Op Shrouded Lance 07 - 2025/10/25

Situation

The Presidential protective posture remains focused on the command bunker in Kvilda, which is assessed as the primary Presidential safehouse and current NNDF/NOVA command node for senior leadership. Intelligence indicates reinforced communications and evacuation planning centred on this site; the Economic Minister (Niko Žižek) location remains unknown but is assessed as potentially co-located with the President or held within the same protective network. There is a concrete possibility that one or both principals have been moved to a nearer backup site (prepared egress/holding locations closer to the capital and adjacent buildings) to provide alternate exfil routes if Kvilda becomes untenable.

A repurposed ammunition depot / missile assembly complex (OBJ Pillar) received final components (convoys routed to the MS Hurvinke). ISR and captured comms confirm active assembly and integration activity at these repurposed facilities. Explosive and demolition risk is high with on-site testing and chemical work have produced hazardous by-products and the presence of live missile stores and volatile propellants means use of explosives risks catastrophic secondary detonations and release of toxic chemical by-products; tasking therefore directs reduction or avoidance of demolition charges and preference for precision isolation, render-safe and manual seizure where possible.

On the western axis the NNDF has established a hardened frontline with engineered fortifications and strengthened MSR defensive positions to deny access to the capital; recent ISR shows armour and infantry massing to contest any western approach. Agrarian Revolt, led by “Shepherd” is committed to and actively assisting the ground advance on the capital with Shepherd’s forces tasked to assault NNDF forward positions in concert with 2PARA and RTR elements to unhinge the western defence line and create routes into Susice. Expect stiff, organised opposition with fortifications along the western corridor which must be prioritised for suppression and breach support to maintain momentum toward the capital.

Acknowledgements

• Refer to the situation report for detailed information on known factions and identification.
• Civilians in rural areas are likely to be neutral or supportive of our presence however civilians to the south in built up cities are die hard supporters of their current government and military.
• Novagorija National Defence Force [NNDF] has access to newer equipment although a majority of their personnel may lack in-depth knowledge. As such most of their advance Anti Air positions are located south, mainly securing major cities, military installations and main airbase. Manpads and AAA guns are still employed across the region in key areas. 

Commanders intent

The intent for final objectives will be to exploit our foothold and current intelligence to press the offensive on the capital, Susice. Priority is the capture of the remaining HVTs, President Lavrencij Krečič and Economic Minister Niko Žižek, and the seizure and neutralisation of the ballistic-missile program (secure the known assembly site, seize guidance computers and launch hardware, render or destroy as directed). Protect friendly forces, minimise civilian harm.
