Administration/Logistics

Resupply

All combat elements cross LD JUNO fully loaded.
LIMA must ensure adequate supply and resupply for the duration of the convoy.
Further replenishments from the rear are unlikely.

LIMA can use idle time at dismount waypoints to replenish Stryker inventory of supplies for quicker squad rearm on the move.

Medical

Primary means of MEDEVAC is by air through MERT, call sign MIKE, as handled by CHARLIE 8.

Rules of Engagement

CPERS will be made safe, left safe for later evacuation to the rear.
