OPERATION ORDER 17-01 (ATROPIAN STABILIZATION) – 52ID (U)

(U) Time Zone Used Throughout the OPORD: Local (unless otherwise stated).

(U) Task Organization: Annex A (Task Organization) (U).

1. (U) Situation.

a. (U) Area of Interest. The 52ID Area of Interest (AI) is the following countries in their entirety, ATROPIA, ARIANA, ARTZAK, GORGAS and the Southern portions of DONOVIA. Notably the AI contains portions of two Geographic Combatant Commander Areas of Responsibility (AOR), U.S. European Command (USEUCOM) and U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM). Ariana lies within the USCENTCOM AOR; the entire Caspian Sea and the country of Atropia lie within the USEUCOM AOR.

b. (U) Area of Operations. The 52ID Area of Operations (AO) is AO SHIELD. AO SHIELD includes AO PULLER, AO HOG, AO BEAR, and AO WOLF. See Appendix 2 (Operation Overlay) to Annex C (Operations) (U) for specific AO SHIELD operational boundaries.

(1) (U) Terrain.

(a) (U) Reference g (U).

(b) (U) Appendix 1 (Intelligence Estimate) to Annex B (Intelligence) (U).

(c) (U) Forested areas and numerous waterways in AO SHIELD restrict and compartmentalize mechanized and motorized maneuver; primary avenues of approach and mobility corridors are limited to established roadways.

(d) (U) Creeks and rivers are the only natural terrain features in AO SHIELD restricting foot movement. Precipitation of less than one-half inch in a 24-hour period may limit vehicular movement, but will not hinder cross-country movement or operations of dismounted forces except in low drainage areas. Rainfall in the one to four inch range in a 24-hour period will cause a significant flash flood hazard in low-lying areas.

(e) (U) The forested areas, rolling terrain, and urban centers in AO SHIELD limit the use of electronic warfare equipment in locating electronic emitters, limit long-range observation and fields of fire, and degrade illumination necessary for weapon systems to effectively acquire and engage targets.

(f) (U) Terrain compartmentalization does not support undetected battalion or higher consolidation of forces.

(2) (U) Weather.

UNCLASSIFIED


(1) (U) Islamic Republic of Ariana (Ariana or IRA). Ariana armed forces present a conventional and special operations force military threat to the Republic of Atropia (ROA). Ariana armed forces are a Tier 2 capable armed force with limited Tier 1 chemical, air defense, and armor capabilities.

(a) (U) Islamic Republic of Ariana (IRA) military forces commenced a series of large scale, joint and combined arms, offensive oriented training exercises 15 March 2017 near the international border (IB) with the Republic of Atropia. Each of these exercises lasted two to three weeks in duration. The result of these exercises caused the ROA Armed Forces to remain on a high state of alert which affected unit readiness and reduced the effectiveness of ROA counterinsurgency operations. On 3 June 2017, IRA forces initiated a large-scale operation under the guise of a recurring training exercise that was in fact preliminary posturing for an invasion of Atropia. On 14 July 2017, IRA military forces invaded Atropia. After a 90-day campaign, US and Atropian military forces defeated the IRA military forces and pushed them back across the legitimate and Internationally recognized border. Despite their recent defeat at the hands of coalition forces the IRA is conducting effective logistical resupply of most if not all of the insurgent groups in the AO. Means of resupply is by ground through existing smuggling routes and LOCs from outside the AO, provably from within the Islamic Republic of Ariana but with increasing indicators of resupply lines utilizing criminal elements in all neighboring countries. Ultimate goal is overthrow of legitimate government of Atropia. IRA political goal is to decapitate Atropian instruments of national power and replace leaders with ethnic Arianans and others sympathetic to Arianan causes. IRA provides direct financial and material support to South Atropian People’s Army (SAPA) and IRA is ideologically consistent with SAPA.

(2) (U) South Atropian People’s Army (SAPA). The SAPA consists of ethnic Persians identifying culturally and religiously with Ariana. Their goal is an independent ethnic Persian state in western and central Atropia. When operating in an insurgent role, they organize primarily as multi-function or specialty cells. When massing to conduct large offensive operations, they can assemble 50-75 fighters within a 24-hour period. Depending on population support in a given area SAPA can mass up to 125 fighters within 96 hours. SAPA’s efforts to forcefully gain ground and influence large sections of several southwestern and west-central Atropian provinces have been successful, creating pockets of denied territory and strongpoints throughout the region. See Annex B (Intelligence) (U) and Appendix 1 (Intelligence Estimate) to Annex B (Intelligence) (U) for definition and analysis of these areas. SAPA is dependent on logistical resupply from IRA. Means of resupply is by ground through existing smuggling routes and LOCs from outside the AO, mainly from within the Islamic Republic of Ariana but with increasing indicators of resupply lines utilizing criminal elements in all neighboring countries. Ultimate goal is fill power vacuum following overthrow of legitimate government of Atropia. SAPA is client of IRA and receives direct financial and material support from IRA.

(a) (U) SAPA forces, although defeated, are still a tactical threat to U.S. Forces operating in Atropia. The President of the United States (POTUS) has declared SAPA forces hostile, having developed sufficient organization, leadership, resources, popular support, and logistics infrastructure to conduct organized operations against the Atropian government.

