Following a short but bloody campaign in the former Portuguese colony of Lingor, deployed elements of A Coy 1VCB have extracted from the province after UNSEC withdrew the mandate for further operations in the area. Intense internecine fighting exacerbated by the presence of foreign troops risked turning the conflict into a full scale civil war, so a unilateral decision has been made to try and deheat the situation.
Initial reports indicate that although 1VCB took considerable losses whilst cut off behind enemy lines, they inflicted significant damage on enemy infrastructure, equipment and fighting power. CinCLANTFLT is reportedly content that British Forces conducted themselves satisfactorily under the circumstances but has promised a full and transparent investigation into the claims of local civilian deaths in the area of operations.
3 (Morton) Pl has been been stood down for platoon level training in preparation for further operations in the near future.

Despite many members insisting it’s where their grandmothers hang out, in the interests of making VOLCBAT more accessible we now has a public channel on Skype, which anyone can join to ask questions about who we are, what we do and what milsim means to us. Look for the VOLCBAT channel or find Friznit on Skype and ask for an invite.

British and Chernarus troops have been operating under UN authority in Lingor for the past month, in an attempt to end the violence against the civilian population.
Neither the MOD or CDA would comment on the UN’s statement, however a source within the MOD spoke briefly to ANN. They told us that the missile had been carrying highly toxic chemical agents and the UN HQ in Lingor was the target. They did not say whether the HQ had been hit” [ANN]

The RAL counter-offensive quickly withdrew northwards, back to entrenched positions, shortly after the surrender of the southern elements. SIGINT from the force indicates moral had faltered and they were no longer able to fight effectively. The UNSFL detachment were able to occupy the Regt HQ without further incident.

*Calamar Port*
*Southern Lingor*
—MESSAGE BEGINS—
AAN reports “British and Chernarus soldiers, under the banner of the United Nations, launched an amphibious and airborne assault, from British Royal Navy ships, to take control of the Southern Lingor port of Calamar and its nearby airport. With only light resistance and no casualties the port, airport and surrounding area were taken. A series of unexplained explosions, which occurred shortly before the assault began, at military installations have been contributed to why Republic Army of Lingor forces were unable to mount a defence. Had they, one senior US official states; the operation wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.
The operation was, however, almost scrapped mere hours before it was due to begin; Mexico suddenly, and yet without explanation withdrew all troops and support for the operation. After this drastic action by the Mexican Government and military serious doubts were raised as to if the remaining British and Chernarus troops could succeed alone.
Amid the withdrawal of Mexican support, a senior Chernarus commander was heard saying that Britain could have committed a far larger force than the single company of support troops and helicopters.
Despite the successful landfall, the ruling Military Council of Lingor released a lengthy radio broadcast stating the “UN aggressors had sustained massive casualties and had fled back to their ships.” They continued by declaring war on Britain, Chernarus and the United States.”

Falkland Islands
—MESSAGE BEGINS—
At the beginning of January 2012, commanders of the two largest army regiments of Lingor, a small cluster of island off the east coast of South America, staged a coup d’état against the ruling party and began open conflict against the remaining army regiment and airforce. Days later the commanders of the dissident regiments rested control of the capitol city of Lingor and several military bases across the island state, despite incurring heavy losses. The dissident regiments begun referring to themselves as the “Republic Army of Lingor” and vowed to eradicate anyone loyal to the previous government or to the Armadas Revolucionarias de Lingor.
February 2nd 2012, video of alleged RAL soldiers executing civilians, along with film of the opening battles of the coup a month earlier, are uploaded to the internet. The global community quickly responds to this, and the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Germany all release statements of condemnation towards the actions of the RAL.
Later the same week, the Russian Federation release satellite images of mass graves in the centre of a several Lingor villages. An emergency United Nations Security Council session is called and Resolution 2012 is passed.
United Nations Security Council Resolution 2012 authorizes the use of military assets and personnel from UN member countries on Lingor’s territory, with the express aim to dismantle the Republic Army of Lingor regime and halt the killing of civilians. The United Kingdom, Chernarus and Mexico agreed to participate in the UN Security Force, while the United States of America agreed to provide aerial support. The UNSF has begun to muster in Mexico and the Falkland Islands.

VCB Infantry Training Centre, Copehill Down Village on Army Training Estate (Salisbury Plain). A Coy 1VCB recently conducted Advanced Urban Combat (AUC) and Exlosive Method of Entry (EMOE) drills in preparation for an upcoming deployment to Afghanistan. The training training day, led by our serving Royal Marine Commando, was a great success and finished with an introduction to advanced section level tactics, which will aid survivability and flexibility on ops. A Coy faces an imminent departure to Sangin province followed by wider operations in the Afghan AO throughout the next few months.
3Pl patrol into the local town and within minutes a group of civilians start to riot…they have set fire to a bunch of tyres and are protesting about something, a couple are carrying guns. A quick search reveals that one of them is carrying evidence. We detain him and cuff him then call in the HVT extraction team. Our lead scout spots a civilian approaching. He tells us that there’s an IED in the area. Checking the map he kindly marks it for us. Donning a THOR III, the EOD team move away from the crowd and towards what appears to be a civvie Land Rover. The THOR III emits a ping letting us know that it’s blocking a radio signal. 200 yards away a dicker stands watching us. The Land Rover must be setup as an IED. The Pl Comd orders us to put a couple of rounds into the vehicle and it explodes. Sprinting after the dicker, we manage to detain him too. Searching him, we find a radio and a weapon. We remove his belongings and cuff him. The HVT extraction helo is inbound. Calling in an HLS briefing, we pop green smoke and it lands exactly as placed. Uncuffing the HVT’s, they are loaded into the helo and they depart. We move back to the crowd and ask them to clear the area, many of them do. One civilian though approaches us, another bit of intel… the last thing we hear is “allah akbar” and everything goes black…
