After Action Report (AAR)
Operation: Velikie Hydice Defense
Date: OP2402-23-2
Unit: Chernarus 9th Separate Light Rifle Brigade, Task Force
1. Situation
Friendly: A combined task force comprised of elements from 1st Battalion, 9th Light Rifle Brigade and recon elements from 19th Mechanized Cavalry Regiment was formed to intercept a separatist attack on Velikie Hydice.
Enemy: Separatist forces with unknown strength and composition, suspected to include technicals, BMPs, and potentially armor.
2. Mission
Intercept and defeat separatist attack on Velikie Hydice.
Secure key objectives: bridgehead to the northwest and river crossing to the northeast.
3. Execution
Task force moved based on intel from friendly agents and intercepted messages.
Recon elements encountered and eliminated an enemy patrol, sustaining some casualties.
Approaching Velikie Hydice, the task force encountered heavy fire from enemy technicals.
Scout 1 BRDM was destroyed, Scout 2 BRDM pulled back.
Artillery smoke missions were used to cover infantry advance while recon tanks engaged enemy vehicles.
Task force reached the southwest edge of town without further losses and began probing into the village.
Repeated artillery strikes targeted enemy approaches and locations with identified infantry threats.
Despite artillery support, enemy forces breached the northwest bridgehead, causing heavy casualties in 3rd Squad.
2nd Squad assumed responsibility for the bridgehead, then 4th Squad upon their arrival.
Enemy forces exploited the withdrawal from the bridgehead, entering the northern part of the village.
Friendly counterfire halted further enemy advance, destroying one enemy BRDM that crossed the river.
Suffering significant casualties, the task force commander ordered withdrawal.
4. Friendly Losses
Personnel: 20 (1 officer, 19 enlisted)
Equipment: 1 BRDM scout car
5. Enemy Losses (estimated)
Personnel: Unknown
Equipment: 7 technicals, 2 BMPs, 1 BRDM scout car, 1 T-34 tank
6. Observations
Effective use of combined arms tactics (recon, artillery, armor, infantry) initially achieved success.
Insufficient artillery fire safety line at the northwest bridgehead allowed enemy breakthrough.
Heavy casualties hampered the ability to secure all objectives and defend against sustained enemy pressure.
Despite the setback, enemy forces suffered significant losses, hindering their offensive capabilities.
7. Recommendations
Reinforce future operations with additional mechanized infantry and combat engineer support to improve defensive capabilities.
Conduct thorough pre-mission rehearsals to ensure effective coordination between artillery and ground forces.
Implement stricter fire discipline procedures to minimize friendly casualties during artillery fire missions.
8. Conclusion
While the task force failed to fully secure Velikie Hydice, they inflicted significant casualties on enemy forces and prevented a complete takeover of the village. The high friendly losses highlight the need for improved tactics, additional resources, and a reevaluation of future operational plans in the Sumava region.
9. Recommendation for Further Action
The brigade operations staff recommends deploying 3rd Battalion, 17th Mechanized Cavalry Regiment to Sumava next week to conduct a counteroffensive operation. This recommendation is based on the need to exploit enemy vulnerabilities exposed during this operation and capitalize on the weakened state of their forces in the region.
