SGT V. Handberg Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Warning Order Operation Delaware 01 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. SITUATION Date and time: 14. Jan. 1968 07.00 WEATHER: 84F (29C); Clear; Wind 15kn NNE; Dawn 0600 IGT; Dusk 1800 IGT 1st Cavalry Division has been ordered to move into A Sầu, it has long been held by the PAVN, used as a major logistics center and fortified with several heavy Anti-Air guns. Our High altitude bombers have been busy taking out these AA sites in preparation for our attack. 1st Cavalry division has been tasked with beating the PAVN back from the area, eliminating all weapons caches and enemy equipment we come over. We suspect heavy resistance, both from the PAVN and locals. The whole area has been deemed a free fire zone. First order of business is to clear the surrounding area of PAVN to make sure they won't set up AA positions close to our FOB. a. Enemy Disposition All known heavy AA sites have been taken out, we suspect they have lighter AA weaponry stored underground. The PAVN is known to have armor in the area Friendly Marines have been met with artillery bombardments in battles in the area. Exact position of PAVN forces is unknown, but likely targets have been marked. b. Friendly Forces None c. 1968s - 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. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. MISSION 1st Platoon is tasked with clearing out surrounding PAVN forces by any means necessary. 71st AHC is tasked with providing support to 1st Platoon. Map of the AO 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. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.
