Situation

Background Information

US and YNA High command have planned a combined offensive to stop the attack in its tracks before it can start. US elements are tasked with taking pushing trough IS Fortified positions into the enemy staging area, whilst the YNA will execute a offensive to our SW to stop any forces that have past our assigned AO.

Mission

Tasking

Execution

Commander's Intent
Simply, our motorised platoon will conduct a rapid assault across several objectives in AO Ash, dismantling staging areas and enemy equipment in order to pre-empt their attack. Should we complete our objectives in good time we will consider a further push into AO Brock or AO Misty.

Tasks and Sequencing
Phase 1 will consist of initial transit to PLT RV1, a temporary pause whilst we attain initial recce, then rapid assault on the part of the infantry up to Staging area Alpha, with Trident 1 securing North and Trident 2 securing South. Any exterior threats or enemy positions to be cleaned up prior to Phase 2. In Phase 2 we will proceed SW in the direction of the enemy defences around Karift. Should the enemy frontline prove to be difficult we may divert further West during ingress, depending on situation at the time. Squads will clear Karift methodically through each marked sector. Both squads expected to be flexible in tasking of sectors. On initial contact sectors A,D,E will be cleared by Trident 1, with Trident 2 clearing B,C with the Mosque. Upon Phase complete, medical assistance and supply to be handled around PLT RV2. For Phase 3, platoon will first recce and assault Staging area B, before hitting Mayankel and the associated Staging C and Stronghold. Assigning of tasking and sectors will take place in-operation depending on element status. Throughout, Shelldrake remain on support for the infantry and will orient themselves in best position to do so, whilst remaining on standby to shift fire/ sector cover if required.
