Situation
Background Information
AIDED BY US, JAMEL AL-HASSAMI WAS TAKEN TO THE UK WHERE HE WILL BE GRANTED ASYLUM. PRIOR TO REACHING THE UK HE WAS DEBRIEFED AND PROVIDED A WEALTH OF INFORMATION REGARDING HARIQ FI ALSAMA (FIRE IN THE SKY) AND THEIR CONNECTIONS WITH THE IRAQI MILITARY AND THE PRODUCTION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS.
ACCORDING TO AL-HASSAMI, THERE ARE SOME ELEMENTS OF THE IRAQI MILITARY WHICH TURN A BLIND EYE TO THE FACT THAT HARIQ FI ALSAMA PRODUCE AND TRAFFIC IN EXCHANGE FOR BRIBES AND PAYMENTS. THIS CORRUPTION INCLUDES SOME HIGH RANKING MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY (INCLUDING COLONEL QASIM AMIN WHO WAS KILLED BY OUR FORCES IN A WEAPONS DEAL). HOWEVER, IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT ANYTHE IRAQI MILITARY WAS AWARE THAT HARIQ FI ALSAMA WAS TRYING TO BUILD A CHEMICAL WEAPON.
ASIDE FROM THIS VALUABLE INTEL, AL-HASSAMI PROVIDED INFORMATION OF A SHIPMENT OF ADDITIONAL CHEMICAL REFINING MATERIAL WHICH IS DUE TO ARRIVE IN FALLUJAH TODAY. WITH THIS INFORMATION ONE OF OUR AGENTS WAS ABLE TO PLACE A TRACKER ON THE SHIPPING CONTAINER WITH THE MATERIALS IN IT BEFORE IT WAS LOADED ONTO A TRUCK FOR TRANSPORTATION.
WE NEED TO INTERCEPT THE TRUCK, IDENTIFY WHERE THE MATERIALS ARE BEING TAKEN AND, IF POSSIBLE, DESTROY THEM.

Execution
Commander's Intent
The commander's intent is for all leaders to find good initiative. Accept no loss of civilian life and reduce material collateral damage.
First locate the truck's destination and identify the parties involved with as little overt action as is feasible. Secondly, capture or neutralise the parties involved with good judgement of cause. Thirdly, destroy or confiscate materiel connected to Hariq Fi Alsama.
Where feasible, create plausible deniability for the involvement of British special operations.

Tasks and Sequencing
LIMA TROOP will drive in two vehicles of one team each. Each team additionally sends forward one armed member on a motorcycle as an advance scout to radio back intel on hot zones and safe crossings.
The route must directly avoid military checkpoints. Crossings and corners must be carefully considered and observed.
LIMA TROOP will shadow the suspect truck with sufficient distance to its destination. When halted for an extended period of time, LIMA will advance on the location covertly and execute the raid.
The nature of the mission dictates thinking on our feet and removes the need for advance task & sequencing.
