1600ZULU 18JUL05 (Set Up and T1)
My mission is to prevent the Red Scum(tm) from penetrating PL ORCA - a tough ask indeed. So Tough, given the set up lines, I think it's pretty much impossible. Thus I've resolved to defend the Primary Objective, Mykolaiv.
To do this, I've pretty much followed the OPORD. I've broken missions down to BDE level, as it makes it easier to demonstrate, what I'm trying to do.
- DIVCAV - this is the Cav element of 1BCT - they've been dragooned into service as the Corps cav element, and their main mission is to screen the various BCTs advance into OBJ LISA
- 17 ACR - as per OPORD, their mission is to cross the bridge north of OBJ LINDA, and hopefully lead the advance to OBJ WILMA, whilst screening the flank ofc...
- 1BCT - it's mission is to head SW towards OBJ LISA, and then defend in depth OR depending on Enemy situation, advance towards OBJ PAULA.
- 2BCT - It's mission is to advance towards PL ORCA, taking a defensive position north of Myskina - this BDE is to be the pivot point of my defense/offense depening on how the battle goes.
- 3BCT - first objective is to secure OBJ LINDA, and then Advance to OBJ BETTY. This is a gamble as it doesnt allow me to have too much freedom of movement, if any trouble comes from the north.
My UAVs are going on longe range recon to the North West, as per the OPORD enemy disposition. Everything else is moving in SW towards Myskina.
