Execution
Commander's Intent
The purpose of this mission is to destroy hostile AA emplacements and draw enough fire to allow friendly units to escape the AO.
Tasks and Sequencing
After brief, callsigns are to mount up in the following order:
HUNTER 1-1 in GUARDIAN 2-1
GUARDIAN 2 in their own vehicle
HUNTER 1 in their own vehicle
HUNTER 1-2 in GUARDIAN 2-2
JUMPER 4 to follow behind in their own vehicles, holding a safe distance from the fighting.
Overall Plan
Head south and scout out advantageous positions atop the hillside to allow friendly vehicles good lines of fire into the valley. Exact route to be specified or changed in the field. Once all callsigns are set up and the situation is under control, infantry is to re-mount and move in to capture the AA emplacements. After clearing the area, infantry is free to continue moving depending on the situation, while JUMPER 4 moves in to destroy the target.
