Situation
Background Information
Taliban leaders recently announced that they have taken leadership of Candaldari, and with that overnight forces from surrounding areas have swarmed the city. Embassy forces pulled back to the airfield to secure their VIPs with our greater numbers. Armored vehicles have come into the region through middle eastern militias sponsored by neighboring countries meaning Soviet era armour has arrived on the scene.
A overzealous 2nd Lieutenant oversaw the extract from the Embassy leaving some assets and secure data we will need to burn. Bring incendiaries.

ROMEO 3-2 with ROMEO 2
PHASE 1
We form a convoy and push towards the Embassy using WP 1 to to WP 7
Depending on contact we will use WP 4 A route or WP 4 B route.
The idea is to get as far mounted as possible but once route is blocked or we are slowed down ROMEO 1 and ROMEO 2 Will dismount and flank the route so we can push forward towards the Embassy
ROMEO 3 Wil provide convoy protection and BOF for the squads.
Other elements when not tasked specifically should protect the convoy.
PHASE 2
Once convoy reaches embassy ROMEO 1 and ROMEO 2 will clear the embassy and then provide security For data destroy task done by Tango 4-2
ROMEO 8 Will be responsible for the destroy data task and Embassy clearing
ROMEO 3 While protecting the convoy will organize that all vehicles are ready to move back either via Route Alpha or Route Bravo
ROMEO 7 will organize rearm/ repair in the field during this time.
PHASE 3
Get everybody out safely
Key points
- Keeping convoy going is critical
- Staying together makes us stronger
- Spacing is key watch out for newly or old IED and grenades.
- Movement forward is prioritized get. Casualties in QUEBEC 4-3 When able.
- Rearguard needs to watch both the speed at the front and keep up but also delay the enemy so we can not get enveloped
- Repair should be priority to keep going.
- We only have each other. protect your battle buddys
