Five-Star Rating System

Combat Intensity: ☆☆☆☆ Roleplay Emphasis: ☆ Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆

Friendly Forces
SIERRA 1 is a squad of US Army deploying with an attached M48 Patton MBT Callsign DOG 2

Supporting Assets
US Army Occupy FOB Phu Bai. It is believed that all personal stationed in the city of Hue are dead or captured as we have lost radio contact with them.

Enemy Forces
VC organised motorised infantry and heavy armour (T-54, PT-76) are to be expected with a possibility of captured US Army equipment from the seized bases.

Mission

Tasking
We are tasked with recapturing lost patrol bases Dawn and Diamond from VC hands and to then push across the river and secure the VC staging point and defend from any expected VC QRF

End-state
Operation Crimson Hue will be a success if the city of Hue and its two patrol bases Dawn and Diamond Recaptured. Better still if the VC Staging point in the citadel is captured. Mission Failure if the city of Hue is not captured.

Execution

Commander's Intent
Intent is to recapture our fobs as well as push the enemy out of both the city and citadel of Hue

Tasks and Sequencing
General movement through Hue once dismounted will be two columns on each side of the road with DOG 2 in the center Once SIERRA has entered a Patrol Base DOG 2 will protect their rear and prevent enemies from entering Before firing their main cannon, DOG 2 is to communicate "firing front" or similar in the direction they're firing at which point SIERRA should move out of the way, this is to avoid overpressure. (Standing in line with the searchlight is enough) At the bridge crossing DOG 2 will provide cover fire / suppressive fire until SIERRA has crossed, at which point DOG 2 should cross the bridge themselves and move to Blocking Position and prevent enemies from approaching via the MSR Meanwhile SIERRA will be breaching the Citadel itself, with SIERRA 1-1 taking the western side and SIERRA 1-2 taking the eastern side.
