SITUATION:
Virojoki coastline, Virolahti Region, Suukoski. January 2021.With the dissolution of the Soviet Union reshaping Eastern Europe, Suukoski remained staunchly aligned with the USSR. The nation gained independence in 1991 and quickly developed close ties to the Russian Federation. Struggles to develop a national identity continued past the millennium as old allegiances to Russia conflicted with younger views, more sympathetic to the West and drawn to the ideals of the European Union. Financial difficulties further curtailed Suukoski’s growth and longstanding power struggles within the military and parliament have erupted into a country-wide conflict.
The deposed ministers led loyal elements of the Suukoski Defense Force (SDF) and seized the country's northern regions before advancing southeast towards the capital. The rebel forces halted the SDF advance with support from US and British forces.
An SDF offensive in the Virolahti region has captured the towns of Länsikylä and Haavvisto. The SDF are now able to seize Virojoki and the nearby airfield. Rebel troops withdrawing from the southern peninsula have been unable to disengage harassing forces as a secondary SDF element is holding the main road out (Route Wednesday).
Coalition forces are to deploy from the US fleet off of the coast of Suukoski. British forces are to support the defence of Virojoki and capture the town of Klamila designated Obj. Able, to hit enemy forces in the rear and disrupt enemy supply lines.
MISSION:1 Platoon are to push and secure the town of Klamila (Designated Obj. Able)
