Situation

{Placeholder}Following the OBLITERATION of the insurgent forces in Anizay our main focus shall shift to the total and complete DESTRUCTION of the bank rollers and material suppliers in North Takistan. The region is a powerhouse of state sponsored terrorism and the 17th Rangers have been tasked with a DEEP PENETRATION the likes of which have never been seen before. We shall follow through on the most perfect OBLITERATION of Takistan's military-industrial capacity, weapons supply chains, and force them to come to the negotiation table.

Movement plan dependent on ISR. General approach to be made from the SE into the AO

 

Phase IV: OBJs RUM/CIDER

Take care of civilian presence especially in the area of known housing and concentration Continue push SW RUM requires all stored weapons caches to be destroyed CIDER shall see the destruction of the oil tanks Resupply before moving on to next phase

Movement into either OBJ at BCO discretion and TBD in field

Preliminary approach will be RUM > CIDER
