Tasks and Sequencing
Our operation is broken down into five main objectives... (Echo 1 to follow AP-1[A~F], Echo 2 to follow AP-2[A~F] and Lima 4 to follow RV-0~7) Objective Neptune: - Echo platoon is to conduct amphibious assault from Port Fontus, passing PL-0 before landing at their corresponding AP and defending PL-1. - Echo to continue through phase-lines at FL discretion and move to their corresponding APs. - Echo squads to move through C-1 to C-13 at FL discretion. - Lima 4 to hold at each RV-1 to RV-3 at FL discretion. Objective Uranus: - Echo squads to move to their corresponding APs and hold at PL-5. - Echo 1 to flank on eastern side of objective. - Echo 2 to assault on western side of objective. - Lima 4 to rearm platoon at RV-4 if required. Objective Saturn: - Echo squads to move to their corresponding APs and hold at PL-8. - Echo 1 to assault on western side of objective and secure AP-1[E]. - Echo 2 to assault on eastern side of objective and secure AP-2[E]. - Lima 4 to rearm platoon at RV-5 if required. Objective Jupiter and Mars: - (Commander's discretion dependent on squad sizes/time.)
