Suggestions for Canadian forces?

[dita]

To follow warno 01, are there any recommendations for force allocation? Will the mission be recon in force? That is, support the companies with armour. Can I split a sqdrn of armour (15 vehicles) across the three companies?

Is the mission to screen the whole line, or focus in a particular region. For example, two companies in II8 and another in E8, or one company in each F8,G8,H8 to allow options later?

Thanks for any help. You will have to bear with me on this....:)

Yes, of course you can split your armor. I would split it at an even lower level IE a Mech PLT backed by a tank sec or AT sec in overwatch. The sector IS broad but the expected enemy avenues of approach are somewhat smaller. I have to take a better look at the map. I recommend Using the Tank BN base as your screening TF because it has a better recon Plt. Detach two Tank companies to the INF TFs and reciprocate with Inf and AT assets. Then create Reinforced Plt strength elements that can DEFEAT enemy recon units.

The task of the SCREENING force is to gain intelligence on the enemy while DEFEATING enemy recon elements (up to CRP strength ie BMP or TK Plt) in order to DENY the enemy intelligence.

The task of the GUARD force is to gain and maintain contact with the enemys lead Regiment(s) while DEFEATING his lead Battalions in order to fix the enemy and provide freedom of maneuver to the Divisions Main Body.

You will retain your ARTY BN and DIVARTY may reinforce your counterbattery fires.

I suspect Corps will tell us when we have too much but NATO likes fat companies.

Don't forget that there are 7 Battle Operating Systems. Include and use them all.

1) Command and Control (HQs and FOs)

2) Intelligence (scouts, Cavalry)

3)Maneuver (Infantry,Armor,ATK Helos)

4)Fire Support(Arty,Air,ATK Helos)

5)Mobility,Countermobility and Survivability(Engineers)

6)Air Defence (ADA and SAMs, ATK Helos)

7)Combat Service and Support(ie supply Ammo trucks)


Finally, This is your monkey. I don't care what you do with it as long as it smiles in the end. :laugh:
I hope this helps.
