Tasks and Sequencing
Phase 1 will be inserting into the mountaineous AO at either LZ Crumpet or LZ Biscuit. Dragonfly 5-2 and Hitman will be inserting ASAP to conduct recon As Guardian moves to the first 2 Camps, Hitman will provide Overwatch and strike targets of opportunity. Phase 2 will consist of reinserting to LZ Jaffa and clearing the Oasis. Phase 3 will see Guardian taking out one of the last Taliban positions in the area.
