Administration/Logistics

Resupply
Logistical support will be provided through SHIELD. Do note that their capacity will be limited, and will as a priority focus on vehicle support. Logistical requests must therefore be forwarded as early as possible. RANGER will be able to support the resupply of infantry with their vehicles, depending on the battlefield situation.

Medical
NOMAD 7 will assume leadership of any MCIs.

Rules of Engagement
ROE will be amber until PHASE 2. After the initiation of PHASE 2, ROE turns green. CPERS are to be handed over to Nomad 8, who will coordinate further evacuation through SHIELD or other backend units.

Fire Support Plan
Artillery is available through company leadership, and is not guaranteed. Requests go through BLIZZARD.

Close Air Support
