Central Chernarus
Situation

Two years ago, as a result of an internal power struggle, Chernarus was thrown into a war between the Western aligned Chernarus Defence Force (CDF) and the Russian backed Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star (ChDKZ).

Following a month of intense frontline fighting, your (CDF) mechanized platoon managed to break through the enemy lines and your objective, the ChDKZ airfield, is finally within reach.


Mission Briefing

You are currently on the MSR, at Rally Point Serpent. Commander's intent is for your platoon to move out at dawn and capture Metsala Airfield before lunch. Afterwards, you will focus your efforts on holding the airfield and securing the area around it. The operation is split in two phases. In phase one, you will advance up the MSR to eliminate the enemy garrison at Korvenoja and the SAM system there. Then, you will move East and take over the airfield, marking the end of Phase One. Bear in mind, there will be no resupply, repair or CAS during the first phase, so pack well and approach with caution.

In Phase Two you will advance up the MSR, securing key enemy positions. around Ruha and Latvamuilu. If the situation demands it, you will also act as a QRF. In this phase you are able to call in airborne resupply and CAS as long as the airfield is not under attack.

Threat Report

Intel suggests you will face ChDKZ regulars, backed up by mechanized elements arriving from further inland. While the enemy holds the airfield you can expect airborne reinforcements. As far as we know, there are no attack aircraft present. HUMINT reports small fortifications spread along the MSR and hidden in the forests, move with caution


Objectives
  • Secure Korvenoja

Our scouts report a significant enemy presence at Korvenoja. If we were to attack the airfield directly, they would pose a threat to our plans. As such, HQ has decided to assault the garrison first.  Our recon team reported campfires near hill 35 and fortifications by the MSR, closer to Virpimaki. The SAM system was spotted in a farm near the centre of town. Eliminate the enemy garrison and destroy the SAM.

  • Capture the airfield

When you are done with Korvenoja, you will move East and assault the airfield. The objective is surrounded by forests, which you can use to your advantage to move in close, but do keep in mind that enemy QRFs can do the same. The airfield is considered ours once we control the ATC, the barracks and the hangars. HQ wants the place intact, so limit your destruction.

  • Clear enemy emplacements

Once the airfield is secure you will move towards Latvamuilu-Ruha and execute a combat patrol in the area. You will look for enemy positions or patrols, make contact with them and eliminate them. INTEL has uncovered some locations, the rest you will have to find yourselves. Do as much damage while limiting your own losses, then RTB.
