This operation displayed exemplary execution of controlled aggression, surgical breaching, and strategic asset repurposing. Enemy forces were decisively defeated, and TFV’s coordination with VDF showcased seamless allied cooperation in an active zone.

POI 006’s successful clearing and transfer sets a precedent for future joint operations involving recovered enemy assets. VDF has acknowledged receipt of all equipment and expressed intent to redistribute captured ordnance to frontline QRF units.
