Tasks and Sequencing
PHASE 0 ALL CALLSIGNS prepare mission-length equipment and loadouts and attend operation briefing. There is no expectation of resupply during the operation, so equipment must be packed in bulk. PHASE 1 ALL CALLSIGNS embark their insertion vehicle and proceed to LZ-Alpha. then disembark and proceed through the patrol areas in search of enemy forces. If contact is made, orders will be issued at the Squad Leader's discretion to maneuver and eliminate or break contact to a specified Rally Point. Teams will move from sector to sector, beginning at S-1, and follow routes as indicated by red lines. This will take the team in a counter-clockwise maneuver through Albertin to avoid excessive exposure to potential threats. Teams are expected to soft-clear structures on their sweeps unless said structures are home to enemy forces making contact; in such an event, a full breach and clear is authorized. Hostile QRF is EXPECTED and areas of their approach are indicated by red exclamation points on the map. If QRF makes contact from these directions, teams must break contact and REGROUP at RPs specified by the Squad Leader. PHASE 2 After a thorough sweep of the sector, ALL CALLSIGNS will proceed back to LZ-Alpha. In consideration of QRF suppressing LZ-Alpha, a secondary LZ has been designated for exfil; otherwise, a tertiary exfil will be organized by the Squad Leader and HQ should the need arise.
