Tasks and Sequencing

Method of entry

Ingress will be conducted via one of the marked Routes- A or B, with aerial recon providing insight into the most suitable route. Enemy light infantry patrols have been seen scattered around the area S-E of Kinduf; movement will be conducted as a rapid push-through assault toward initial taskings. Badger callsigns will be attached with infantry squads as follows: BADGER 1 - BANDIT 1 BADGER 2 - BANDIT 2 BADGER 9 - HITMAN 1 BADGER 3 - HITMAN 2 Convoy will be ordered: BANDIT PLT - TITAN COYCO - BISHOP - BLACKSMITH - HITMAN PLT

Phase 1

Initial transit to objectives and capture of first sectors- aim is to assault both Sector 1 and Sector 2 simultaneously. Dismount points will be designated by the Plt leaders communicating with their attached vehicles, aiming for some point near AP Kite. Bandit will assault S1- preferably from the North however if route B is used then Bandit may assault from both North and South according to Plt discretion. Hitman will move straight to S2 and begin their assault. Blacksmith, Bishop and Titan will hold Point Hawk as a defensive position until the first enemy sectors are clear.

Phase 2

Continuation of sector clearance. Aim in Phase 2 is for Sectors 3 - 6. Bandit will move up to S4 to deal with the industrial sector before working through the structures in S6. Hitman will continue clearance of sectors bordering their initial one- S3 and S5. Hitman may be on standby for assistance with the denser S6 on Bandit's side. LCPs will be set up (and marked on shared tacmaps), out of which Blacksmith and Bishop will operate.

Phase 3

Further sector clearance aiming for sectors 7 - 10. S8 being across open ground may necessitate mounted transit to AP Vulture. Hitman is expected to be assigned to this sector though may be tasked with first assisting Bandit should Phase 2 prove to take longer for Bandit than Hitman. The Kinduf urban area will be assigned based on progress of the company. S11 is a stretch objective to clear out and will prioritise preservation of medical infrastructure.
