INTELLIGENCE MEMORANDUM

INITIAL SATTELITE RECON IMAGE RESULTS OF

AREA DESIGNATED AS NOVEMBER ALPHA

Summary

As of 0700 hours ZULU time, initial RECONSAT images were recovered over several target areas of future AOR (Area of Responsibility) designated for the time being as NOVEMBER ALPHA. Images show development of several small communities across all sectors in the entire AOR as was originally projected. However, some BRAVO sectors show massive signs of civilization.

Images show that there are what seem to be multiple unknown militant forces established along multiple beachheads previously designated for friendly forces to land and begin operations. The same situation is also apparent at several strategic locations throughout these sectors.

Mobilization Into Primary/Secondary BRAVO sectors

Because of the unknown nature of these forces, it has been determined that, at this time, a direct offensive military operation has been deemed unnecessary. Instead, advance scout operatives will be tactically inserted into various locations in before mentioned sectors, for no less than two (2) years, so that the tactical situation on the ground can be evaluated. These operatives will be selected from various combat units designated under special operations commands from each branch. Operatives could be in hostile situations and must act accordingly without compromising mission effectiveness.

Mobilization Into Primary/Secondary ALPHA sectors

As of now, all ALPHA sectors are still deemed unsafe for combat operations, and, at this time, are designated off limits to all forces operating in the entire AOR.

Mission/Mobilization Status

OPERATION: SILENT WITNESS has been approved as of 4 May 2280.

Operatives will be selected and deployed by 6 May 2280.
