The Stock Campaign and Missions
The two stock campaigns cover two periods of the Afghan wars - the beginning phase (1980-1982) and the later years of highest activity and most intense hostilities, 1985-1987. The tactics are different for these periods – during the first stage of the war, the mujahedeen forces attempted to fight against the Soviet Army and the Army of the DRA (Democratic Republic of Afghanistan) on “equal footing”. Later on, the mujahedeen realized that these tactics would not lead to success and they turned to guerrilla actions.
Campaign 1: Soviet Invasion
1980-1982. This campaign is dedicated to the 108th Motor Rifle Division, located in Kabul and Bagram. The 10 linked missions include clean-up operations, defensive assignments and escort duties in the Kabul, Kandagar, Parwan and other provinces.
Campaign 2: Bloody days
1985-1987. This campaign is dedicated to the 70th Motor Rifle Brigade, located in Kandagar, and is including assault, ambush and clean-up operations in the area.
Stand-alone missions
Ten stand-alone missions round out the stock missions, and include escort duties, clean-up operations, ambushes and night time assaults in the Helmand, Kunduz, Parwan, Nangarhar, Beglan and other provinces between 1981 and 1988.
