Situation

UNITAF, still staging from northern Limari's Patrol Base Mikis, have pushed the majority of the insurgency over the riverbed towards Morut, Bramar, and Orcarif. In recent days, some fighters have been crossing the riverbed north to counter our patrols. In the south, the insurgency has been re-enforcing inside civillian towns, trying to halt our advance south and west. While many have fled, civillians have been moving back in, and some insurgents still remain. We expect the majority of insurgent activity to be in Zones 2 and 3, where many previously ANA installations have been taken over. Following successful suicide bombings of our troops in recent weeks, we expect a more concentrated use of this tactic, so be on the lookout for IED , Suicide Bombers and VBIEDs ENEMY FORCES Moderate presense of foot patrols / static installations in civillian areas ANTICIPATED USE of IED / VBIED Some presence of .50 cal weapons Possible use of technicals Known use of Mortar FRIENDLY FORCES ANA (AFGHAN NATIONAL ARMY) STATIONED THROUGHOUT, MARKED IN GREEN ON TACMAPS Continue reading
