Orders for Cmdr Russian Forces

Situation:

The past few months of political chaos in Venezuela have given us the perfect opportunity to greatly increase our presence in the region. The Venezuelan government was desperate to remain in power, asking for support in favor of generous basing rights. As a token of friendship, we have repaired our carrier Kuznetsov and sent it to the region to show the flag.

Several days ago, riots broke out amongst the refugees on the Colombian-Venezuelan border towns of Arauca and Cucuta. The chaos escalated to the point where confused troops on both sides began firing on each other, leaving many civilians dead between them. The US has overreacted regarding the affair and has taken a war posture against our Venezuelan ally. An overzealous Flanker pilot recently downed an American cargo aircraft bound for Colombia, and we can now expect a state of open but localized hostility with American forces in the region.

Thanks to our diplomatic corps, we have successfully convinced Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic to prevent US overflights. The rest of Latin and South America is concerned but wishes to remain neutral in the conflict.

Mission:

Although a difficult task, we have the chance to demonstrate our resurgent country in the face of our weakened foe. There is a sizeable American presence headed for Venezuela, but we believe that the destruction of their carrier Eisenhower in their own backyard will thoroughly cow them into submission, and break their hegemony on the area. We will accomplish this thanks to our sizeable submarine force within the region, backed by the surface navy. Protect our forces to the max extent possible, especially our strategic bomber base of La Orchila.

Secondary tasks include the destruction of any naval and air forces present, and if possible lending assistance to the Venezuelan military in action against Colombia.

Friendly Forces

La Orchila

La Chinita International Airport

Kuznetsov Fleet:

Combatant Group

Submarines:

Additionally, the Venezuelans have a number of fighter aircraft available although these will likely be committed to the border region.

Enemy Forces

In addition to the USS Eisenhower strike group, we can expect a number of other ships and submarines in the region. Additionally, they have prepositioned aircraft to Puerto Rico and Panama, as well as Colombia. We expect these forces to include modern fighters, including stealth aircraft.

Good luck Commander!