(b) (U) IRA SPF will continue to provide SAPA elements logistics, training, communications, and tactical advisory support. Emerging indicators show IRA SPF assistance with SAPA maintenance and sustainment of captured Atropian equipment.

(f) (U) Annex B (Intelligence) (U) and Appendix 1 (Intelligence Estimate) to Annex B (Intelligence) (U) provide detailed composition, disposition, and strength information for SAPA’s committed forces operating in AO SHIELD.

(3) (U) Sadvol. Sadvol is a political organization, with an armed security wing, composed of ethnic Atropian nationalists seeking regime change. It is focused on overt political action to influence like-minded Atropians that they can govern more fairly, honestly, and effectively than the Ismailov autocracy. Savdol is dependent on logistical resupply from IRA. Means of resupply is by ground through existing smuggling routes and LOCs from outside the AO, mainly from within the Islamic Republic of Ariana but due to ideological convictions does not deal with criminal elements. Ultimate goal is fill power vacuum following overthrow of legitimate government of Atropia. Savdol sees itself as a moral and legitimate replacement of the current autocracy. Friction is likely to develop between Savdol and Faqih/GMB due to the extreme methods of operating endorsed by their Salafist theo-ideology.

(a) (U) Sadvol political operations within AO SHIELD are normally limited to small scale information warfare (INFOWAR) activities and other actions by multi-functional cells to garner popular support within select urban population centers. Recent operations within AO SHIELD have centered on influencing the major population centers of FLORIEN (15RVQ5678), DARA LAM (15RWQ035415), DERIDDER, LEESVILLE, OAKDALE (15RWQ3209), and SANGARI.

(b) (U) Estimated Sadvol strength within AO SHIELD ranges between 100 – 200 personnel. The Sadvol armed wing operates in cells ranging in size from 3 - 30 personnel armed with small arms, light machine guns, commercial explosives, and rocket-propelled grenades (RPG). It is primarily a security force and is not likely to pose a direct threat to U.S. operations, unless provoked.

(4) (U) Faqih and Godly Martyrs Brigade (Faqih/GMB).

(a) (U) Faqih - Jihadist following a Salafist theo-ideology. They seek to establish a Caucasus Emirate/Caliphate.

Primarily they are engaged in irregular warfare (IW), assassinations, kidnappings, and limited direct action attacks against Atropian Security Forces and government officials throughout Atropia. Their recent actions inside AO SHIELD focus on influencing the major population centers of ANACOCO (15RVQ6757), DARA LAM, DERIDDER, DEQUINCY (15RVP5868), GARDNER (15RWQ2959), LEESVILLE, MANY (15RVQ5492), OAKDALE and SANGARI. Cells are active at these locations and range in size from 3 to 30 personnel. Faqih's primary weapons and weapons systems include small arms, light machine guns, IED/VBIED, and rocket-propelled grenades (RPG).

UNCLASSIFIED


(b) (U) Godly Martyrs' Brigade (GMB) - Jihadist following a Salafist theo-ideology. They support Faqih goals and efforts by providing a suicide capability. The GMB is engaged in an ongoing campaign of spectacular attacks against Atropian Security Forces and government officials throughout Atropia. Their targeting of critical hydrocarbon, electrical, and transportation infrastructure throughout AO SHIELD has escalated in recent months. GMB cells are collocated with each Faqih cell. GMB cells range in size from 3 to 9 personnel. GMB's primary weapons and weapons systems include small arms, light machine guns, SVEST/SVBIED, and rocket-propelled grenades (RPG).

(c) (U) Faqih/GMB are engaged in irregular warfare (IW) operations, assassinations, and spectacular attacks against U.S. and Atropian military forces, Atropian police forces, and government officials throughout AO SHIELD. Faqih/GMB are dependent on logistical resupply from IRA but have developed advanced and redundant resupply means using criminal networks. Means of resupply is by ground through existing smuggling routes and LOCs from outside the AO, mainly from within the Islamic Republic of Ariana. Ultimate goal is to enable the overthrow of the legitimate government of Atropia. Faqih/GMB sees itself as a means to rid Atropia of the corrupt and immoral Atropian government. Friction is most likely to develop between Faqih/GMB and Savdol due to the extreme methods of operating endorsed by Faqih/GMB.

(d) (U) Estimated Faqih/ GMB strength within AO SHIELD is between 100 - 250 personnel.

(e) (U) Annex B (Intelligence) (U) and Appendix 1 (Intelligence Estimate) to Annex B (Intelligence) (U) provide detailed composition, disposition, and strength information for Faqih/GMB forces in AO SHIELD.

(5) (U) Baqquani Crime Family (BCF).

(a) (U) The BCF is a Transnational Criminal Organization (TCO). The BCF seeks to expand operations, control bases of operations in lightly or uncontested areas, and influence political outcomes. BCF gangs actively provide insurgent and terrorist groups operating in AO SHIELD with military grade arms, explosives, ammunition, and materials to include precursor chemicals like methylphosphonyl diflouride (CH3POF2). Recent reports indicate BCF gangs are operating in AO SHIELD at or near DARA LAM, DERIDDER, GARDNER, KINDER (15RWP1472), LEESVILLE, OAKDALE, OBERLIN (15RWP2287), SHKIN (15RWQ094356), and UNION HILL (15RWQ2529).
