+++ MISSION BRIEFING +++ 

+++ Situation +++

After the Kavala region was taken back by Greece in 2024, the situation has never really calmed down. Turkey has left NATO and entered an alliance with Russian Federation and Syrian Arab Republic in the midst of a major economic crisis - and this alliance somehow managed to overcome the crisis with flying colours which couldn’t be said about NATO forces.

In 2025 the Turkey - Greece relations hit an all time low - in part because of a refugee crisis that was sparked by the economic downfall.

After some escalations during the spring, Turkey and Syria together started invading Greece - Turkey started taking the mainland while Syria started capturing various islands. The famous Kos, Lesbos and Samos all fell already, however Syria is yet to take Altis - which will give Syria and by extension Turkey - a big strategic advantage in the region.

After securing Pyrgos and the adjacent military base, the 7th mech. Division and its attached Special Forces are now tasked with capturing an enemy Command Post near Charkia. The enemy's main defensive line is located on the nearby ridge. It will likely need to be attacked, suppressed or destroyed, before an assault on the command post becomes possible. Enemy reinforcements are expected to arrive from the Telos Military Base. 

Be very careful when attacking the ridge. This is the enemy's main defensive line cutting off the entirety of the South-Eastern peninsula. This ridge is necessary to dominate this region and the enemy knows this. 

+++ Objectives +++

Primary: 

1. Capture the Command Post near Charkia.

Secondary: 

1. Eliminate enemy defensive positions on The Ridge. 
2. Eliminate enemy forces occupying Charkia
3. Eliminate reactionary forces coming from the Telos Military Base. 
4. Find/Secure Intelligence at the command post.

Enjoy! 

Edit: Questions compilation

1.  Is there RRR available, and how is it arranged?
   • Yes, the Logistics platoon will handle that by driving a RRR Truck up to any location specified by PLT-Lead/RTO.
2.  How many reinforcement vehicles are there?
   • Additional Tanks are available, however due to possible engagements on other parts of Altis their number is currently unknown. At least 2 additional T-80UMs will be on standby for Operation Grey Eclipse.
3. Known hostile armour and compositions?
   • TBD
4. Known hostile air presence?
   • The Greek Air Force is engaged with ours and will most likely not deploy in operations in your AO. If you spot hostile Air, inform Manticore, they will scramble for response.
5. Are they entrenched?
   • The enemy has multiple defensive positions set up on The Ridge
6. Are they known to use Mines?
   • Mines are in the Greek Arsenal, however we believe them to not be in use, due to the high civilian presence still remaining on Altis, away form the frontline.
