28 Nov 05, 09:35
DATE AND TIME: 0500 Hours, October 23, 1984
UNIT(s):
2nd Motorized Rifle Division (Soviet);
9th Tank Division (East German);
11th MN Tank Division (Hungarian).
MISSION: Intelligence reports NATO Command is directing all available forces into the void created by withdrawing Austrian and Czech troops. NATO Reconnaissance elements are probably already operating in the area. The Main body of the NATO force will likely arrive from the South/SouthWest from nearby garrisons.
There are 2 probable routes of advance by NATO forces into the sector. The 1st is from the SouthWest vicinity Hintfen (Hex BB14) and the 2nd is in the vicinity of Kleehof (Hex HH14). The eastern corridor near Reidel (Hex MM15) is the least likely route of attack as the terrain is very rugged and heavily wooded.
Objective 1: Seize and hold the vital road and rail junction vicinity of Moos, Parst and the nearby Processing Plant (Hexes DD &, EE7 & EE8).
Objective 2: Seize and hold the vital road and rail junction vicinity of Aspertsham (Hexes II7, II8 & JJ7).
ENEMY SITUATION: NATO forces are expected to include both Armor and Reconnaissance elements of the American 8th ID, West German 35th PzGr Bde and Canadian 4th Mech Bde.
