been a while since I've written a 5-paragraph operations order but here goes. . .
Raiding The United States of Kanowithttps://drive. google. com/file/d/0B_gNXzu7tDJvbnQ2SzlfYV9GT0E/view?usp=sharing 170Mb+
OrientationYou are the CO of the 2nd Expeditionary Force (2EF) of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SinoRussia). You share the Sol system with the allied NATO. To the Southwest is the Delphi Empire. To the Northwest is the House of Porto Novo, with a large navy. To the West is the subjugated homeworld of the low-tech Republic of Actinium (Pi-3 Orionis system). To the East is the United States of Kanowit.
SituationPlans were drawn up to conquer Kanowit after the 1st Expeditionary Force invaded Actinium. A tracking outpost was established in Kappa Ceti. The loss of survey ships in and near the system led to a patrol by an obsolete destroyer squadron, which was also destroyed. This has prompted senior leadership to launch a retaliatory strike with the bulk of the 2nd Expeditionary Force's combat power.
Enemy: Kanowit's primary warships encountered so far are armed with 200k-range railguns and are unshielded. Speeds of 4700km/s are common, giving them a tactical speed advantage over our ships. Kanowit's Most Likely Course of Action is to defend the NN3119-Gliese 95 jump point with a small force and then reinforce it with ships from their homeworld. Their Most Dangerous Course of Action is to defend the jump point with the bulk of their warships, overwhelming us with superior close-range firepower.
Friendly: We have small, underdeveloped forward fleet bases in the Gliese 105, NN 3119, and Kappa Ceti systems.
MissionOn order, 2nd Expeditionary Force will raid the Gliese 95 system in order to neutralize the power projection capabilities of Kanowit.
ExecutionCommander's Intent: The enemy's critical vulnerability is his lack of long-range missile firepower. Exploit this vulnerability by engaging his ships at range with our strike fighters, missile destroyers, and missile cruisers. Desired Endstate is the complete destruction of all Kanowit space forces, facilitating the expansion of our nearby outposts without risk to our shipping assets, as well as reducing opposition for our eventual invasion of their homeworld. Avoid damage to any carriers or logistical support ships at all costs.
Concept of Operations/Scheme of Maneuver: Transit the jump point with BreachRon 1, destroying all enemy in vicinity of the jump point. Than transit the rest of 2EF. Proceed towards Gliese 95-A IV (suspected enemy homeworld), destroying all forces encountered. Withdraw to NN3119 upon exhausting your missile supply, sustaining damage to CarRon 2 or LogRon 1, or upon sufficient damage to the rest of 2EF's combat power to render it unable to accomplish its mission.
Administration & LogisticsLogRon 1 has a full, mixed load of ship-to-ship, fighter-to-ship, and anti-missile ordnance, with an emphasis on ship-to-ship missiles. They are predominately order models but still sufficient given the enemy's demonstrated designs. No additional sources of ordnance or supplies exist closer than Sol.
Command & Signal2EF's flagship is CV Liaoning 002. The Liaoning-class carriers are the only Flag Bridge-equipped ships in the fleet.
Appendix A: Ship Design/Tactical Notes-BreachRon 1 consists of beam cruisers that I purposely designed for assaulting jump points. They are heavily shielded and armored (by my standards, at least), with fast-firing meson cannons and my usual loadout of a long-range laser turret and gauss cannons for point defense.
-Anti-Ship missiles and associated fire controls/radar are optimized for roughly a 50Mk range and targets over 5000tons.
-Strike Fighters have a combat radius of 150Mk, and are armed with shorter-ranged but more powerful anti-ship missiles (roughly 12Mk range) for targets over 2000t.
-Interceptors carry gauss cannons and small size-2 missiles for engaging any FACs or fighters.
-Keep in mind that the fleet does include 1 squadron of older general-purpose destroyers, armed with box launchers and lacking shields.
