SITUATION Enemy Forces (S/NATO) Although the city of STOCKHOLM itself has been shattered by Soviet nuclear missiles, the enemy forces near STOCKHOLM include 336th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade (UPPSALA), 76th Guards Airborne Division (ARBOGA), 125th Tank Battalion (KATRINEHOLM), and 317th Naval Infantry Battalion (NYKÖPING). These units are understrength and consist mainly of light infantry with few serviceable armored fighting vehicles. Nearby units to the south include 318th Naval Infantry Battalion (NORRKÖPING), 1st Guards Motor-Rifle Division (LINKÖPING), and 131st Pechenga Motor-Rifle Division (VÄSTERVIK). (S/NATO) The enemy’s Capabilities include defensive positions in their cantonment areas. They might have increased supplies of ammunition and prepared additional fighting positions over the winter. Enemy Limitations include understrength units weakened by continued combat against Swedish partisans, insufficient food and fuel, poor communications, lack of air cover, no direct land supply routes, and a doctrinal tendency toward low-momentum operations. (S/NATO) The enemy’s most likely Course of Action (EMLCOA) is to hold and defend.
