U.S. forces are positioned on the front line and ready to assist up to the forward edge of the battle area. 2 × AH-64 Apache attack helicopters are on standby for close air support and reconnaissance if the AO is confirmed clear of enemy AA.

Enemy Forces
Intelligence indicates a significant enemy presence in the vicinity of the suspected crash site. Al Qaeda fighters are actively tightening their control of the sector and may deploy technicals and other light vehicles to secure the area. Expect well-armed insurgents capable of rapid manoeuvre and ambush tactics.

Tasks and Sequencing

PHASE 1 ALL CALLSIGNS will perform final checks and step off along Route Green to a US strongpoint and get briefed of the situation of the frontline. PHASE 2 Upon receiving intel BLACK squad will advance into the suspected crash-site area and start the search. If there is a smoke column, thats the target, if not BLACK will search the area from north to south along the roads. When the apache has been located, it will be rigged to blow. If the crew is still there we will treat them and RTB, if they're not, we will look for any clues for their current whereabouts and move to rescue them.
