e. UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 4555 (2018).

(U) Time Zone Used Throughout the OPLAN/OPORD: Local.

(U) Task Organization: Refer to Annex A (Task Organization).

1. (U) Situation. This OPORD is in response to CFLCC OPORD 59991-21 (CASPIAN

CHALLENGE), dated 15 January 2021, tasking 4th Infantry Division to deploy forces to the

area of operations and conduct offensive operations to defeat Ahurastan (AH) conventional

forces and enable the restoration of the pre-conflict international borders of Azerbaijan (AZ).

Phase I – RSOI is complete 4th Infantry Division units at tactical assembly area (TAA) TBILISI

(38T MM 83500 15700) conducting final combat preparations. Phase II – 4th Infantry Division

involves the movement plan deploying from TAA TBILISI to Attack Position LION (ATK POS

LION) in order to (IOT) posture for Phase III operations. 4th Infantry Division is the decisive

operation for Phase III – Dominate and Phase IV - Stabilize for CFLCC OPORD 59991-21.

a. (U) Area of Interest. The 4th Infantry Division area of interest includes the airways and

land areas of Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Ahurastan and the adjacent littoral waters. Specific areas

of interest are the Araks and Kura rivers, including the land areas south to the international

border. When directed, this may be extended to include specified areas of the country of

Ahurastan. Refer to Annex B (Intelligence).

b. (U) Area of Operations. The 4th Infantry Division area of operations consists of the land

areas within the country of Azerbaijan designated by CFLCC (U.S. II Corps) as area of

operations four (4) (AO4). When directed, this may be extended to include specified areas of the

country of Ahurastan. Refer to the Appendix 2 (Operation Overlay) to Annex C (Operations).

(1) (U) Terrain. Cross-country mobility is restricted due to multiple rivers (Kura, Araks

[also known as the Aras]), marshes, and canal networks. Large scale movements are restricted to

roads. Key terrain in the AO are the dams and major bridges across the Kura and Araks rivers.

Generally flat terrain throughout AO4 allows direct observation for both defender and attacker

allowing direct fire engagement at long ranges. Short vegetation provides poor cover and

concealment of vehicles allowing aerial detection. Refer to Annex B (Intelligence).

(a) (U) Effect on Enemy Capabilities. The lesser Caucasus mountain range will

provide limited avenues of approach for Ahurastan forces attacking north into Azerbaijan. These

limited approaches will also canalize Ahurastan forces as they conduct their attack into

Azerbaijan. The lesser Caucasus mountain range also provides Ahurastan forces close terrain in

which to stage forces and locate support units and equipment during offensive operations.

Additionally, this mountain range will provide good defensive terrain should their attack fail.

(b) (U) Effect on Friendly Courses of Action. Both the lesser and greater Caucasus

mountain ranges will affect coalition operations. The greater Caucasus and the limited

movement corridors from the ports in Georgia to Azerbaijan will slow the introduction of

coalition forces into Azerbaijan. Limited movement avenues pose a security threat in that they

provide ideal terrain for operations by the Azerbaijani insurgent forces and Ahurastan Special

Purpose Forces. The wide range of altitudes coalition forces will encounter moving from the

ports in Georgia to Azerbaijan will complicate this movement with a wide range of climates

from temperate climate at high altitudes with snow to complicate movement to semi-arid climate

at low altitudes.

(2) (U) Weather. March/April is the wet season for AZ and leads to flooding in the low

areas restricting movement to hardball main supply route/alternate supply routes (MSR/ASRs)

throughout the AO. Late PM and AM fog hampers helicopter operations over river plains and

low ceiling/visibility hampers close air support (CAS) and unmanned aerial surveillance (UAS)

operations. Prior to the start of the rainy season, weather will favor the coalition as the lack of

precipitation, clouds, and high wind will allow the use of both CAS and UAS as force

multipliers. Refer to Annex B (Intelligence).

(a) (U) Effect on Enemy Capabilities. Extremes of temperatures and humidity

coupled with the scarcity of water will have an adverse effect on men and equipment.

