Unit: Task Force assembled from 1st Battalion, Chernarus 4th Separate Light Mountain Rifle Brigade.

Main defense: Poorly prepared separatist and affiliated forces within Orlovets.
Equipment: Recoilless rifle technical (destroyed Scout 2 BRDM), small arms, artillery (countered by friendly counterbattery unit).
3. Friendly Forces:

Task force composed of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Squads, supported by BRDM scout cars and counterbattery unit.
Initial plan: Two-pronged attack with 2nd and 3rd Squads approaching from the southeast and 1st and 4th Squads from the southwest.
4. Execution:

Withdrawal: Ordered by battalion command, executed successfully with no further enemy contact.
5. Assessment:

Mission objective achieved: Orlovets cleared of enemy forces.

Implement strategies to mitigate risk of command personnel casualties during close-quarters engagements.
Analyze captured intelligence materials for further insights into separatist movements and plans.
7. Conclusion:

Operation Clean Sweep effectively achieved its objective despite initial setbacks. The task force demonstrated resilience and adaptability in overcoming enemy resistance and retrieving valuable intelligence. Moderate casualties serve as a reminder of the inherent risks of combat operations. Continuous review and improvement of tactics, procedures, and communications are crucial for future success.
