From: Chernarus Coastal Operations Group
Subject: Weekly Summary of Combat Operations, from June 12th to June 18th, Inclusive.

Message begins:

The tempo of combat operations continued at a decreased pace.

Chernarus Defense Forces, Air Forces and Naval Forces have engaged in five separate operations against rebel forces in five regions.

1) In Rosche on Friday morning a task force gathered from 4th Bn Chernarus 10th Separate Tank Brigade was ordered to Rassau on information that rebel forces would attempt to take the town from the march with a large armored and motorized force.

The task force held the town successfully and overall, casualties were light. One of the reinforcing BTR squads lost eight and its BTR, and was folded into the other reinforcing BTR squad. One SU-25 ground interdiction fighter was shot down.

Reports from the field are that rebel forces lost two or three T-55s, three BRDM scout cars, three light technicals and one T-34 tank. A BMP was successfully disabled by air attacks. Brigade recon staff said this was a hard and damaging blow to rebel forces.

The task force successfully retreated from Rassau in good order.

2) On Saturday evening, a task group from 1st Bn Chernarus 13 Separate Mountain Motorized Rifle Brigade was sent to Kozan in Gunkizli to eliminate two rebel operatives, Oleg Noskov and Danijela Ristic, who had led a rebel force to take over the town.

Both were planning to round up and execute some civilians who had previously resisted providing monetary tribute and material assistance to rebel forces.

The mission was successful. Noskov and Ristic were eliminated, and documents were seized from the person of Ristic.  Intelligence gathered showed rebels are having problems keeping their troops in line because of the lack of pay and food.

Casualties were extremely light with command squad and 2nd squad each losing one. The force was withdrawn from Kozan in good order.

3) Also on Saturday evening a Chernarus private contractor special forces team was sent to Kelkkaniemi in Virolahti to eliminate two rebel operatives who had taken over the town and were holding prisoners

Using the cover of two USMC F-35Bs, the team landed by Zodiac boat and then penetrated the rebels' defenses, located and eliminated the operatives.  

Three prisoners were rescued, but one of them was too severely wounded to move. As the team medic was providing first aid, a rebel rifleman, quietly holed up in a adjacent room, killed the team medic. The commander then eliminated the rifleman.

The remaining two prisoners were escorted to an awaiting motorboat.  The remainder of the team returned to ship safely.

Documents seized in the raid indicated the rebels expect reinforcements in southern Virolahti soon.

4) On Monday night a task force from 1st Bn 33rd Separate Mountain Motorized Rifle Brigade was sent to Olszanka in Livonia to find and eliminate two rebel operatives, Ferid Murad and Ersela Coba.

The rebel force had entered Olszanka the morning before and, with the help of a large mixed force of technicals and light infantry, were terrorizing the townspeople with arbitrary arrests and summary executions.

Both operatives were eliminated and documents were found on the person of Coba which showed rebel forces were preparing to become active in this region.

The raid was abandoned when the commander ran into a heavy machine gun technical.

5) On Thursday, a task force from 2nd Bn Chernarus 17th Separate Light Infantry Brigade was assigned the task of attacking the town of Sevastianovo in Beketov. 

Two rebel operatives, Ruslan Kravchuck and Jelena Stajic has invaded the town that morning and were using the troops under their command to terrorize the townspeople. Battalion recon staff discovered the attack via cell phone and email communications.

The task force's orders were to find and eliminate Kravchuck and Stajoc and retake control of the town

Air support for the operation did the most damage with three supply trucks and an unknown number of technicals destroyed by airstrikes.

The task force failed to capture Sevastianovo when the commander was killed. Command squad took the brunt of the casualties with eight, including the commander.
