Operation Försvarare
A Swedish combined arms element has been dispatched as a part of the UNPROFOR's peacekeeping mission during the collapse of Yugoslavia.

WARNING - THIS OPERATION RUNS USING THE GLOBAL MOBILISATION CDLC. SOME ROLES WILL REQUIRE THE DLC. THIS WILL BE MARKED IN THE ORBAT.
Yugoslavia has collapsed, what remains is a bloody war between the Bosnians and Herzegovina. With the fighting out of control, the UN has established a UNPROFOR in order to lay the foundations for lasting peace, as well as to minimize collateral damage. Among them, a joint Nordic known as NORDBAT 2.
NORDBAT 2, unlike many peacekeepers has gained a reputation for being rather... proactive compared to similar forces. This has caused significant controversy, but also praise. Unlike other battalions, NORDBAT has bought a mechanized force, supported by some of the most modern armour in Europe.
SITUATION
A large Serbian force has begun encroaching on a UN mandated protection zone, there have been reports of military personnel interfering with refugee transports and aid missions into the greater area.
There is a high likelihood that this force has been seeking out particular ethnicities, likely in like with the other reports of ethnic cleansing elsewhere in the region.
This force is also threatening a set of established observation posts and FOBs outside of the safe area, the garrison forces within these facilities have requested for reinforcements, seeking the aid of armoured assets due to the reported presence of Serbian tanks.
Therefore, a combined arms operation has been established, Comprised of a 3 section platoon with IFV transport and protection elements. As well as a single tank platoon of Danish Leopard 1A5s.
It should also be noted that war reporters will likely be present in the area. As such, they will likely be observing and reporting on the situation at hand. Look proactive, but not too heavy handed.
