--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
After weeks of stagnation on the front line, British Commanders devise a plan to sabotage enemy positions during the night. If successful we will join our armoured columns to assault the main enemy garrison outside Monthene at sunrise. For now, we are ordered to cross no-mans-land undetected. Each of our Squads must destroy a key objective in time to allow a breakthrough on the front-line. This ORBAT is part of the Leadership CSIP, there are no 1st Fireteam Leaders as the Squad Leader also takes this position.

Friendly Forces
1x Command Unit 3x Infantry Sections

Supporting Assets
Armoured columns are standing by to conduct an assault.

Enemy Forces
German forces are not deeply entrenched on this flank, most of the fighting is happening north on Montherme, while we have the element of surprise, we can only expect patrols, support units and forces at half readiness.

Mission

Tasking
Our mission is to create a diversionary attack on the Wehrmacht support units on the eastern flank of Montherme to allow a full scale assault to take place in the morning, by sabotaging key Wehrmacht positions, we will give our forces the best chance of success.

End-state
Successfully sabotage all 3 objectives and regroup with Command
