They also caught sight of a [[wikipedia:Dragon's teeth (fortification)|dragons teeth line]] across the bridge, functionally blocking all armored movement south-east.

Background

Following the events of operation Wide Eyes, in which the 7th Planetary Brigade Combat Team successfully prevented Lt. General Fyke from attaining control of Citta Del Tesoro and the adjacent airfield, General Ardel ordered his forces to engage Fyke on the northern, western, and eastern fronts simultaneously. The eastern front was entrusted to the 7th Planetary Brigade Combat Team, who was given an offer of "double-or-nothing" pay to assist further, which Colonel Adams accepted.

The brigade then prepared to deploy east towards the cities of Creux Passer and Elever Racines. According to Ardel, the "main force" of Fyke is located within the region.

Upon arrival, it became clear that the men in the operational area were wearing the military uniforms of the Fesalian Military. It was explained by Ardel that it was likely the men in the area had deserted due to Fyke's influence.

Objectives

For this operation, the 7th Planetary Brigade Combat Team was instructed to:

  • Secure and hold Creux Passer while keeping it's infrastructure intact.
  • Secure and hold Elever Racines.
  • Take action to ensure the Elever Lac dam was not intentionally destroyed by the opposing force.

Deployment

Deployment into the operational area took place over the course of 3 rounds (0-2) at drop zones codenamed Western, Goodshoes, and Mriya, though no company opted to deploy forces at the latter location.

The veteran companies 1st Komodo, 1st Victoris Pioneers, Easy Company, Ligeia, and Sunburst joined the operation. They were joined by newly operational companies Bogatyr, Orion, The Night's Radiance, and Zembla.

Operation chronology

An operational chronology is not available for this campaign due to the wiki being created well into the campaign's life-cycle, resulting in a backlog of orders that the primary writer could not keep up with.