(b) (U) Effect on Friendly Courses of Action. Climate and weather will have the same

effect on friendly courses of actions as on the threat. Clear, cloudless skies make air superiority a

prerequisite to successful offensive operations throughout Ahurastan. During the wet season,

flash flooding in streambeds/gullies and across roads will hinder traffic-ability and resupply.

c. (U) Enemy Forces. The Ahurastan Army is organized into various armor/infantry divisions

(12-14 divisions total) and combat support/service support units. Two army level headquarters

have responsibility for the training, sustainment, and operations of these forces, the Theater

Headquarters Command and the Reserve Command. Operationally these forces have been

divided between two Operational Strategic Command (OSC) level headquarters, OSC-W and

OSC-E. Ahurastan, as a breakaway Iranian region, can be expected to use Iranian doctrine and

tactics. The army is equipped with an assortment of equipment. Its armored divisions are

organized around T-80Us and some T-90s, acquired from Russia in 2016, and BMP3s in their

most modern divisions; and several hundred Soviet T-72s in their other units. Artillery pieces

are from both Soviet and Iranian sources. The army also has SS-21s, Scud-Bs, and Shahab-3s in

its inventory. The Reserve Command adds four divisions and three separate brigades after full

mobilization. Full mobilization would require a minimum of 60 days. Refer to Annex B

(Intelligence).

(1) (U) Operational Strategic Command – East (OSC-E). OSC-E is positioned close to

the international border of Azerbaijan and has been conducting extensive brigade level training

within their northern training areas for over two months. There is no indication of a significant

reserve mobilization. Even without reserve mobilization, OSC-E remains capable of conducting

offensive cross-border operations, weather permitting, within 30 days. OSC-E is expected to

have four regular divisions and the best combat systems. It is expected to conduct the main

Ahurastani attack with the objective of isolating BAKU and seizing the KURA RIVER basin oil

facilities.

(a) (U) 77th Mechanized Infantry Division (77th MID) (APC). 77th MID is expected

to conduct a defense in depth with disruption zone NW of the Araks River to the Georgian

border; the battle zone arrayed along the Araks River; and support zone SE of the river within

AO4. Equipment includes T72 Tanks and BTR-80s. By Phase III they are expected to be

significantly attrited to 15% strength.

(b) (U) 88th Tank Division (88th TD) (T-80). 88th TD is expected to conduct a

defense in depth establishing battle zone positions along the KURA River vic. ALI BAYRAMLI

(aka SHIRVAN) (39S UE 21700 21200).

(c) (U) 84th Mechanized Infantry Division (84th MID) (IFV). 84th MID is expected

to be arrayed in OBJ BRAVO in the vicinity of (IVO) PUSHKINO (aka BILASUVAR) (39S TD

89000 70300). Equipment includes T-80 Tanks and BMP-3s. By Phase III they are expected to

be attrited to 55% strength.

(d) (U) 18th Tank Division (18th TD) (T-90). 18th TD is anticipated as the OSC-E

Reserve with estimated 90% strength. Equipment includes T-90 Tanks and BMP-3s. 18th TD

expected location IVO MASALLY (39S TD 99800 21200) to counter-attack coalition forces

(CF).

(e) (U) 407th Amphibious Brigade. 407th Amphibious Brigade retains NE lodgment

in order to fix 1st AZ MECH DIV, threaten BAKU, and draw coalition assets.

(f) (U) Integrated Fires Command – East (IFC-E). IFC equipment includes G5, 2S5,

and 2S3s, MLRS Brigade with FADJR-3 and WM-80s, and Aviation Brigade with both medium

lift and air interdiction capability. By Phase III they are expected to be attrited to 65% strength

and are expected to be arrayed southeast of OBJ Bravo.

