Operation Torrent, Day 15

--- 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 attempt to gain more ground whilst avoiding further degradation of civilian relations.

Mission

Tasking

1st Platoon will conduct a mounted patrol towards Ramir(126-151) in order drop off supplies for ANA forces. Following this, the platoon, either mounted or dismounted, is to proceed patrolling towards the village of Tunkuf(095-142). Whilst Ramir is now under control by ANA, the road between Ramir and Tunkuf is not clear. This road is to be searched for IEDs and the village itself is to be thoroughly checked for weapons.

Once the road has been cleared and the village searched, 1st Platoon may proceed to gain further ground along the route that leads South until it is time to RTB. Before moving away from Tunkuf, Crossroads should be contacted and provided with the number of arms confiscated and the names of those detained for possession. Additional catalogue information can be provided post RTB.

Execution

Tasks and Sequencing

Cleared wrecks along the road are to be moved out of the way if possible and marked with blue paint. IEDs are to be disarmed and marked with red paint. Disabled IEDs should be collected and returned to FOB Homestead.

Armed civilians are to be detained, catalogued, have their weapons confiscated and then released. At this time, no controlled detonations are to be conducted within any civilian establishment. Discovered weapons are to be loaded up and transported back to ANA forces at Checkpoint Tango(122-152).

Rules of Engagement

Intel suggests that two individuals within Tunkuf are active IS informants. Following the mission, the catalogue may identify said persons of interest.

Additionally, it has become known that IS forces are aware of the success of previously used VBIEDs and seek to attempt further strikes using these assets. Until UNITAF can prove to be more resilient or by finding those responsible for the coordination of these assets, VBIEDs are to be considered an ever present threat.
