Friendly security forces have fallen back to FOB Todd until the area is clear of IEDs. We can expect no air cover due to the weather however 81mm Mortar support will be available.

OBJ BM West: The ANA Regional HQ was assaulted and compromised we are to clear it of IEDs and search for any evidence of the bomb-maker
OBJ BM South: The local population have informed is that yesterday before the attacks Taliban elemnts forced the local market to clear out.
OB BM East: Suspected Taliban staging location for last nights attacks
Following on any intel recovered is to be acted upon to secure the bomb maker alive or destroy Taliban compounds.

Capture of the bomb maker and defusal of all IEDs is the aim. Failure to do so will result in more deaths in the region

Our purpose is to restore security and freedom of movement within the area of operations following the recent taliban attacks, defuse IEDs and disrupt enemy IED making capability, search for evidence regarding the bomb-makers and capture or neutralize them and their positions.

our goal is to capture the bomb maker alive, if doing so is impossible and the bomb maker is a grave threat to us or about to escape, only then is engaging allowed. We do not know how the bomb maker looks like so any intel is of utmost importance to us.
