Situation
Camp Carter is a remote outpost that has seen an increase in insurgent activity in the Rayak province since a drone strike resulted in significant civilian casualties. This has been characterized by occasional light attacks on the Camp and an increased presence of IEDs in the area. The indiscriminate placement of IEDs in civilian areas has claimed several civilian lives and has caused public opinion to sway against the insurgents. [callsign] has been rotated to Camp Carter following a masscas event rendering the previous element ineffective.
Crossroads believes the insurgent threat is locally based and has made locating the IED factory top priority in order to reduce BLUFOR and civilian casualties – and to help restore good relations with the local populace.

1x motorized infantry squad

No supporting forces in the AO beyond Camp security detail. A QRF can be expected within 30 minutes.

Previous engagements have been skirmishing attacks by light infantry and occasional technicals. The enemy is not expected to have access to vehicles beyond up-armored technicals.

Tasking

Failure: Baker 1 is unable

The purpose of this mission is to locate an insurgent IED factory, disable production capabilities and enhance relations with the civilian populace.

PHASE 0: Preparation - ALL CALLSIGNS load adequate supplies into squad MRAP to sustain operations without external logistic support. -- Support engineer stages demining equipment and repair supplies in attached support vehicle. PHASE 1: Objective Jupiter -ALL CALLSIGNS rally at RP-A -- BAKER 1-1 & BAKER 1-2 enter S1 in tandem, investigating the area for information on insurgency. -- BAKER 1-3 provides high angle security and distant overwatch. - Area sweep continues in a counterclockwise rotation, through S2 & S3. -- Should contact be sustained, red marked buildings will only be engaged ALL CALLSIGNS in tandem. Any information ascertained on insurgency or IED campaign should be relayed to BAKER 1 for phase 2a and phase 2b adjustments. PHASE 2a: Objective Neptune *tentative* - ALL CALLSIGNS stage for Objective Neptune via WP-B. --ALL CALLSIGNS move towards a discovered IED factory location, or methodically through marked sectors in search of further intel. - Patrol orients from Northwest to Southeast, corresponding S4 & S5. -- BAKER 1-3 focuses overwatch towards central MSR and vehicle movement from the rear. PHASE 2a: Objective Uranus *tentative* - ALL CALLSIGNS stage for Objective Uranus via WP-C & WP-D. --ALL CALLSIGNS move towards a discovered IED factory location, or methodically through marked sectors in search of further intel. - BAKER 1-1 & BAKER 1-2 proceed numerically through marked sectors. -- S8 & S9 represent a considerable threat to BLUFOR composition. -- Should contact be sustained, red marked buildings will only be engaged ALL CALLSIGNS in tandem. Note: alongside dense infrastructure and population, exterme caution is to be exercised upon sustaining any degree of contact in Objective Uranus. PHASE 3: ENDEX - With insurgent IED factory location discovered and production capabilities halted, ALL CALLSIGNS return to Camp Carter for ENDEX.
