Execution

Commander's Intent
The intent of our company's mission is to secure the northern section of central Al Basra. Bravo Platoon is tasked with securing the western-eastern sector of central basra through several petrol stations and enemy fortifications.

Tasks and Sequencing
Bravo platoon will first move through sectors S1 to S4 on the outskirts of Basra in order to relieve Charlie platoon who are supporting the evacuation of local refugees to the west. Bravo Platoon will then conduct their primary assault through sectors C1 to C9 upon the discretion of the Platoon Commander as the situation may deteriorate and individual squad effectiveness may fluctuate. RV points will be used to reorganize before further assaults, including potential medical and logistical support via ZULU.
