2nd Army Corps Pre-Deployment Report

2nd Army Corps Pre-Deployment Report

Deployment Overview

The 2nd Tank Battalion and 3rd Tank Battalion of the Chernarus 3rd Tank Brigade are preparing for deployment to the standard forward zone deployment in northwestern Chernarus. This deployment will serve as a temporary marshaling point for combat operations in the region. The 3rd Battalion of the Chernarus 20th Separate Mechanized Cavalry Regiment has been moved to a reserve role for emergency use.

Intelligence Summary

Chernarus 2nd Army Corps intelligence indicates that enemy forces are planning to deploy between two and four mixed brigades to the region. These forces are expected to include heavy tracked and light wheeled armor, Russian militia, Russian naval infantry special forces, and Spanish-speaking regulars. Enemy operatives have been training armed civilians for use as combat auxiliaries and engaging in electronic media warfare, criminal activities, and violence to intimidate the local populace.

Terrain Assessment

The region is characterized by large expanses of flat terrain, which will pose significant challenges for friendly forces. Infantry casualties are expected to be high due to the long standoff distances that will be encountered. Additionally, winter weather has already arrived in the region, and up to half of combat operations could be conducted in blizzard conditions.

Force Considerations

The available forces are insufficient to cover the entire frontage of the region, so mobility will be crucial in preventing enemy advances. Friendly forces will need to be agile and adaptable to effectively counter enemy threats in this challenging environment.

Recommendations

Emphasize mobility training and tactics to maximize maneuverability in the open terrain.

Develop contingency plans for operations in blizzard conditions.

Employ reconnaissance and surveillance assets to identify and track enemy movements.

Utilize close air support and indirect fire to suppress enemy positions.

Coordinate closely with Chernarus Coastal Operations Group to ensure a unified response to enemy threats.
