Tasks and Sequencing
The vehicle elements will be attached to the squads. Where one vehicle crew supports each squad and works as their transport/logistics.
We will push to Checkpoint Alpha on the road, dismount and push up to the COP. This will give us good eyes in the valley. We will then approach IS Factory and cycle round for the town of Offar and the caves to the south.
If any major threats arise we have a Reaper drone in the air to assist.
EOD is available to diffuse IEDs and similar threats, with EOD drone.
