QRF response will take 1 hour for current response.

Enemy Forces
S-2 informs us that there should be a low EN threat with chances of heavy combat upon local warlords understanding our objective. US forces still have a bounty per head set due to past actions from the local warlords.

Mission

Tasking
O/O establish 3 communications relays in the AO IOT allow FN forces VHF/SATCOM capabilities in the AO.

End-state
FN forces are able to communicate in the AO freely without degreed communications.

Execution

Commander's Intent
The purpose of this mission is to extend communication capabilities on the island by establishing a series of repeaters in a contested AO. To maintain OPSEC with a time-sensitive warlord response, High command will not disclose the assigned locations until briefing. Speed will be essential to preventing major OPFOR movement and a defensive posture must be established at each relay location to deny maneuver.

Tasks and Sequencing
PHASE 0: Preparation - ALL CALLSIGNS load attached humvees with supplies. - ALL CALLSIGNS ensure adequate supplies on person to sustain operations for the duration of a full retreat in the event of vehicle loss. -- Any additional support required for adequate load bearing is to be communicated to BAKER 1. - Team Leaders will be provided backpacks to carry STANAG for their respective teams. - BAKER 1 will carry additional Medical Resupply and M240B ammunition. - BAKER 1-1's ammo bearer should carry primarily AT resupply. - BAKER 1-3's ammo bearer will be dedicated solely to M240B ammunition. - ALL CALLSIGNS assemble for brief, learn assigned repeater locations, and assemble movement plan. PHASE 1, 2 & 3: Repeater Placement - ALL CALLSIGNS mounts and drives to assigned repeater location via movement plan assembled in phase 0. - BAKER 1-3 digs in on the primary avenue of approach, denying all OPFOR maneuver. -- SUAV Operator attaches to BAKER 1-3 to recon for OPFOR movement. - BAKER 1-1 & BAKER 1-2 move through objective with speed, eliminating any resistance. -- Upon objective clear, BAKER 1-1 & BAKER 1-2 overwatch secondary and tertiary avenues of approach. - BAKER 1 assembles repeater structure, ALL CALLSIGNS mount and move to the next objective. Actions On Massive OPFOR Movement 1) SUAV Operator identifies and communicates large quantities of warlord movement. 2) BAKER 1-3 positions machine gun, establishes, and maintains fire superiority at all costs. 3) BAKER 1-1 & BAKER 1-2 initiate break contact via humvee. Vehicle Loss In the event of a vehicle loss under overwhelming warlord response, BAKER 1 radios for BLUFOR QRF, ALL CALLSIGNS initiate break contact towards QRF on foot 1) ALL CALLSIGNS immediately prioritize fire superiority. 2) BAKER 1-1 & BAKER 1-2 initiate break contact manuevers, using successive bounding, both as the leading element together. 3) BAKER 1-3 maintains fire superiority, bounding successively with 1-1 & 1-2 as the trailing element. Casualties during break contact Squad medic organizes a rolling CCP, relying on manpower of combined 1-1 & 1-2 as the leading bounding element to assist with movement.

Administration/Logistics

Resupply
Resupply will be available initially with the attached humvees. Should enemy attack disable a vehicle, an extended break contact must be able to be sustained with supplies on person. - BAKER 1 will carry additional Medical Resupply and M240B ammunition. - BAKER 1-1's ammo bearer should carry primarily AT resupply. - BAKER 1-3's ammo bearer will be dedicated solely to M240B ammunition. - Team Leaders will be provided backpacks to carry STANAG for their respective teams. Note: Additional carrying capacity will be made available as requested by Team Leaders.

Medical
- Medical support will be conducted in field (PAK in Field ON)
