Operation Conundrum
QRF JAGUAR will HALO east of Rigel Residences, recover CIA asset SANDPIPER from a locked-down Sentinel cordon, eliminate HVT SPHINX and the ENIGMA command element at Jace Skell Conference Hall, exploit Checkpoint Viper Foxtrot if the route stays quiet, and then clear Blue Viper Outpost to break ENIGMA's remaining force structure.
Situation
CIA asset SANDPIPER, embedded undercover at Jace Skell Conference Hall, has produced an actionable target package on ENIGMA after prior SIGINT linked that unit to covert action on Auroa and repeated civilian and allied rebel casualties. Intelligence indicates SPHINX was trained by a rogue veteran of 1st NZSAS, so the opposing force should be treated as a highly capable SOF element.
SANDPIPER triggered his SARSAT beacon at 1350. TOC camera access from a previous COMINT tap confirms Rigel Residences is now locked down by Sentinel security, with guards blocking exits and conducting violent interrogations in the area.
Execution
QRF JAGUAR departs Erewhon HQ at 1900, HALOs to the LZ east of Alpha, and moves to each objective on foot while avoiding road exposure. The sequence must stay quiet enough to avoid spooking SPHINX or triggering a radio warning to Blue Viper Outpost before the command hall strike lands.
- AlphaStabilize Rigel Residences and secure SANDPIPER before the lockdown escalates into civilian casualties.
- BravoHit Jace Skell Conference Hall and eliminate SPHINX with his Sentinel security detail.
- CharlieIf conditions allow, clear Checkpoint Viper Foxtrot and bag logs and portable electronics tied to convoy movement through the AO.
- DeltaAssault Blue Viper Outpost, free the captive allied rebel, then call PELICAN to help establish the site as a rebel FOB.
Compromise Risk
Any premature alert from Alpha or Bravo could push SPHINX out of reach or warn the ENIGMA FOB, so the movement plan should stay off-road and control radio/weapon signature as long as possible.
Friendly Asset
SANDPIPER is the first-person source for the Jace Skell target package and must be protected at Alpha before the force pivots to the conference hall strike.
Enemy Capability
Expect disciplined ENIGMA personnel and a trained SOF commander. SPHINX may present as any special enemy profile at Bravo and should be treated as the key terminal objective there.
Rigel Residences
Break the lockdown, prevent civilian casualties, and secure SANDPIPER so the source survives the ENIGMA takedown.
Jace Skell Conference Hall
Neutralize SPHINX and the meeting security detail before a warning reaches Blue Viper Outpost.
Checkpoint Viper Foxtrot
Target-of-opportunity sweep for logs and portable electronics that explain what ENIGMA convoys have been moving across this border sector.
Blue Viper Outpost
Eliminate the remaining ENIGMA unit, free the rebel prisoner confirmed by HUMINT photo, and hand the site to PELICAN for rebel FOB setup and on-site debrief.
