Notice to Air Missions (NOTAMs) & Aviation Advisory Information
A minimum 500m altitude AGL flight zone has been placed over urban areas of Anizay and a no-fly zone directly over the OBJs in response to the recent uptick in airframe losses and to avoid disrupting the rallies. This restriction also applies to reinforcement flights and resupply flights. No other changes from previous phase.
Theater/Strategic-level News & Intelligence Updates, Activity, and Analysis
Following the events of ODD 03-25, 506th HQ has issued renewed and explicit guidance on the Rules of Engagement and refocused on improving rapport with the local civilian populace while still maintaining momentum on current COIN operations. Relations with the IGF have also suffered due to a lack of response from coalition forces to a recent QRF request, resulting in the complete loss of an IGF patrol after being ambushed at the town of Mian. All troops in theatre are once again reminded that the support of civilians and government forces are critical to the success of the deployment as a whole, and further deterioration of relations will drastically affect future operations negatively.
Local/Tactical-level News & Intelligence Updates, Activity, and Analysis
The recent OPFOR defections have led to intelligence breakthroughs regarding the resurgence of insurgent activities in the Anizay Sector and smuggling activities in the Canyons sector to the South-East. Battalion is aiming to tackle both objectives within the next 24 hours, with Task Force Alpha being deployed to Murabat to disrupt smuggling corridoes, while Task Force Charlie is tasked to conduct intelligence-driven raids in Anizay to search & destroy remaining insurgent cells while acting as security for political rallies held by representatives from the Free Sons of Karboul, which is a breakaway reformist faction denouncing religious extremism and seeking political legitimacy among Sunni tribes via non-violent means.
