Operation Torrent, Day 16

--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information

United Task Force, stationed out of FOB Homestead, South Garrison, continues to make its presence known in and around KalaeNoowi. The situation remains the same, to secure territory lost to a militant breakthrough towards the south of Kilo(KalaeNoowi) prior to 1st Platoon arriving at the FOB. Before UTF elements can make ground in the Southern hills outside the region, the task force must coordinate logistical strikes towards the advancing militia.

Mission

Tasking

1st Platoon will conduct a complex assault and fortification operation South of FOB Homestead. A heavy enemy presence is to be expected and so the platoon is authorized to bring its heaviest weapons to bear, as well as an aggressive ROE. The primary objectives are broken into two halves, defined as phases.

The assault phase on Sector R(17-16) is to disrupt a building hostile force in the area. Reconnaissance prior to assault will be essential for identifying hostile emplacements. Various hostile force multipliers are also present and should be factored into the assault plan. The objective is to clear all targets from the area, as well as secure any and all structures to ensure that wounded civilians are assisted and caches are destroyed.

Following this, for the fortification phase the platoon will construct a combat outpost on the most suitable location within the objective or its surrounding area. This COP will act as a vital resupply point for future missions in the south. 1st Platoon is to assist in securing and defending the area while sections carry out the building of basic COB facilities. It is expected that the enemy will retaliate and so the position is to be held as long as possible. Endex will carry out within the COP. Food supplies and tents should be transported as 1st Platoon will remain at the COP overnight.
