Operational context
Situation
The UN is expanding its aid and reconstruction operation into Eastern Kharzan. Several sites have been established to distribute food, water, medical supplies, and other essential aid to the local population. Orion has been asked to assist with moving supplies from a UN logistics point to the central aid site, where the local organiser will provide further instructions for distributing them across the region.
Recent operations have shown that the insurgents are significantly better equipped and organised than first believed. The UN is concerned that the aid operation will become a target once distribution begins. Insurgent forces may attempt to isolate and overwhelm individual sites before launching a wider attack, with infantry expected to be supported by troop transports, technicals, and other armed vehicles.
The central aid site is essential to the operation and must remain active. The surrounding sites should also be protected where possible, as their loss will reduce the reach of the aid effort and damage local confidence in the UN mission.
