___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
1. SITUATION
 
Date and time:           28. Jan. 1945    03.00
 
WEATHER: 84F (29C); Clear; Wind 15kn NNE; Dawn 0800 IGT; Dusk 1700 IGT
 
Japanese forces are holding 500 POWs in a camp inside occupied Filipino territory, we are afraid they will be killed if we do not rescue them.

1st Platoon has been tasked with dropping behind enemy lines, conducting recon, harassing the Japanese garrison and helping the local Filipino guerrilla forces.

Making sure the Japanese do not notice we are not Filipino guerrillas is of the utmost importance, since we do not want the Japanese to bring additional garrison troops to the AO. 
 
 
a. Enemy Disposition

  • Japanese lightly armed Garrison Troops,
  •  The Garrison troops are known to use both foot and motorized patrols.
  • No armor has been spotted in the AO

b. Friendly Forces

  • Friendly Filipino Guerrillas are operating in the area.

c. 1945s - Rules of Engagement
On order from your commander, enemy military and paramilitary forces are declared hostile and may be attacked subject to the following instructions:

  • Positive Identification (PID) is required prior to engagement. PID is a reasonable certainty that the proposed target is a legitimate military target. If no PID, contact your next highest commander for decision.
  • Do not engage anyone who has surrendered, or is unarmed or wounded. 
  • Any requests for fire support or close air support within 600 Meters of a civilian center must first get authorization from commanding officer.
  • Unless there is Positive Identification of Targets in an unoccupied building, structures are not to be engaged or targeted by heavy Ordinance including Mortars, Artillery, Armor, or any other forms of high explosives.

Notes from Commander:
  • All requests for Close Air Support/Medevac/Resupply/Insertion are to go to Mako 1-6 on FREQ 40.0. Mako 1-6 will contact Rattler 1-6 on FREQ 50.0 to request an asset to assist 1st Platoon as necessary. Once the asset is in the area of Operation for Mako 1-6, Infantry can contact the bird via CAS Net FREQ 45.0 to guide in the bird/direct close air support.
  • If an infantry element is in threat of being overrun and requires immediate assistance, they may declare a "Tactical Emergency" to Mako 1-6, who will then have Rattler 1-6 redirect all available air assets to Mako 1-6's Area of Operation to prevent the unit from being overrun.
  • The whole of our AO has been declared a military target, so you are free to use any kind of ordnance you see fit even in civilian villages/structures.
