Situation
Background Information
With prior operations intended to clear the route to Kajdrara, a Taliban strongpoint, we are gearing up for an advance down the valley. BAF starting at the FOB north of Mandol will move out towards the town and support counter insurgent efforts in the area. Civilians are in the area and are intermingling with the insurgents so PID is vital. Alongside this the Taliban have a range of tools at their disposal to stop us in our tracks.
