Piledriver will retaliate against the Naval incursion into the Kansas system utilizing the entirety of Battlegroup Gladius. This operation is critical to the survival of the Insurgency as a whole, and requires all forces to engage precisely as directed. This operation will be active from February 4th, 829A.S. until further notice.

There will be no setup for this operation. All Task Forces will respond as directed to ensure maximum coverage.

Task Force WARHAMMER will be redeployed to FORT RILEY to withstand the coming assault. They will hold their ground within the Arkansas field, reinforced by secondary assets from Vespucci.

Task Force GLADIUS will be recalled to Kansas and will operate on guerilla assaults. Scouts report that the Navy will be planning to utilize siege weapons like they did with Marshall and Freeport 2, and likely what they did with Mulvane, which plays right into this. GLADIUS' primary objective will be to inflict as much damage to the enemy's siege machines as possible before they make it within range of RILEY.

Task Force LANCER will be recalled to Pennsylvania, and will move to engage the Ohio with guerilla attacks from the Meadville field. Xeno activity may hinder the operation here; If the security of the operation is threatened, LANCER will coordinate alongside TF BROADSWORD and await further orders.

Task Force BROADSWORD will be recalled to Pennsylvania, and will move to engage Navy assets within the Pennsylvania system. With the Ohio so far out of position, and no relevant Navy detachments detected, BROADSWORD will aim to inflict heavy casualties to Naval positions within Pennsylvania. Once Ohio makes its move, further orders will be sent.

Gladius secondary units will be granted operational flexibility, and will assist Gladius as operations allow.

Success will depend on the amount of damage inflicted upon both assaulting Navy and defending Insurgency forces.
This operation will be supported by Battlegroup HARMONY where applicable.

Piledriver will make use of the following task forces, vessels, equipment, special personnel and access codes:

• Task Force GLADIUS
  
• Task Force WARHAMMER
  
• Task Force LANCER
  
• Task Force BROADSWORD
  

The current status of this operation is:

This operation has not had a decided outcome yet, as it is still currently underway.

The Navy has somehow managed to breach Vespucci, despite projections and evidence towards the contrary. Fort Riley has fallen, and there has been no sign of the Harmony on the field. Piledriver has therefore been upgraded to a CLASS OMEGA operation.

CLASS OMEGA protocols have been engaged. This operation is now in full effect.

Task Force WARHAMMER will barricade at VERACRUZ and take charge of the planetary defense. All secondary Insurgency units will follow WARHAMMER directive. Retreat is not authorized.

Task Force GLADIUS will retain operational flexibility, and will strike at Naval front lines when opportunities arise. CRAYTER territorial access will be granted for extraneous operations; GLADIUS will oversee the evacuation of Veracruz's civilian population.

Task Force LANCER will move to Kansas and strike at Naval supply lines. LANCER is not permitted to engage Ohio directly; Operational protocols may change. If operational integrity is compromised, LANCER will coordinate alongside TF BROADSWORD.

Task Force BROADSWORD will move to Kansas and engage backline units reinforcing the Navy advance. Omega protocol has been engaged; Naval survivors will be shot.

Battlegroup HARMONY will support Gladius operations where applicable. Task Force HARMONY will assist WARHAMMER in defense of Veracruz. Retreat is not authorized.

Piledriver will make use of the following task forces, vessels, equipment, special personnel and access codes:

• Task Force GLADIUS
  
• Task Force WARHAMMER
  
• Task Force LANCER
  
• Task Force BROADSWORD
  
• Battlegroup HARMONY - EMERGENCY ACCESS
