Tasking-Main OBJ: drive Taliban from sector and create safe passage for ANA Convoys -Side OBJ: find and secure lost ANA Convoys and equipment Should retrieval of equipment not be easily possible, demolition is permitted
End-state
-Secure Sector upheld -Main Taliban presence eliminated
Execution
Commander's IntentThe purpose of this mission is to secure free passage for ANA convoys moving along the corridor east of Dilshad. This involves eliminating Taliban presence in this area. Decisive to this operation is the establishment of control at hill 2160 (grid figures 121-117), Hill 2453 (grid figures 118-112), and Hill 2140 (grid figures 123-107). The control of these hills is supported by securing Objective "Buzzard", Objective "Chicken" and Objective "Goose".
Tasks and Sequencing



Administration/Logistics
ResupplyBERSERKER is asked to be ready for foot movements and clearance of fortifications along mountainous terrain. Leaders must keep in mind, though, that LOGPAKs might be restricted due to high IED probability along key roads. All elements are, for this reason, asked to send requests for LOGPAK early. Initial position for logistical elements will be DISMOUNT EAGLE.
Medical
Ground-based CMT STARLIGHT is available throughout this operation for support. Do note, however, that STARLIGHT's movement might be restricted due to high IED probability along key roads. Initial position for the CMT will be DISMOUNT EAGLE.
Rules of Engagement
Due to the presence of civilians as well as potential remnants of missing ANA convoys, all elements are asked to ensure positive ID before engaging potential targets. Enemy caches are to be blown up, though considerations to civilian infrastructure must be made when possible.
