From Chernarus Coastal Operations Group, Dec. 17th, 2019

Chernarus 33rd Separate Mountain Motorized Rifle Brigade has been withdrawn from combat operations in northwestern Chernarus.  The unit has been involved in counter insurgency operations in this region since 2018, but it has been taken into reserve for rest and rearming.

Chernarus 2nd Bn, 4th Separate Light Rifle Brigade will take up operations in this critical region starting immediately. Chernarus air force ground interdiction SU-25s fighters will provide air support for ongoing operations in this sector.

The 2nd Battalion recently concluded an operation in which it ejected rebel forces which has taken over the town of Myshkino.  Casualties for the CDF were mild.

From Chernarus Coastal Operations Group, Dec, 2019

From the Chernarus Coastal Operations Group, Chernarusian Defense Ministry:


The 1st Bn, Chernarus 2nd Separate Naval Infantry Brigade will be withdrawn from operations in northeastern Chernarus.

The brigade has been involved in amphibious operations there since 2017, but now priorities have changed.

The 1st Bn is to be deployed in Virolahti, where the units, in conjunction with the Chernarus Naval Forces ChMSL frigate Sword, the command ship Vesna, and the artillery corvette Marshal Klimenti Voroshilov, will conduct combat operations similar to the ones they have been conducting in northeastern Chernarus since 2017. Its mission remains unchanged: to counter rebel moves and criminal activities in the region.

Combat operations in northeastern Chernarus will be taken over by the Chernarus Defense Forces (CDF) 4th Separate Light Rifle Brigade, near where it has been deployed in Mogilevka in support of combat operations by both naval infantry and army formations, also since 2017.
