Execution
Commander's Intent
The purpose of this mission is to clear a path through Molbath and the forest east of it towards Rosche, so tanks can follow for the eventual assault on Rosche itself.
Tasks and Sequencing
PHASE 0
ALL CALLSIGNS will move through defilade to attack Molbath from the south-west.
PHASE 1

ECHO 1-2 will take the blue route and clear the southern side of Molbath
ECHO 1 will support where needed
PHASE 2
Both teams will determine the suitability of their route for tanks and IFVs, the best option will be fully cleared by both teams before getting into position to attack a suspected radar installation.
PHASE 3