(2) (U) South Azeri Peoples’ Army (SAPA). SAPA in coordination with Special Purpose

Forces (SPF) conduct raids and attacks throughout Azerbaijan. Targets will include Azeri

airfields, oil pipelines, lines of communication (LOCs), and logistics. SPF and SAPA will

influence Internally Displaced People (IDP) camps and settlements, particularly those in the west

and central regions causing them to move in order to disrupt Coalition and Azerbaijan

operations. Non-IDP populations will also be influenced to similarly disrupt movement and

burden GOAZ. SAPA will precede the conventional offensive with insurgent attacks in the

NAGORNO-KARABAKH (NK) region hoping to end the UN mission there thus compelling

Azerbaijan to commit its combat forces to that sector.

(3) (U) Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). AH will restrict their WMD attack to

chemical and biological weapons. Chemical weapons will be used to secure the flanks of

penetrations, delay reserve units, and assist AH forces to break contact when they believe they

are decisively engaged. AH forces have very limited nuclear weapons of uncertain reliability and

are not likely to use them except in the case of ensuring the survival of their national

government. AH forces are well trained and equipped for chemical operations but have limited

experience with biological operations and almost no experience in nuclear operations.

d. (U) Friendly Forces.

(1) (U) Higher Headquarters Mission and Intent.

(a) (U) Higher Headquarters Two Levels Up. Joint Task Force (JTF) CASPIAN

GUARD 49991-20.

1. (U) Mission. At the request of GOAZ, JTF CASPIAN executes Flexible

Deterrent Options (FDO) to deter Ahurastan attack against Azerbaijan. On order, JTF CASPIAN

deploys additional forces to the area of operations and takes actions to deter and defend

Azerbaijan territory against an Ahurastan attack; and as required conduct offensive operations to

restore the pre-conflict international borders of Ahurastan and Azerbaijan. In coordination with

(ICW) the Government of Azerbaijan, conducts stability operations, and transitions operations

back to Azerbaijan Defense Forces or other designated authority when directed.

2. (U) Commander’s Intent. Maintain the sovereignty of Azerbaijan and

reestablish the conditions for a secure and stable region. This will require an integrated United

State Government (USG) and international effort to (1) defuse the situation and dissuade

Ahurastan from attacking Azerbaijan. JTF CASPIAN’s immediate contribution to this will be the

rapid deployment of forces to the region to assure our allies and friends, deter Ahurastan

aggression, and respond with military force, if necessary, to defeat Ahurastan. If deterrence fails,

JTF CASPIAN needs to be able to (2) defend Azerbaijan from Ahurastan attack and defeat or

eject Ahurastan forces from Azerbaijan in the event hostilities commence. JTF CASPIAN is the

lead for the immediate U.S. military response. Department of State (DOS) will integrate the

efforts of USG agencies and coordinate a complementary international response. JTF CASPIAN

must collaborate closely with DOS to integrate other agencies’ actions throughout this crisis to

include coordinating with other Agencies to gain insight into the potential use of the other

instruments of national power as a means for flexible deterrent options. If Ahurastan attacks, it is

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED

also imperative to (3) to eliminate Ahurastan's WMD capabilities and stockpiles. If Ahurastan

attacks, JTF CASPIAN must also be prepared to (4) support post-conflict operations in

Azerbaijan. It will be difficult to understand the extent of these efforts in advance. Close

coordination with DOS and the U.S. Embassy (USEMB) will be essential to plan and execute

this successfully.

3. (U) End State. Ahurastan deterred, if not, defeated and its forces withdrawn.

Ahurastan military capabilities degraded so that Ahurastan is no longer a regional threat.

Azerbaijan is a stable democratic government committed to free market economies capable of

protecting its sovereignty.

(b) (U) Higher Headquarters. CFLCC (one level up).

1. (U) Mission. O/O, CFLCC defends Azerbaijan territory and conducts offensive

operations as required to restore pre-conflict international borders of AZ and AH. O/O, conducts

stability operations ICW the Government of Azerbaijan to promote the legitimacy of the GOAZ.

O/O, transitions internal security and stability operations back to AZ or other designated

authority to promote regional stability.

