HEADQUARTERS, 1ST ARMY CORPS
AFTER ACTION REPORT (AAR)
Operations: OP2505-30-5 & OP2506-30-6
Unit: 1st Battalion, Chernarus 4th Separate Light Mountain Rifle Brigade
Date: 8 June 2025
Author: Colonel Aleksandr Bogomolov, Deputy Chief of Staff, 1st Army Corps
Classification: SECRET
I. SITUATION
A. Enemy Forces:
Separatist elements, reinforced by a detachment of highly trained Wagner Group mercenaries, occupied Shakhovka village. Intelligence indicated a pattern of using mercenaries for targeted civilian deportations. Enemy preparations included pre-registered defensive artillery fires. Subsequent to OP2505-30-5, a large, well-led mixed infantry-mechanized group (assessed as newly recruited/assembled forces) advanced south toward "The Factory" enclave.
B. Friendly Forces:
1st Battalion, 4th Separate Light Mountain Rifle Brigade (Task Force), organized into Command Squad and Rifle Squads 2–4. Follow-on operations involved 1st Battalion, 19th Separate Mechanized Cavalry Regiment.
C. Civilian Considerations:
Shakhovka’s population faced imminent threat of deportation/elimination. "The Factory" enclave was sparsely populated but strategically contested.
II. MISSION
OP2505-30-5: Retake Shakhovka from separatist/mercenary forces, neutralize high-value targets (HVTs), and secure actionable intelligence.
OP2506-30-6: Defend "The Factory" against a major separatist counterattack.
III. EXECUTION
OP2505-30-5: SHASHOVKA CLEARANCE (D+0)
A. Concept of Operations:
A two-pronged assault bypassing enemy artillery impact zones:
Main Effort: Command Squad & 4th Squad attacked SW through dense forest.
Supporting Effort: 2nd & 3rd Squads maneuvered SE.
B. Key Actions:
Approach: Squads successfully navigated around artillery kill zones with minimal attrition.
Engagement:
Command/4th Squads eliminated separatist levies and Wagner operators SW of the village.
2nd/3rd Squads suppressed flanking positions.
HVT Elimination:
3rd Squad tasked with locating/neutralizing four Wagner mercenaries – mission accomplished.
Task Force Commander personally engaged and eliminated two civilian criminal command operatives and their security detail.
Exploitation:
Village secured by 1120 hrs.
Critical documents seized:
Civilian "elimination list" (32 names).
Separatist remote server access data (IPs, credentials, operational servers).
OP2506-30-6: DEFENSE OF THE FACTORY (D+1)
A. Intelligence Alert:
Early D+1 warning of large mechanized-infantry force advancing south toward "The Factory" via HUMINT and signals intercepts.
B. Defensive Actions:
Battalion established hasty defensive perimeter.
Repelled coordinated, high-intensity assaults by estimated company(+) element.
Outcome: Enemy attack repulsed with significant hostile casualties.
Friendly Losses: Heavy infantry casualties sustained.
C. Follow-On Order:
Despite losses, 1st Battalion, 19th Mechanized Cavalry Regiment ordered to conduct clearing ops in Shakhovka periphery.
IV. INTELLIGENCE GAINS
Documentation: Civilian target lists confirm systematic terror campaign. Server data enables cyber counter-operations.
Enemy Composition: Wagner involvement validates external backing of separatists. "Fresh" troops at The Factory indicate accelerated recruitment/training pipelines.
Tactics: Separatist reliance on pre-sighted artillery and mercenary-led purge operations confirmed.
V. ASSESSMENT
A. Successes:
OP2505-30-5: Swift, precise execution. HVTs eliminated, critical intel captured with zero civilian casualties.
OP2506-30-6: Successful defense against superior force preserved key terrain.
Intelligence: Server data represents significant strategic windfall.
B. Shortfalls:
Delayed exploitation of intel warning for The Factory defense.
High friendly losses necessitate accelerated reinforcement/reconstitution.
C. Enemy Performance:
Wagner elements: Professionally competent but neutralized by superior maneuver.
Separatist recruits: Aggressive but undisciplined under sustained fire.
VI. RECOMMENDATIONS
Immediate:
Exploit captured server data for counter-intelligence ops.
Prioritize protection of civilians on seized elimination lists.
Tactical:
Enhance artillery counter-preparation drills for light infantry.
Review early-warning protocols between intel and maneuver elements.
Personnel:
Accelerate replacement flow to 4th Light Mountain Brigade.
Decorate 3rd Squad (1/4th LMRB) for exceptional performance in HVT elimination.
