After Action Report (AAR)
Operation: Halt Separatist Advance - Zerno
Unit: Task Force - 1st Battalion, Chernarus 3rd Separate Tank Brigade
1. Situation
Enemy: Separatist forces with unknown strength and composition, suspected to be mobile and equipped with heavy armor (BTR-80A, T-55). Lighter vehicles (BMPs, BRDMs) and air support (Mi-8) confirmed.
Friendly: Task Force composed of 2 BRDM scout cars, 2+ (unspecified number) T-72 tanks, a BMP infantry fighting vehicle, and a Command Squad. Reinforcements included a BTR rifle squad and an additional tank.
Terrain: Urban environment (Zerno town)
2. Mission
Initial mission: Defend Zerno from separatist forces.
Secondary mission (issued during operation): Advance northeast and engage enemy forces.
3. Execution
Upon arrival at Zerno, enemy forces were already present. One BRDM scout car was destroyed.
Task Force commander engaged an enemy technical but was killed by BTR-80A fire. Command Squad lost communication.
2nd Squad leader assumed command and attempted to re-establish communication with Command Squad.
Two T-72s engaged enemy forces within Zerno, one being destroyed.
Battalion command ordered a shift in objective - advance northeast and engage enemy forces there.
2nd Squad remained in Zerno to hold off enemy attacks. Reinforcements arrived with a BTR squad and additional tank, which supported the advancing Command Squad.
2nd Squad lost its BMP and was subsequently wiped out under heavy enemy pressure.
Despite efforts, the Task Force failed to achieve either its initial or secondary objectives.
Task Force Commander ordered a general retreat back to base.
4. Sustained Losses
Friendly: 2x T-72 tanks, 2x BRDM scout cars, 1x BMP infantry fighting vehicle, 1x Squad (wiped out).
Enemy (field count): 4x BMPs, 1x BTR, 1x BRDM, 1x T-55 tank, 1x Mi-8 gunship.
5. Analysis
Strengths: Reinforcements provided additional firepower and allowed for a partial withdrawal. Field count suggests successful engagement with enemy forces.
Weaknesses: Task Force entered Zerno without complete recon, leading them into a prepared enemy position. Communication loss hampered effective command and control. Limited infantry support proved insufficient in an urban environment.
Opportunities: Improved communication protocols could mitigate future losses of command elements. Pre-emptive recon and combined arms tactics could enhance effectiveness against mobile enemy forces.
Threats: Enemy possesses heavier than anticipated armor and mobile capabilities. The urban environment limited effective use of armored vehicles.
6. Recommendations
Conduct a thorough review of pre-mission reconnaissance procedures.
Implement more robust communication protocols to prevent loss of command control.
Re-evaluate infantry support for armored operations in urban environments.
Consider revising engagement tactics when facing well-equipped mobile enemy forces.
7. Conclusion
The Task Force suffered heavy losses due to aggressive action into an unprepared for situation and a secondary objective issued during heavy enemy contact. While causing some enemy casualties, the mission failed to achieve its objectives. The AAR findings will be used to improve future operational planning, reconnaissance procedures, and communication protocols.
