ZELENOGORSK, 2 JUNE 2025 – A classified military warning order obtained by Zelenogorsk Pravda reveals the Chernarus 1st Army Corps is urgently preparing defenses against a major separatist offensive in eastern North Zagoria, expected within the next 48 hours. The document, signed by Major General Yuri Stytskovsky, warns of a reconstituted enemy force poised to strike with fresh troops and supplies.

URGENT TIMELINE FOR DEFENSE

The order, dated today and marked SECRET//NOFORN, directs Colonel Alexey Lushnikov’s 4th Separate Light Mountain Rifle Brigade to fortify positions against an assault "no later than 04 JUN 05:00." Intelligence gaps are critical: separatist counterintelligence has "neutralized local HUMINT networks," leaving precise attack timing and axis unknown.

KEY THREATS & RESPONSES

1. Enemy Reinforcements:

   • Separatists have mobilized a "battalion(+) strength" of "well-supplied, motivated troops" from South Zagoria.

   • New personnel are trained by "experienced NCOs," elevating the threat profile.

2. Brigade’s Critical Tasks:

   • Intelligence Surge (Phase 1): The 1st Battalion is ordered to execute "TOP PRIORITY" intelligence collection through document exploitation and interrogations. Three Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs) dominate:

     • PIR 1: Confirm attack timing (H-Hour/D-Day).

     • PIR 2: Identify main assault axis and units.

     • PIR 3: Re-establish contact with compromised "Volunteer Operatives."

   • Defensive Rush: All units must establish "hasty defenses" along eastern approaches, emplacing obstacles and sighting artillery on logistics routes.

   • Counterattack Force: The 19th Mechanized Cavalry Regiment’s 1st Battalion is alerted as a mobile reserve for rapid response.

3. High-Risk Timelines:

   • FLASH-priority intelligence reports demanded by 03 JUN 12:00 and 18:00.

   • Transition to "deliberate defenses" by 18:00 tomorrow.

   • Brigade Command Post (codenamed AURORA) operational by 04:00 tomorrow.

TACTICAL VULNERABILITIES

• Terrain Focus: Recon elements are intensifying patrols along suspected axes: Krasnostav-Novy Sobor and Gvozdno-Stary Sobor.

• Fire Discipline: Strict Rules of Engagement ("Weapons Tight") ordered to avoid premature engagement.

• Logistical Pressure: Priority ammunition resupply directed to anti-tank and mortar units, with medical evacuation routes pre-cleared.

STAKES

General Stytskovsky’s blunt assessment warns that failure to gather intelligence risks a "blind defense" against a coordinated assault. The document stresses leveraging terrain and pre-planned fires to "deny separatist territorial gains," underscoring the operation’s strategic importance to North Zagoria’s stability.

This leak reveals unprecedented details about Chernarus’ defensive posture amid escalating tensions. The 4th Brigade’s success in the next 48 hours may determine whether the region withstands the coming storm.
