Situation
Background InformationHaving made our presence known around Limari once more, locals are becoming used to Wesern Forces in the area. Many of the Insurgents and their families and civillian sympathisers have fled south, fearing a further assault from the coalition forces. UNITAF, still tasked with presence patrols out of Patrol Base Mikis, have been keeping the insurgency supressed in the region for some weeks.
In the south, two of the largest remaining towns still under a element of insurgent control are Limari and Brammar. They remain inside the Red Zone and lay south of UNITAFs current patrol base. While many have fled, civillians have been moving back in, and some insurgents still remain.
ENEMY FORCES
- Moderate presense of foot patrols / static installations in civillian areas
- Low use of IED / VBIED
- Some presence of .50 cal weapons
- Possible use of technicals, if present, likely to come from Mil Installations west of Brammar
FRIENDLY FORCES
- ANA (AFGHAN NATIONAL ARMY) STATIONED THROUGHOUT, MARKED IN GREEN ON TACMAPS
Mission
TaskingStill based at Patrol Base Mikis, our mission is to provide anti-insurgency patrols as far south into the Limar and Brammar urban sectors as possible, identifying any remaining insurgent buildings and compounds to provide intelligence for future direct action missions. This assault, will be key to the iradication of the insurgency in this region, and the ultimate completion of UNITAFs mission in the country.
Patrols are authorised to use lethal force against all armed aggressors, and to proceed at their own discretion, within the patrol sector assigned for this mission. A key element of these patrols, is to identify key installations of the insurgency, before they can be relocated as part of the insurgencies fall-back to the mountanious regions. Key hardware an ammunition is located in these strategic locations and must be intercepted.
COMMANDERS INTENT
The commanders intent is to acomplish the mission without friendly or civillian loss of life, or the loss of equipment.

Rules of Engagement
We believe due to past intelligence, that there are at least 2 insurgent strategic locations in this patrol sector, which may be hidden inside existing civllian compounds, with the potential for Anti-air and Ammo Depots to be based here. We must find these so they can be destroyed before the enemy retreat.
