Simply, the intent of this operation is to provide support/ relief to the YNA frontline whilst securing an important valley in the run-up to KalaeNoowi and providing some humanitarian relief to local civpop.

Phase 1 Archer platoon will proceed from our staging area mounted up via the marked route to Dismount Cheddar (primary) or Brie (secondary) if we reach contact before primary. From dismount, infantry will proceed to their designated civilian area- Archer 1 to Civ A and Archer 2 to Civ B. Humanitarian aid to be provided and we will touch base with the civpop to see if there's any intel or requirements they have. Phase 2 Phase 2 will consist of the beginning of valley clearance- using marked sectors and assigning them on an as-needed basis, with the general layout of Archer 1 left flank of approach/ South and West, and Archer 2 on the right flank/ North and East. Phase 3 For the final planned phase we will continue our movement N/W through the valley, acting upon any targets of opportunity in the hills West/ East of the valley as well as at the N/W end. Multiple strongholds and cave entrances have been spotted by recon/ intel and will need to be checked and cleared if hostile.
