Mission:

Execution:

We have finally arrived at the operation most people have been expecting. Once we land behind enemy lines, we will be searching for an extremely deadly device held by the MLF within their Northwestern Region. We don’t expect them to hand it over lightly, and we should be prepared for a counter-assault once the primary objective is secured. In the worst case we should be prepared for the MLF to enact a Scorched Earth policy in an effort to stop their weapon falling into enemy hands.

Objectives:

• {Placeholder}OBJ Venus - Port of Terra Ceia - Contains POI John & POI Peter
• OBJ Mars - Town outside of Port - Contains POI James

Clear/Control the Terra Ceia Port and the adjacent town Locate and disable the deadly “Device” MLF is hiding

Insert Rangers into AO and provide JIP service throughout operation Utilize CAS assets to ensure support on primary assaults

Locate and secure a suitable LZ for Rangers to be inserted Attempt to locate the “Device” Provide forward reconnaissance of Battalion maneuvers

CONOP:

• Phase 0: Connect to Operations Server
• Server will be going live earlier than normal to allow RRC to step off early and for Echo to organize vehicles. Everyone else will load in 15 minutes prior UNLESS told otherwise

Phase I: Brief

Mission Maker/BCO will open up with a general briefing, followed by Alpha, Echo, and RRC with their overall movements

Phase II: Prep

Conduct final preparation and last second planning. Make adjustments to the primary assault plan based on info from RRC.

Phase III: Conduct Initial Assault

Joint Assault will be conducted by Alpha and Echo to secure the MLF Device.

Phase IV: “Device” Secured

Device is secured and in friendly hands, either extracted or disabled depending on the viability of options.

Phase V: Reaction

We suspect a counter assault will occur after the device is secure, and will standby to react accordingly.

Phase VI: RP/AAR

• All units prepare for debrief.

In the case that the unknown device is activated, designated rally points for all surviving personnel will be at FOB Laurel and Airbase Rassa In the event the device is secured, main priority is to destroy/neutralize it We suspect MLF will receive PLA support ; be cautious of an additional force entering the AO In the event the device happens to take out communications, we will gather forces closer together and defend In the event the device ruins NVG capabilities, everyone is required to have a SUREFIRE FLASHLIGHT (From SMA)