2. (U) Commander’s Intent.

a. (U) Purpose. Enable the legitimate government of Azerbaijan to care for its

people and resources. Provide a credible force to deter Ahurastan from attacking (OPERATION

CASPIAN RESOLVE), or be able to defeat such an attack if it occurs (OPERATION CASPIAN

CHALLENGE). Set the conditions for Azerbaijan’s success by defeating OSC-E, neutralizing

SAPA, make CFLCC capabilities and resources available to national/rayon and local

governments, in order to convince the people of Azerbaijan that their government can and will

protect the people of AZ and their legitimate interests.

b. (U) General. CFLCC forces will conduct operations in four phases: (I)

Deter Ahurastani aggression into Azerbaijan through the build-up of forces into theater, (II)

Seize the initiative by conducting defensive operations in order to set the conditions to assume

the offensive, (III) Dominate the AO by conducting offensive operations to defeat Ahurastan

forces, and (IV) Stabilize Azerbaijan by restoring the international border and re-establishing

security in Azerbaijan to include the establishment of a demilitarized zone and restoration of

essential services to the Azerbaijani population.

3. (U) End State. Ahurastan lacks either the desire or ability to continue its

aggression, SAPA has been marginalized, and coalition forces have transferred all

responsibilities to peacekeeping forces and U.S. Department of State (DOS) (and similar

organizations from coalition nations) and to a legitimate and capable government supported by

all of Azerbaijan.

close air support (CAS), air interdiction (AI), close combat attack (CCA), and field artillery (FA)

with the CLFCC Joint Forces Effects Coordination Cell (JFECC) and Effects Coordinator

(ECOORD) to defeat OSC-E. Key to this operation is the destruction of enemy integrated air

defense systems (IADS) and long-range artillery systems. Division Fires will neutralize remnants

of the 84th MID and neutralize second echelon FS units from the Integrated Fires Command

(IFC) that have moved forward to augment OSC-E. We will use both lethal and non-lethal fires,

AI, CAS, and CCA in order to provide freedom of air movement throughout AO4. We will

maximize use of surface and air delivered precision guided munitions to engage and destroy

High Value Targets (HVTs) throughout AO4. FASCAM is not authorized – release authority

given only by the GOAZ commander. Refer to Annex D (Fires).

f. (U) Scheme of Protection. 4th ID protection efforts will focus on degrading the

effectiveness of AH TBM/cruise missile assets, disrupting SAPA attacks on MSRs/ASRs, and

preventing SAPA/APRA-SOC elements from providing timely information on friendly forces’

disposition / movements. At a minimum, units will integrate air missile defense, survivability,

CBRN early warning, OPSEC, fixed security and active patrolling to protect critical assets.

Sensors are placed to provide early warning of threats. Refer to Annex E (Protection).

(1) (U) Priority of Protection. During Phase I the priority of effort is communications

nodes, counter battery assets, radars and logistics sites. Units focus on active patrolling and

sensors for early warning, fixed security and survivability for final protection of assets. During

Phase II the priority of effort is communications nodes, counter battery assets and radars. Units

reposition sensors to minimize gaps in coverage during maneuver. Plan future moves IOT

position survivability assets to maximize blade time for digging in critical assets. Plan

decontamination sites as required to support continued offensive operations. Active patrolling

continues in the support area. During Phase III the priority of effort is command centers,

communications nodes, logistics assets and radars. Units position sensors to provide early

warning for threats. Units conduct active patrolling and reconnaissance operations IOT identify

potential hazards, provide assured mobility along MSR/ASRs and identify sites for controlling

displaced persons. Refer to Annex C (Operations), Annex E (Protection), and Annex G

(Engineer).

(2) (U) Air and Missile Defense. Forward area air defense and early engagement is

achieved by task organizing Avengers to support maneuver forces, and providing coverage for

the Division’s critical assets providing defense in depth throughout the AO. Sentinel radars are

positioned forward to provide early warning coverage of respective air avenues of approach.

Success is defined as defeating the enemy air reconnaissance before they can identify our array

of forces and HVTs and by destroying enemy air attacks with no more than 5% BDA to friendly

units from enemy air. At the end of the operation we are postured to defeat AH counter-attack.
