Higher Units. N/A
      2. Adjacent Units. N/A
      3. Supporting Units. N/A
    3. Civilian Considerations. Civilians are to be expected in urban areas.
    4. Attachments/Detachments.  N/A
    5.  Mission. 

    The 10th Ranger Regiment will be acting on intel gathered 21SEP, detailing a dirty bomb built by the Saint Kapaulio Cartel. The bomb poses no chemical threat unless it is detonated. The bomb was suspected to have departed from a large SKC base at around 2230LT on 26SEP, travelling towards the city of Bonga; however, the final stop of the bomb is unknown. Three total convoys were spotted splitting off from each other and travelling to different parts of the city, each designated its own POI. 

    POI001 is an SKC base in active production, with walls and fortifications built, but the main building left unfinished. The convoy travelling to POI001 contained mainly enemy troops but is suspected to have the bomb inside a truck in preparation to be deployed and detonated.

    POI002 is a hospital in the center of the city. The convoy that arrived to the POI contained mostly CBRN-equipped hostiles, spotted carrying medical supplies into the hospital. The region recently declared a Zika outbreak, so troops in the area may simply be conducting humanitarian aid.

    POI003 is an office complex and military storage facility capable of housing the dirty bomb. The convoy that arrived at the POI contained multiple covered trucks, with troops spotted unloading unlabeled wooden boxes.

    Additionally, a convoy containing sick and injured detained rebel forces from the takeover of the island is scheduled to arrive at the hospital from the South. Due to the potential presence of the dirty bomb, the 10th Ranger Regiment has been tasked with rescuing the detained rebels before they reach the city.

      1. 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.
