Mission:

Execution:

Rangers, it is time to hold down the fort. We have been assigned with fortifying and defending the capital, Cape Rassa. Behind us lays a bridge which serves as the main entry into the mainland of the Gulfcoast. The border we are secured at now is as far as our enemies are allowed to go, we must protect it. Each company will attend to specific lanes of responsibility to ensure total coverage of our area. From high detail fortifications, to small overwatch points, Rangers will have 20 minutes to set up as much as possible before the main force comes in. This will act as a prep phase, NOT a grace period as we will potentially face some small arm fire during said phase. After that, focus on survival as that is all we can do now.

Objectives:

• {Placeholder}FOB Texas - Fortify and Defend Cape Rassa

Defend Cape Rassa

Fortify with tools, Place Mines/Claymores, Utilize CSW’s IF LOCATED, Counter Assault onto potential stationary threats

(Mortar Pits, Sam Sites, etc)

Assist in Defense of Cape Rassa utilizing armored vehicles Provide Artillery & Air Support

Provide forward recon for incoming targets to Cape Rassa Place Mines/Claymores for outer defenses Assist coordination of fire missions

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. Rangers will then board their vehicles of the convoy and move towards the contested North Eastern region

Phase III: Fortify/Prep Phase

For 20 minutes after brief, there will be a period where contact is slim to none, Rangers will utilize every minute possible to prepare defenses for what is coming

Phase IV: Defend

By any means necessary, we cannot allow OPFOR to have entry into the mainland, the bridge on the SE side of Cape Rassa is the main access point we are aiming to defend. Though we are looking to keep a foothold in enemy territory, we will acknowledge the bridge as the final fall back point

Phase V:

Phase VI: RP/AAR

• All units prepare for debrief.

In the event BLUFOR cannot hold Cape Rassa, re-establishment will be set at the opposing end of the bridge. During the main phase, members of command will create a “final stand fortification” in hopes of allowing no access to the mainland
