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 The force was withdrawn from Kozan in good order.

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.
