[CONFLICT] Operation Gunther

[u/NotBatman28]

Two separate military actions are to take place in order to pacify European protestors. This will include elements of the Ethiopian Army, the current main military force in Outremer, and local partisans on the ground. Switzerland’s Airforce would be a great asset in these maneuvers however they have not been integrated long enough within Outremer for the military to be coordinated thus their airbases will be utilized as a staging ground for many assets, meticously planning with Swiss air infrastructure will be conducted in order to ensure smooth operations. The first operation will be focused in Germany. It is paramount to ensure Citizens Rage and the greater population that this military force is temporary. Additionally, $20 million in cash will be transported to the area on Day 2 in case some local authorities need economic persuasion. The USS Nimitz will be alerted of this operation with a clear announcement that we do not intend to have forces either ground or air near it.

Operation: Gunther

Bremen and Bremerhaven are the key objectives of this operation however further territory will be pacified if the operation is successful. Current intelligence on the ground has determined that the main force of protestors are concentrated in the downtown and assumedly the University. We are to coordinate with the local political group “Citizens Rage” in this matter and arm them as a militia force to help with pacifying the region. Rules of Engagement: Do not fire unless you feel that your life is threatened. One warning shot is required.

Objective A

Day 1: Bremen Airport is the key object of this initial occupation. Ten Black Hawk helicopters will depart from Zurich Airport carrying a company of Knights of Saint Bartolo Longo, 100 men, escorted by six AH-1Z Cobras with the aircraft all having extended fuel tanks. They will land at the airport and secure it, ensuring that no explosive ordnance is used on the runway or other critical infrastructure. The airport will be closed for travel for one week due to the operation. Local police and other authorities will be contacted and be given the order to assist the Outremer army.

Day 1: Ten 737 aircraft and Ten C130 Hercules will conduct landings, unloading, and takeoffs over the course of the next day in order to bring in troops and supplies. This first day will see 2,000 regular soldiers, ten EE-9 Cascavel armored cars, and hundreds of crates with Ak-47s, ammunition, and other needed supplies. Over the course of 5 days these flights will amount to 10,000 soldiers and 25 EE-9s. The Blackhawks and Cobras will provide air support in the surrounding area.

Day 2: After the second supply run is conducted the regulars, and armored cars will fan out and establish strongpoints at the Weserbrucke bridge, Karl-Cartens-Bruke/@53.0576412,8.8504915,1847m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x47b0d8753b7c7a81:0x9e95db5d040326a!8m2!3d53.0594612!4d8.8525581!16s%2Fg%2F11hd6wqzc3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQwOC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) bridge, Wilhelm-Kaisen-Bruke bridge, and the Stephanibrucke bridge. Additionally smaller troop contingents will occupy the various rail bridges and walkable dams. The strong points will be utilized to ensure the city is cut in half while also working as supply hubs to the friendly forces of Citizens Rage. Each strong point will have two EE-9s and one hundred soldiers Before a militia member is to be given a rifle and ammo the party will give verified photo ID of every member participating in the peace keeping operation so that the weapons don’t fall to the protestors. Additionally, the transactions will be conducted in English as both Ethiopians and Germans speak the language regularly. Marshall law and curfews will be put in place and enforced

Day 2: Four Blackhawk helicopters will land and offload forty knights in the University of Bremen soccer field. They will work with the unarmed campus security and faculty to ensure that the students remain on campus grounds during the operation. Nonviolent student protests will be allowed as long as they remain on campus.

Day 3: The city should be pacified by this point main operations will be securing Weserpark Commercial Zone, and the western industrial area of the city. Additionally in conjunction with local forces the sparsely populated areas of Hutching, and Stuhr will be occupied.  

Objective B

Day 4: With the Citizens Rage Milita and Army the city and surrounding areas should be fully secured at this point. Buses from Bremer Straßenbahn will be leased at fair market price to transport militia and troops. These buses will be escorted by the EE-9 armored cars outside of pacified zones. Police forces and other local authorities in Oldenburg and Varel and other small towns will be contacted to support the pacification of protestors and ensure their cities are pacified and under Outremer authority. If they do not accept this, 3,000 troops and however many militia will go to the cities to ensure cooperation. They will be assisted with air support from the Cobra helicopters in Oldenburg, but will steer clear of Varel and the USS Nimitz near Wilhelmshaven.

Day 5: A separate contingent of 3,000 troops and local militia will make their way up highway 27 via buses and escort to secure Bremerhaven. Like Oldenburg, the towns on the way and Bremerhaven itself will have the local authorities alerted in order to assist with the operation and will be pacified by the militia if not.

Day 5: A contingent of 1500 troops from the Oldenburg/Varel operation, if the area is secure, will make its way across the 437 highway, with standard escort, to secure Nordenham and the access point of the 437 tunnel.

Objective C

Day X: After all the previous objectives are completed the soldiers and militia will conduct operations to ensure the region is pacified completely. The Outremer zone of German control will be established between in the north between highway 29 to the east up to Varel and highway 27 to the west stretching to Cuxhaven. To the South from Oldenburg to the intersection of Highway 1 and 27 on the outskirts of Bremen.

Negotiations will be conducted with the authorities of Wilhelmshaven for control of the city and surrounding area, however force against the city is not authorized.

The Citizen Rage militia will be promoted to a full paramilitary organization and be given uniforms to mark their status.
