Execution
Commander's Intent
My intention includes the capture of the strategic towns of Yarovoe, Siukha, Zhulebino and Kozlovo, who will be held until the following Company can continue our push West- and Southbound.
Tasks and Sequencing
Phase 0:
All Ground Elements will form a Convoy, with the default Convoy Order being:
-Lima 1 (mounted)
-Lima 2 (mounted)
-1x Titan
-Lima 9
-Blacksmith (all)
-1x Titan
Spacing and speed standard
Phase 1:
This Phase is dictated by a narrow path through woodland, where for the sake of Speed, Elements will only dismount and spread out adjacent to the roads on first Contact.
LIMA 1 will establish BoF to overwatch the Clearing between Phase 1 and 2,
while LIMA 2 prepares to move through the second narrow passage, taking the front.
Phase 2:
Following up on yet another narrow Passage, LIMA 2 will make contact with OPFOR at a Checkpoint, while LIMA 1 shifts North and stages their attack on an FOB.
Phase 3:
The Final Phase, predominantly consisting of clearing the main towns, will be amended based on enemy compositions, as reported by Hawk.
