*Operation Frostbite: The Battle of Snow Flats*
In the frozen expanse of Snow Flats, a remote plain in the Rockies, a rogue American private military company, Iron Fang PMC, had seized a decommissioned armory, capturing ten M1A2 Abrams tanks and a stockpile of munitions. Led by ex-Colonel Marcus Vayne, a disgraced officer with a grudge against the U.S. military, Iron Fang planned to sell the tanks to a foreign buyer. The U.S. Army’s 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, equipped with M1A2 SEP v3 Abrams, was tasked with neutralizing the threat before the tanks could be moved. It was February 3, 2026, and a blizzard was forecast to hit within hours.
**Intelligence**:
**Enemy Composition**: 10 M1A2 Abrams (older models, no SEP v3 upgrades), supported by light infantry and one TOW missile-equipped Humvee. Iron Fang occupied a low ridge near the armory, with tanks in hull-down positions
**Plan**:
1. **Phase 1 - Reconnaissance and Shaping**: Use the drone to locate enemy positions and confirm tank emplacements. Paladins would suppress infantry and disrupt command.
2. **Phase 2 - Main Assault**: Divide Alpha Company:
**Task Force Hammer**: Seven Abrams, advancing directly to engage and fix the enemy.
**Task Force Anvil**: Five Abrams, flanking via a concealed eastern ridge.
3. **Phase 3 - Exploitation**: Bradleys secure the armory while tanks eliminate remaining threats. Drone monitors for enemy retreat.
4. **Contingency**: If the blizzard hits early, rely on thermal optics; Bradleys hold key chokepoints.
**Key Considerations**:
Iron Fang’s Abrams lacked APS and had outdated fire control, giving Alpha Company an edge.
Snowdrifts offered concealment but risked mobility.
The TOW Humvee was a priority target to neutralize anti-tank threats.

The Battle
*0430 Hours - Phase 1: Reconnaissance and Shaping*
In pre-dawn darkness, the Gray Eagle drone scanned Snow Flats, its infrared sensors cutting through the snowfall. It spotted eight enemy Abrams on the ridge, with two in reserve near the armory. The TOW Humvee was positioned 400 meters behind the ridge. The Paladin battery, 8 km south, fired a salvo of 155mm shells, targeting the enemy command post. The barrage disrupted Iron Fang’s radios, while smoke rounds reduced their visibility.
Captain Elena Torres, commanding Alpha Company, finalized her plan. Task Force Hammer would advance in a wedge to draw fire, while Task Force Anvil used a snow-filled ravine for cover. Bradleys would trail Hammer, ready to counter infantry.
*0500 Hours - Phase 2: Main Assault*
Task Force Hammer moved forward, tracks grinding through snow. The seven Abrams formed a 300-meter-wide wedge, spaced 40 meters apart to minimize multi-hits. At 1,000 meters, their thermal optics locked onto enemy tanks. Torres ordered, “Fire!” A volley of sabot rounds destroyed two Iron Fang Abrams, their turrets erupting in flames.
Iron Fang fired back, but their older M1A2s struggled in the snow, missing most shots. Hammer’s superior armor and APS deflected incoming rounds. Meanwhile, Task Force Anvil, led by Lieutenant Sam Carver, advanced through the eastern ravine, guided by drone updates confirming the enemy’s focus on Hammer.
At 0510, the TOW Humvee emerged, aiming for Hammer’s flank. Torres called in a Paladin strike, and a 155mm shell destroyed the Humvee. With the anti-tank threat gone, Hammer pressed to 700 meters, knocking out two more Abrams.
Anvil reached its position 500 meters east of the ridge. Carver’s five tanks crested the ridge, hitting three enemy tanks in their vulnerable side armor. The coordinated strike left Iron Fang’s line in disarray. The remaining ridge tanks tried to pivot, but Hammer’s advance kept them pinned.
*0600 Hours - Phase 3: Exploitation*
With seven enemy tanks down, the two reserve Abrams fled north. The drone tracked them, and Torres sent two Hammer tanks in pursuit. Using thermals, they disabled both at 900 meters. Bradleys stormed the armory, their 25mm guns neutralizing Iron Fang’s infantry. By 0615, resistance collapsed, and Vayne was captured.
*0630 Hours - Aftermath*
The blizzard hit, dropping visibility to near zero. Alpha Company secured the armory, recovering the munitions. No friendly tanks were lost, though one had track damage. The operation succeeded through superior tech, terrain use, and precise coordination.
**Lessons Learned**:
Thermal optics and APS were critical in low visibility.
The Hammer-Anvil split enabled decisive flanking.
Drone-artillery synergy eliminated key threats early.
Operation Frostbite demonstrated Alpha Company’s tactical prowess, securing Snow Flats as the blizzard raged. (Word count: 450)
