Mission

Tasking

End-state

Execution

Commander's Intent
The purpose of this mission is to defeat enemy opposition in the Area of Operations in order to enable further offensive movements towards Grabin.

Tasks and Sequencing
The operation will be conducted in four phases: PHASE GREEN, PHASE BLUE, PHASE AMBER, and PHASE RED. PHASE GREEN commences as soon as BLUFOR crosses the Line of Departure. Other phases commence upon crossing the relevant phase lines. During all phases, the 6th Airborne Brigade will engage enemy contacts close to objective SHEPHERD in a feint attack in order to draw attention away from Delta’s offensive actions.

ASSEMBLY

DELTA 1: Prepare for both NAI001 and OBJ BULLDOG prior to proper LOGPAK. Allocated Rosomaks may be filled with some ammunition for resupply. Primary LOGPAK is to be provided by BISHOP. DELTA 2: Prepare for both NAI001 and OBJ BULLDOG prior to proper LOGPAK. Allocated Rosomaks may be filled with some ammunition for resupply. Prioritise AT resupply. Primary LOGPAK is to be provided by BISHOP. BERSERKER: Following are the vehicle allocations: Berserker 3-0: Delta 1-0, 1-1 Berserker 3-1: Delta 1-0, 1-2 Berserker 3-2: Delta 2 BISHOP: Prepare RRR for Berserker. Prepare LOGPAKs for DELTA. BISHOP will not follow main movement in Phase Green.

PHASE GREEN

Commences: Crossing Line of Departure Complete: Upon reaching PHASE LINE BLUE Key tasks: - Secure ASLT APPLE - Support-by-fire - Investigate NAI 001. - Set up along PHASE LINE BLUE SEQUENCING 1. The platoon moves along MSR to BP BLUEBERRY. At BP BLUEBERRY, surroundings are scanned for enemies. 2. If deemed safe, continues movement to ASLT APPLE, where infantry dismounts. 3. Then: A. BERSERKER moves back to BP BLUEBERRY, then to BP MANGO if and when safe to do so, with task SUPPORT-BY-FIRE. B. DELTA moves to NAI 001 with task SEIZE. IF movement from BP BLUEBERRY to ASLT APPLE is considered unsafe, infantry instead dismounts at BP blueberry and follows the briefed alternative route. Delta: Ensure good usage of cover and concealment. Do not lose concealment towards the northwest. Berserker: BP Mango should provide some overwatch into NAI 001. RELEVANT INTEL

PHASE BLUE

Commences: Crossing PHASE LINE BLUE Complete: Upon reaching PHASE LINE AMBER Key tasks: Support-by-fire Investigate NAI 002 – low priority Seize NAI 003 – high priority Set up along PHASE LINE AMBER Battle positions are approximate. BP PEAR, whilst somewhat exposed, may provide some visual along the main MSR through Sitnik. BP LIME provides adequate overwatch in the direction of OBJ COLLIE, with limited vision into Sitnik. SEQUENCING 1. The platoon crosses PHASE LINE BLUE and: A. DELTA 1 follows their assigned route east of the ASR to enter the forest and holds at HILL 235 momentarily until SBF is ready. B. DELTA 2 makes its way to BP PEAR undetected and establishes a SBF position. C. BERSERKER establishes a SBF position at BP LIME. D. BISHOP makes its way and sets up LRP at NAI 001. 2. Once SBF is established: A. DELTA 2 and BERSERKER open fire at enemy targets B. DELTA 1 clears Objective BULLDOG in the direction of NAI 003. 3. When and if required: A. BERSERKER moves to BP PEAR once BP LIME becomes inappropriate for tasking. B. DELTA 2 moves from BP PEAR into the objective to assist Delta 1 clearing. DELTA: Unlikely that all buildings will require full clearing – use good judgement. BERSERKER: Avoid entering the objective itself, except in emergency situations or after the objective has been cleared, due to high RPG risk. RELEVANT INTEL

PHASE AMBER

Commences: Crossing PHASE LINE AMBER Complete: Upon reaching PHASE LINE RED Key tasks: Support-by-fire Seize NAI OBJECTIVE COLLIE SEQUENCING 1. BERSERKER, at BP PEAR or other improved position, provides SBF. 2. DELTA moves along designated route. Then: A. DELTA 1 continues movement towards appropriate entry points B. DELTA 2 sets up a new battle position closer to the compound and provides SBF. 3. DELTA 1 seizes OBJECTIVE COLLIE. 4. Upon seizing OBJ COLLIE, or once appropriate: A. DELTA 2 moves up and sets up new battle position with overwatch of the ASR between Borek and Sitnik. B. BERSERKER assumes new positions to ensure good SBF as the element moves into the next phase. BP Orange is a suggestion. Delta: Ensure good usage of cover and concealment. Do not lose concealment towards the north. Berserker: BP ORANGE is in an open field, but terrain elevation should provide good initial hull-down positions. Expect to move parallel to ground forces in PHASE RED. No vision into Borek from BP Orange. RELEVANT INTEL

PHASE RED

Commences: Crossing PHASE LINE RED Complete: Upon reaching LOA Key tasks: Support-by-fire Investigate NAI 004 Clear OBJ SHEPHERD SEQUENCING 1. Upon initiation of PHASE RED: A. DELTA moves along its route. B. BERSERKER creeps up in parallel. 2. DELTA seizes NAI 004. 3. Upon seizure of NAI 004, A. DELTA 1 clears south and southeast of NAI 004. B. DELTA 2 clears southwest of NAI 004. 4. Upon seizure of objective SHEPHERD: A. DELTA 1 secures western flank. B. DELTA 2 secures northwestern flank. C. BERSERKER secures northern flank. Delta: Ensure good usage of cover and concealment on approach. Do not lose concealment towards the north. Berserker: Green box may provide good overwatch into Borek as well as approach avenues from north, northwest and west at the cost of good cover. RELEVANT INTEL

Administration/Logistics

Resupply
Conducted by BISHOP. All elements are expected to initiate with a full combat load. First full LOGPAK expected after completion of phase BLUE. Due to limited availability of logistics, leaders must report logistical requirements early. Infantry may resupply off of BERSERKER’s vehicles assuming they have been filled with ammunition at STARTEX. BERSERKER may be expected to assist moving ammunition to frontline elements. BISHOP prioritise BERSERKER over DELTA.

Medical
PAKs may be provided in the platoon vehicle. Platoon Medic is responsible for CCPs. MEDEVAC will be organised with CROSSROAD if required.
