Tasks and Sequencing
PHASE 0
Equipment prep, muster and briefings.
Where not otherwise stated, Trident 1 will act as lead squad, moving to close with and destroy the enemy. Trident 2 will act as static fire support, suppressing and providing flank security.
PHASE 1
Observe for enemy movement before crossing bridge, utilising fire suppression or mortar smoke rounds if deemed necessary.
Secure area labelled RV-ALPHA. Trident 1 to move South through Objective Neptune in order to make contact with and exfiltrate BISHOP.
Following, platoon will move around the North end of the island and secure the town of Melara.
Trident 2 will set up to cover Trident 1 crossing the SouthWest bridge and commence a mortar bombardment of COP Melara.
PHASE 2
Following bombardment, Trident 1 is to secure a bridgehead up to RV Charlie, pausing to allow supporting elements to catch up. They will then proceed SouthWest to clear objectives Uranus and Venus. Trident 2 will position itself to support while also acting as a blocking force for any QRF dispatched from FOB Rubina. A fire mission will be called onto FOB Rubina prior to Trident 1 moving in to sweep clear.
PHASE 3
Trident 1 will clear Citta Rubina North to South under cover from Trident 2. Upon approach of Objective Pluto, they will push quickly and eliminate the possibility of enemy forces manning vehicles staged there. Upon completion of phase 3, all callsigns will converge on Porto Pyano in order to relieve the allied loyalists there.
