With the ultranationalists on the back foot and only 4km's of enemy territory remains on the southern peninsula of the mainland. The rest are reinforced to the east across the maring bay.

Mission

Tasking

PRIMARY TASKING

Our primary tasking this evening is to push the enemy completely of the southern penisula by taking out a known logistics position stationed 4 clicks south of our current. It is suspected to be a main depot for amphibious armour units. Our extended tasking should we be successful is to continue the pressure by pushing east, over maring bay towards a further installation identified by prior intellience, and to establish control on the east side of the bay for further operations.

Execution

Tasks and Sequencing

Starting from FOB Singer, UNITAF will be inserted by M113 to 3 initial insertion points marked as IP1 2 clicks south our current. Where the platoon will advance south in a platoon line formation assaulting directly into identified enemy territory. Movement should be calculated and controlled, and platoon callsigns should remain aware of the furtherest advanced position to avoid friendly fire and to allow mortar teams to fire to full effect.

1. ASSAULT TO AND DESTROY ENEMY ARMOR DEPOT - PRIMARY
2. GAIN FOOTHOLD EAST OF MARING BAY - NEUTRALISING ENEMY STRONGHOLD - PRIMARY
