Mission

Tasking
Secure the northern sector of Basra city.

Execution

Commander's Intent
The intent of our company's mission is to secure the northern section of central Al Basra. Alpha Platoon is tasked with securing the north-eastern sector of central basra through the northern garages, refineries and mosque.

Tasks and Sequencing
Alpha Platoon will first move to RV-RED where we will await friendly artillery fire to weaken the enemy front line before we commence our assault. The platoon will move through sectors C1 to C13 upon the discretion of the Platoon Commander as the situation may deteriorate and individual squad effectiveness may fluctuate. RV points will be used to reorganize before further assaults, including potential medical and logistical support via ZULU.

Administration/Logistics

Resupply
Squads are to carry as much munition and supply as possible in order to extend our combat effectiveness duration. Platoon Resupply will be conducted at a secured and relevant RV via ZULU.

Medical
The Squad Medic and CLS of each squad is to provide whatever medical treatment they can and potentially assist with other squads if required. In the event of a severe and unrecoverable mas-cas situation, medical support and potential evacuation will be requested through ZULU.
