Tactics hub

The team at the TASSC is more than happy to add specific requests for tactics videos into our production schedule based on end user requirement. Please contact us for specific requests. 

ISTAR and Organic Fires
Tactic

An Olvanan Platoon can use its drones in multiple roles, including reconnaissance, strike and battle damage assessment.
Route check & surveillance
Tactic

By integrating drones and ground forces, Olvanan Combat Engineers can rapidly execute route checks with the support of drones equipped with multiple sensors.
Red Tiger Front
Tactic

The Red Tiger Front (RTF) is an extreme left-wing anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement active in the US, Europe, and Australia. Though established in its current form in 2005, some of the groups which make up the RTF have been in existence since the immediate post war years. Their recent re-emergence into prominence can be understood as a direct response to the rise of far right populist regimes across the world, as well as violent far right street groups, especially in Western liberal democracies.
Simple Envelopment
Tactic

The simple envelopment is one of Olvana’s penetration tactics. It relies on rapid action, includes the use of feints, and overwhelming fire support.
Complex envelopment
Tactic

The Complex envelopment is a penetration tactic that uses multiple flanking attacks, and overwhelming fire support to overwhelm enemy defences.
Redback Raiders MC
Tactic

The Redback Raiders Motorcycle Club is a criminal organisation using the cover of a motorcycle club to mask its criminal activities. Originally formed in Manilla, South Torbia, the Redback Raiders have formed into a transnational criminal network that is predominantly involved in weapons smuggling and drug trafficking. Chapters can be found across many western nations. Whilst there are many members who only participate in the shared enthusiasm for classic motorcycles, many new members, especially the younger ones are exclusively involved with organised crime.
Thorskrig
Tactic

Thorskrig are an extreme right wing and white supremacist organisation with many chapters located across multiple western nations. They style themselves with Viking iconography and are generally involved with low level arms and drug trafficking, armed robbery and extortion. Their main threat to society resides in their propensity for violence and their propaganda activities to destabilise local authorities with anti-government protests. They have been known to associate with other criminal organisation, especially those with a similar right wing ideology.
Visayan Peoples Front
Tactic

The VPF are an armed insurgent group within Belesia, specifically the islands of Panay, Negros, Cebu and Bohol. They are predominantly a Christian based organisation, unhappy with the Islamification of key islands in Belesia. They are responsible for terrorist attacks against the Belesian Government and have been known to conduct kidnap for ransom, political assassinations, sabotage and extortion. They also conduct non-kinetic actions such as infiltration of key community organisations such as student groups and labour organisations to enable propaganda to support their cause for an independent secular state.
Frontal Attack
Tactic

The Frontal attack is focused on a narrow terrain frontage, concentrates all resources on where the enemy is strongest, and aims to force a rapid breakthrough of enemy defences.
Op Silent Spectrum
Tactic

Operation Silent Spectrum is a counter-intelligence training case exploring how Olvana’s Ministry of National Security exploited a U.S. defence engineer to obtain classified radar technology. The operation showcases the use of HUMINT, social engineering, and financial coercion to breach an advanced stealth program. It highlights how personal vulnerabilities can be weaponised to compromise national security. This case underscores the critical need for vigilance, digital hygiene, and proactive insider threat detection.
OP Quiet Vector
Tactic

This educational case study analyses the unresolved death of Czech reform advocate Emil Kovač as an example of contemporary deniable state action. The video examines the use of Olvanan proxy actors, commercial intermediaries, and information control within a hybrid operating environment. The case highlights how ambiguity, attribution lag, and narrative management can constrain legal and political response, offering insight into the evolving nature of covert influence and sub-threshold coercion in modern international affairs.
Socialist Student League
Tactic

The Socialist Student League, otherwise known as the SSL, was originally a university club first registered at the Portland State University in Portland, Oregon in 1994. Its stated aims were to provide a space for like-minded students to discuss socialist-Marxist ideas and organise activism. It has since expanded into many chapters at various university and college campuses across many western countries. The SSL now considers itself as a revolutionary anti-capitalist organisation that organises protests against Western imperialism whilst supporting other socially progressive issues. Whilst the majority of the SSL members are simply earnest left-leaning students, there is an extremist element within the organisation which openly pursues violent action against those deemed to be ‘fascists’, as well as provoking police violence at demonstrations and protests as part of a broader-based information campaign to show state authorities in the light of oppressors. Many local law enforcement agencies keep a close eye on the SSL as they are a likely vector for suspected Olvanan influence and espionage activities.

Olvanan Friendship Society Thumbnail
Tactic

The Olvanan Friendship Society (OFS) is at the surface level, just a collection of local community organisations spread across major urban centres throughout the western world. Whilst not overtly subject to central control, the near identical structure of each local chapter, coupled with close dealings with Olvanan diplomatic establishments within their host countries, indicates that the OFS is at least connected and possibly funded in part by the Olvanan Communist Party (OCP). The stated mission of the OFS is to serve the interests and needs of the Olvanan diaspora. These services include language training and translation, personal finance, legal services, advocacy, and social contact for isolated individuals, particularly new migrants. Whilst the OFS is generally a benign organisation helping the Olvanan diaspora overseas and fostering cultural understanding, it can be used as a vector by the OCP for espionage and influence activities.
