Commander's Intent
Following up on the last Sortie, we will be pushing further into uncharted Territory. We have received reports of IED Attacks in adjacent Villages.
Tasks and Sequencing
Disclaimer: All Elements are ordered to travel as light as possible to conserve Stamina.
After Preparing their equipment, Vigil will be flown into the AO by Skylark, who will have finished their previous tasking by that time.
After Landing at LZ Grape, Vigil is to start their patrol heading Eastwards. We have received reports of IED Attacks in the Area, and our main tasking will be to ensure the roads are safe for travel for the local populace. Stops are planned along the Villages in the Area, and Skylark will be available for Overwatch and Logi Tasking, wherever possible.
