MDCOA (Most Deadly Course of Action) Enemies Strongpoint OBJ boneyard and mount a defense in depth with pre-sighted artillery, and a robust anti-armor system. Utilizing air superiority they will seek to channel 17th forces into narrow avenues of approach, where CSW's, and small arms can be brought to bear on a disorganised BN.

The 17th Ranger Battalion has been assigned two missions. Echo Company is responsible for the clearing of Armored Strongpoints in OBJ's Terminus and Falacer, afterwards, Echo will support Alpha in their mission.

Alpha Company will isolate the Northwest Airfield by clearing the towns surrounding it, and then moving to seize the airfield.
