Execution

Commander's Intent
In order to support the battle in Novaya Petrovka, STARLIGHT will move to the south of Grishino in order to do a quick patrol through town to verify reports that it has been cleared & evacuated by civilians, before moving East then North to the Chateau du Diable to clear out the castle and garrison. Once this has been acheived STARLIGHT will re-orient north-by-northwest to secure a small town on the enemy's main reinforcement route to the east flank of Novaya Petrovka, putting themselves into position to deal with any response from enemy forces.

Tasks and Sequencing
STARLIGHT will mount their designated vehicles at airbase Sakums and proceed south along the MSR before cutting east cross-country to reach another MSR, where they will travel north towards Grishino. 200m South of Grishino at waypoint Alpha (WP Alpha) - STARLIGHT 1-1 and 1-2 will dismount and proceed to clear through the town travelling North East with an element on each side of the MSR, while [vehicle callsigns] hold the line down the MSR During this clearing of the town Team Leads are authorised to take any doors they deem necessary and leave buildings that do not arouse suspicion. STARLIGHT 1-1 and 1-2 will reconvene with the vehicles on the northeast T-junction marked RV Alpha, mount up and head at high speed east along the MSR then north with the aim of getting to waypoint bravo and dismounting before being engaged by any patrols or enemy forces en route to the castle. At WP Bravo all callsigns will dismount and move as quickly as possible through the forest to the southeasternmost castle entrance. Once the breach has begun STARLIGHT callsigns will receive tasking as per the developing situation, [vehicle callsigns] will move into position to cover & secure the flanks of the castle as STARLIGHT pushes through inside to prevent any attempts from the enemy to encircle us. When the castle is secure all forces will mount up and proceed back south, then west via Grishino, and then north, before heading east along the main MSR coming from Novaya Petrovka until we find a small town along it, which we are to secure and then prepare for any incoming enemy QRF aiming to disrupt the battle going on in Novaya Petrovka.
