FROM: CINC-TMD*
TO: 39th MOTOR-RIFLE DIVISION*
*
SITREP 0400*
*
Good morning, Comrades!*
*
After successfully defeating NATO troops in the Western TVD, now we can shift to our main objective, the capture of the Persian Gulf oilfields. Your division is now under command of the 4th Combined Arms Army in Transcaucasus Military District.*
*
Iran has granted us permission to ferry troops and airplanes through the narrow corridor in the northern Iran. We will invade Iraq by surprise airdrops and mechanized push from Iran. Your division will head the advance, together with the other 5 A-class divisions. The remaining lower-class divisions will be the follow-up forces.*
*
No serious opposition is expected, but the Iraqui Republican Guard units are equipped with our T-72 tanks, so they can be a threat to our flanks, as we advance into the country.*
*
Your first objective: break the Iraqi defence line that lies before Kirkuk. We've identified elements of three Iraqi divisions within 50 km around Kirkuk, with one division of Regular Army entrenched around the town. This action will allow us to quicky cut Iraqi forces and take Baghdad.*
