Orders Cdr NBG:

1.situation
a)enemy:
Mechanized enemy forces are attacking north-east from Kouvola, through Valkeala towards Mikkeli. Their point of main effort is along Highway 15. The attack has left the main supply route vulnerable for our counterattacks, and the enemy has tied up resources to counter that threat. At Valkeala we estimate a mixed company size ad-hoc force has moved in to hold the town. They have recently arrived, meaning they are not heavily dug-in. Drone recon has spotted T-72 tanks moving in and unidentified IFVs along with at least one Tunguska SPAA vehicle moving in the town. Further information on the enemy location and forces is not available, but it's estimated they have had time to lay some protective minefields and build some rudimentary obstacles only. They also have a big area to hold, so they may be thinly spread. The enemy should have some indirect support available, but only in small numbers, a battery of SPA maximum. The enemy is believed to also have a local quick reaction reserve force ready to counter any activity along Highway 15 between Kouvola and Valkeala. Strenght is unknown, but estimated being a mixed company maximum. Enemy air activity has ceased due to the weather and casualties during this operation. [/INDENT]b)Own:
NBG is in full strenght with Finnish mech inf coy (+tank platoon), swedish armour coy and danish support coy. The force is deployed north of Valkeala, ready to attack with full ammunition and fuel. NBG is supported by a Norwegian SPA battery of 12 tubes (HE and SMOKE). Friendly air assets are tasked with denying the enemy air superiority, and there is no fixed wing close air support available for now.

d)Weather and Terrain Conditions:
The first snow has fallen. The land is frosty, so it should not be too soft for vehicles, except the swamp areas...? Lakes are not yet frozen deep enough to support men or vehicles.
The temperature is -5 celcius, and it's snowing lightly, reducing the visibility to ~1000m.

The town of Valkeala is evacuated of any civilians, so there are no ROE limitations in this mission.
