--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
With the main enemy artillery battery in the northern front successfully destroyed by the paratrooper platoon, they in desperate need of reinforcements and relief. Battalion HQ has deemed this an ideal opportunity to initiate a pre-planned large-scale counteroffensive through the British sector of Rosche to penetrate deep into the enemy positions that have long held the north. A troop of RAC Challenger tanks have been tasked with spearheading this assault, supported by additional infantry, logistical and medical personnel. Attention This ORBAT is taking part in a CSIP Leadership Trial of British Squad Structures which removes the 1st Fireteam Leader entirely. Squad Leaders will lead the 1st Fireteam and the radio structure will be different. Squad Leaders will be required to attend a pre-briefing for the CSIP and during the mission briefing test information will be outlined.

BISHOP 4-1 and 4-2 will sustain BISHOP 2 on re-capture of Testorf and setup staging positions in Testorf. PHASE 1 KNIGHT covers the open ground providing support for enemy armoured units while ROOK 3 maneuvers to Schlagte to establish control of the village. ROOK 1 will move north to intercept the railway, destroying an enemy supply train with their combat engineer and then move east to utilise terrain to assault and establish control in the town of Hagen, ROOK 2 will join the assault once combat ready and support ROOK 1 with establishing control. ROOK 1 and ROOK 2 will secure Hagen, meeting ROOK 3 in Hagen after their sector is under control. BISHOP 4-1 and 4-2 will support manevers as required through ROOK 8. ROOK 1 and ROOK 3 have combat engineers to deal with the train and any other demolition requirements.
