TASK FORCE CARENTAN

Information & Applications Below

PLEASE READ:

Application to Task Force Carentan (TFC) is open to both primary and secondary LSF units. If you would like to apply, reading the Operational Details section is not necesary, but reading the Rules of Engagement section is.

Summary

Task Force Carentan (TFC) is a limited deployment of LSF units to Tau space. The Task Force is a branch of the Department of Tactical Operations. It's main purpose there is for the collection of data and the establishment of intelligence assets with factions who hold a stake in the Tau region. The Gallic Royal Navy is the main target of LSF operations there.

Currently we do not have permission from the Colonial Republic to use their Carrier Hades as a forward operating base but we are lobbying to have this approved by the Republic in exchange for all intelligence we collect. For now, all TFC units are to launch operations from within Liberty space.

We have received confirmation that TFC units have been given authorisation to use a hangar of the Colonial Republic's Carrier Hades in the Tau-39. As the system primarily belongs to the IMG, all units are expected not to dock on any IMG bases. Furthermore, make sure you are not being followed by any forces hostile to the CR when docking with the Hades, as the location of the Carrier must remain a secret. Make sure your reputation with the Colonial Military IFF has been set to friendly.

Operational Details

Approves intelligence collection on all Gallic forces (Gallic Royal Navy, Gallic Royal Police, Gallic corporations). We will be collecting information of Gallic military installations such as GRN battleships and military bases in the Tau region. Gallic Forces includes Gallic corporations as they assist the Gallic military forces. This would also present an opportunity to recruit intelligence sources within these said Gallic organisations within the Tau region.
Allows Task Force Carentan to conduct surgical strikes and other military operations of violent nature with the pre-approval and authorization of =LSF= Directorate/High Command. No violent operations are to be conducted independently by any LSF officer in Tau space. LSF officers will be authorized to carry weapons but only use them in self-defense, never for launching attacks.
Acknowledges the presence of the Outcast criminal organization in Tau space and authorizes LSF forces deployed in Tau space to begin collection of intelligence regarding cardamine trade routes into the Republic of Liberty. Once again, violence is only to be used in self defence.
Establishes Task Force Carentan as a Quick Reaction Force (QRF) capable of responding to emergencies within Bretonia (specifically at Leeds) from the Taus to assist the BAF with defending their territory against Gallic forces. Once LSF forces enter Bretonia from the Taus, their Rules of Engagement (ROE) will change as per previous agreements and treaties made between Liberty and Bretonia.
Instructs the LSF to keep watch and report any Nomad activity in the Tau region.
Does not authorize the deployment of any LSF capital ships (including gunboats) in the Tau region to preserve secrecy
Encourages the cooperation between the Bretonian Intelligence Services, Colonial Intelligence Services and the Gallic Council Intelligence through methods such as intelligence sharing and/or joint operations. This proposal recognizes that all these organizations have a stake in the fate of the Tau region.

Rules of Engagement (RoE)

No LSF forces are authorized to fire their weapons, whether it is a sidearm or a ship weapon. LSF forces must never fire first, even upon sighting a Nomad.
LSF forces are only allowed to fire their weapons in self-defense. This must constitute a hostile force firing upon LSF units first, before LSF forces fire back. If a Nomad does not fire upon LSF units first, then LSF forces must stand down, even if it is a Nomad.
LSF must respect the laws of the Colonial Republic when in the Coronado space, though LSF forces will maintain diplomatic immunity (the details of which will be discussed with the Colonial Republic)
LSF assets are instructed to ‘keep their distance’ from all hostile forces to prevent any engagement from beginning. Refer to Clause No.2 for instructions on what to do if an engagement occurs.
All LSF forces are restricted from docking on IMG bases

Application

Name:
Rank (only for =LSF=):
Primary or Secondary fleet (=LSF= or independent):
Please explain the Rules of Engagement in your own words (does NOT have to be lengthy):

Roster:

Head of TFC:
Captain John Major (Coordinator, =LSF=)

Lieutenant-Commander David Goat (Agent, =LSF=)

Other Units Authorised to deploy in the Taus:
Norman O'Connor (Advisor, =LSF=)
Daniyal Altaf (Agent, =LSF=)
Robert Wood (Agent, =LSF=)
John Sheppard (AiT, =LSF=)

Other Information:
TFC is a unit where we share information with the Colonial Intelligence Service. All TFC agents are instructed to post intel reports on the Taus on both the =LSF= operational data network and the CIS encrypted communications network, which can be found here.

Name: Daniyal Altaf
Rank: Lieutenant Commander.
Primary or Secondary fleet: Primary Fleet.
Please explain the Rules of Engagement in your own words:

1)We aren't allowed to fire our weapons,only in self-defense.

2)We have to respect the laws of the Colonial Republic.

COMM ID: Agent Robert Wood
TARGET ID: Task Force Carentan
SUBJECT: Task Force Carentan application
ENCRYPTION: Strong
PRIORITY: Medium

Name: Robert Wood
Rank: Agent
Primary or Secondary fleet: Primary
Please explain the Rules of Engagement in your own words:
1) Never attack any kind of entity.
2) Except in self defence. Although, it's best to flee from an engagement wherever possible. Exploding ships aren't very low profile.
3) Since Coronado is the sovereign space of another republic, their laws apply there for the remainder of our stay, and we are to follow them to avoid political arguing and headaches.
4) Being spotted and chased around by hostile forces only boycotts the safety of our operations. Secrecy is vital, so avoiding hostiles is a high priority (except when collecting intelligence, obviously).
5) Even though I wouldn't know why, it's pretty straightforward. No docking allowed with IMG owned station.

I'm going to guess that IMG Tau stations are frequented by our enemies as well, in which case being on the ground as someone who will want us dead is a bad idea. If I'm wrong and I missed a memo about this, I'd like to be informed of the reason behind this guideline.

Signed, Robert Wood.

Agent Robert Wood, we are not to dock on IMG bases as we do not want the Gallic Royal Navy to discover some rather inconvenient alliances they have.

Back to your application, it has been approved.

Rank (only for =LSF=): AIT
Primary or Secondary fleet (=LSF= or independent): Primary
Please explain the Rules of Engagement in your own words (does NOT have to be lengthy):

1. Not much of a covert intelligence gathering ops, if we go around shooting people and causing to much attention to our presence.

2. Not blow our cover at all costs, and not risk getting into any conflicts unless it's an absolute must and all other options have been
exhausted before resorting to engagement. We're in their turf, and we won't be doing no good if we cause trouble.

3. There's nothing to talk about here, since agents won't be causing any trouble. But, diplomatic immunity is in place just in case that something goes wrong.. It's good to remember that we're on the same sides in this.

4. Avoid trouble, and there won't be any trouble. It's our job to take a look, but not to get exposed.

5. We wouldn't want people to get ideas....

1. The less noise we make, the less anyone can hear us. Keeping a low profile is esential.
2. Same as before, keep it cool and only shoot in case of emergency.
3. We are not in Libertonian space so our laws don't apply. The immunity is there in case something goes severely wrong.
4. Try to avoid even the possibility of a fire-fight.
5. To avoid any unknown eyes seeing us.

-Harkness out.
