The tempo of combat operations continued at an increased pace.
Chernarus Defense Forces, Air Forces and Naval Forces have engaged in four separate operations against rebel forces in three regions.
1) In Hanstedt in Rosche Friday night a task force formed from 4th Bn, Chernarus 10th Separate Tank Brigade was ordered to oversee the evacuation of 24 civilians aboard two military trucks.
Many of the civilians had been receiving texts from anonymous soures posing as rebel commanders and operatives, offering inducements as well as threats to assist rebel forces in varying capacities. The town mayor asked 10th Tank Brigade commander to assist him in evacuating the civilians.
The operation was successful. Losses were moderate. Command squad lost two, while 2nd squad lost three. 3rd Squad lost four and their BTR. A CDF tank was destroyed after engaging a rebel BTR-80A.
2) 4th Bn, Chernarus 10th Separate Tank Brigade reacted to a warning ordered issued by the brigade commander that rebel forces were headed to Molbath with a substantial mobile force.
The task force assembled entered Molbath before the rebel force arrived.
The mission was successful, but the costs were heavy. The task force lost three tanks, two to traffic accidents, and one to enemy action. Command squad lost two (including the commander to a sniper shot), 2nd and 3rd squads each lost three. One of the reinforcing BTR squads lost its BTR and six effectives, while the other lost none.
One CDF BRDM scout car was destroyed and rebel forces shot down both SU-25 ground interdiction fighters flying cover.
Reports from the field are that the rebels lost one T-34/85 and one T-55 tanks. No fewer than three BMPs were destroyed by ground forces and by airstrikes. Command squad itself destroyed one BRDM and one BMP, as well as two technicals.
3) Monday night a task force from 2nd Bn, 17th Separate Light Rifle Brigade attacked a rebel outpost after brigade recon staff received information that two rebel operatives, Yevginiy Samarchenco and Anna Kvitko has taken the town of Sevastianovo in Beketov along with a large, armed mobile force.
Samarchecko had been threatening the town leadership and residents with violence if they refused to give over tribute, and a list of individuals the rebels wanted to try and execute.
The operation failed when the commander was killed by a Russian MVD team leader/operator, part of a team tasked with protecting Samarchecko.
