OPERATIONS ORDER
Operation Ember, Day 9

--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information
Following on from the re-capturing of the weapons plant, the NATO task force have authorized the final assault on Georgetown. With it due to take place next week, it's vital that preparations are made so forces can be staged for the final push in a weeks time.

Friendly Forces
UNITAF Forces will be comprised of a Platoon of Airborne Infantry, supported by two Knighthawk Helicopters

Supporting Assets
To the south, on the main supply route to Georgetown, the primary US and NATO Ground force will be pushing up from the South East.

Enemy Forces
The enemy has been preparing for our final push for weeks now, and is likely to be thoroughly entrenched on all sides, we know they have been placing hundreds of mines along the road to Georgetown, as well as setting up fortified positions. Without the ability to launched fixed wing aircraft, it's ability to rapidly recon our movements is lessened. Even so, thousands of infantry are suspected to remain on the road to Georgetown, as well as a disgruntled population rioting against their defiant government. The enemy is entrenched, prepared and not willing to give up.

Mission

Tasking
- Support the USMC and NATO Ground Assault by Clearing the North East MSR - Clear any remaining, outlying camps along the route - Join the joint assault on the heavily entrenched enemy position, on the road to Georgetown - Capture the final military garrison

End-state
Once captured, hold the enemy position and go-firm to await further orders.

Execution

Commander's Intent
To clear the route from the north towards Georgetown from enemy forces, and to capture and hold the enemy Garrison - with minimal loss of life, or damage to infrastructure or buildings. On assaulting OBJ/F, move methodically and build defenses while conducting fire an maneuver, a slow and methodical advance will win us this battle.

Engineers must have mine detectors OBJ-A & B - Clear bridge crossings (Assigned to Bishop 1) OBJ-C & D - Clear MSR checkpoints (Assigned to Bishop 2) OBJ-E - Regroup to assault (All Bishop and King 9 Callsigns) OBJ-F - Capture fortified enemy garrison

Administration/Logistics
