SITREP
European Defense Alliance have been assigned to assist the Finnish Army against the Russian offensive. We have been deployed south of VT7, one of the main highways that leads to the finnish mainland. This area has been secured by the Russian forces and is an important position for resupplying their offensive further west. Since our arrival our forces have eliminated most of the know anti-air threat in the area, attacking supply convoys and deploying Tier one units behind enemy lines to recon and destroy important positions in the area. 30 minutes ago we got information that a transport helicopter, callsign Birdfood, was hit by a RPG 7 while exfiltrating with a 4 man tier one group from the north side of the AO. We lost contact with both the helicopter pilots and the tier one unit and drone recon have confirmed that they have crash landed. It's unknown if there were any survivors.
BRIEFING
Your mission is primarily to confirm casualties and recover any personal that's still alive at the crash site, OBJECTIVE BALTAZAR. The russian troops are confirmed to have start to advance towards the crash site and are expected to secure the area and capture any survivors.
If the enemy capture our pilots or tier one troops the most probable position for the enemy to move the soldiers are a previous Finnish communications base now besieged by the Russians about 4 km from the crash site, OBJECTIVE ALCATRAZ. If the captured personnel can't be located at this position search for intel on their location.
LOCATE AND/OR RECOVER
2 PILOTS
4 SPECIAL FORCES UNIT MEMBERS


INTEL
The russians have mostly support personnel in the area but we expect around 400-600 infantry, technicals, APCs in the area. There are a low risk of enemy aircraft in the area since our pilots shot down a few of their SU35 the days before.
We expect most of the antiair are destroyed but existing units are marked on the OP map and these area should be avoided with our helicopters if possible. If needed destroy antiair to open up the airspace over the AO. The russians have a QRF to the east with tanks and other reinforcements about 2,5-3 hours away.
