Following disappointing initial operational casualties a Platoon of Mechanised Infantry together with a Weapons Platoon is dispatched to counter Taliban to our North and to eliminate the identified Taliban Military Garrison. Follow which our orders are to move into and seize the town of Abbadaez. CIVPOP HUMINT reports the location of an AA position near Sumina, which our recon since confirmed, and will need dealing with en-route.

Northern Alliance forces are confirmed to be operating north west of Abbadaez.

Taliban forces are currently holding a Garrison (OBJ A) north of the riverbed. We expect the enemy forces to initially hold the garrison, but when pressured, fall back to Abbadaez, reinforcing from other settlements in Khassadar and Hama. Caution should be exercised when operating vehicles off road due to unexploded ordnance, engineers are being deployed to provide support to cavalry.

Primary Objectives
OBJ A - Assault and Capture Taliban Garrison
OBJ B - Assault east, gain ground towards Abbadaez
OBJ C - Make contact with the Northern Alliance

Following the completion of all objectives a forward position may be established, in all other instances we will return to base.

The purpose of this mission is to gain a foothold in Northern Tottah Province, initially by capturing a Taliban Garrison (OBJ A) and then by attempting to rout the enemy force east into Abbadaez (OBJ B), establishing a position there by joining the Northern Alliance (OBC C) in their attempt to liberate the settlement from Taliban control. We are expecting the presence of civilians and Northern Alliance fighters, so proper target identification is essential. Following successful execution we will establish a combat outpost, or return to base.

From this phase, further verbal plans will be distributed for urban fighting if required to liberate Abbadaez, whereby forces will be exfiltrated or go-firm in assigned positions.

All teams should cross SECTOR B fully loaded, infantry elements should be prepared for at least 2 clicks of movement on foot.
