Combat Patrol: Warning Order
Warning Order
Area of Operations: Ops Box ‘Tiger’: approx. 5 miles to the west of Romney, West Virginia
SITUATION
1. General: (This follows directly from the events recounted in ‘Patriot Dawn: The Resistance Rises‘).
Following the failed assault on Washington D.C. by Southern Federation Forces, the Shenandoah Freefor Resistance Company has evacuated the city, splitting down into squad sized elements, escaping and evading west into the mountains of Appalachia.
2. Enemy Forces:
Local intelligence from the Romney Region Freefor intelligence network has indicated that enemy elements have been infiltrating the surrounding area. The enemy consists of small groups up to squad size, who are conducting terror and reprisal operations against small rural communities and isolated farmsteads. It is believed that these group are made up primarily of members of the criminal gang NT14, which pre-collapse was endemic in the Northern Virginia area. The NT14 is a violent organized crime gang, whose members often have prior military experience and/or a violent gang background. Intel indicates that these gangs are sponsored by the Regime as irregular forces, conducting terror and cleansing operations. Their incursions into rural areas are conducted as softening operations, followed by occupation by ‘blue shirt’ Regime internal security forces, known as Homeland Intervention Tactical Teams (HITT).
There is believed to be at least one enemy group, of approximately 12 members, operating within AO Tiger.

You are a squad size element of Freefor Rangers, detached from the Shenandoah Freefor Resistance Company following your exfil from D.C.
