Campaign - Countdown to Furlough
Operation - Operation Northern Lattice
Theatre - Syria
Base of Operations - Ramat David Air Base
Operation Overview
Over the next week, coalition forces stationed at Ramat David will conduct a series of coordinated, low-intensity operations designed to destabilize hostile control in central Syria and regain key terrain. While the wider strategic picture remains fluid, Command assesses that a window of opportunity exists to erode Red-for infrastructure before they can consolidate their positions.
Phase I — Rotary-Wing Suppression of Early Warning Assets
Rotary-wing pilots will spearhead the attack phase by conducting precision strikes against early-warning radar sites and SIGINT nodes scattered throughout the AO.
Neutralizing these systems and the defensive assets protecting them is essential to prevent Red-for forces from detecting coalition buildup and to ensure freedom of maneuver during subsequent operations.
Phase II — Seizure of Forward Operating Sites
Coalition Logistics Squadron will synchronize with paratrooper elements to secure and reestablish control of Forward Operating Bases (primary objective: An-Nasiriyah Air Base). These captured location will serve as forward refuel/rearm points for follow-on missions and provide staging areas for deep-strike assets.
Phase III — Systematic Attrition of Red-for Infrastructure
As forward bases are being secured and radar coverage degraded, fixed-wing strike packages will begin a deliberate series of attacks against critical Red-for logistics hubs, warehouses, command posts, and fuel depots. These targets represent the backbone of the enemy's sustainment capabilities, and their destruction is expected to significantly reduce Red-for's operational reach.
Enemy Air Threat Assessment
Although Red-for currently fields no operational fixed-wing fighters, they maintain a notable rotary-wing contingent composed of experienced attack helicopter crews.
Command judges that unless these assets are neutralized early, they may mount harassment attacks or even attempt a concentrated push southward—threatening both Ramat David and friendly ground forces holding the MSR corridor.
