3. Any requests for fire support or close air support within 600 Meters of a civilian center must first get authorization from commanding officer. 

2. MISSION

 

- 1st Platoon will not be conducting patrols today due to a lack of ammunition, and heavy enemy presence in the heart of Sangin. Patrols will later in the week. 1st Platoon will continue to hold its ground in FOB Alamo; Due consistent volley's of RPG fire on FOB Alamo, Rattler Elements will be para dropping supplies from the air, outside of the range of enemy rocket propelled grenades. 1st Platoon will resupply, repair the FOB, and prepare for operations that night. Under the cover of Darkness, 1st Platoon will slip out of the western gate and move to capture a high value Taliban leader, organizing the attacks in Sangin.

- We will be fighting in Urban terrain. Take it slow, be methodical, and work with closely with fellow units.

- IED's will be present, if an IED is present without an ambush element, establish security with a 50-100 meter radius around the IED. Clear all civilians, radio command with grid coordinates of IED and wait for engineers to arrive.

- If an IED is present in an Ambush situation, break contact in a controlled manner, radio for QRF, and assess the situation. If it is possible to maneuver and push into the ambushing force's flank, due so.

Time for our next campaign vote!

(Keep in mind we will do all three campaigns, you are merely choosing the order in which they are conducted)

 

Option #1

Second World War: OSS Raids

Norway, France, Italy, North Africa, French Indochina - 1940 - 1943

This Designed to be a mini-campaign that recreates several different commando raids on various Nazi & Japanese installations as well as efforts to supply, train, and work with local resistance fighters in various occupied countries. Though many of these missions were carried out by British Commandos, we will be playing the part of American operatives in the Office of Strategic Services.

Option #2

Modern - Mountain Thrust 

Afghanistan 2006

In 2006, a platoon of British paratroopers relieved a group of American and Canadian Soldiers in Sangin Province Afghanistan, after taking several casualties. The British Paratroopers began conducting normal operations, however very quickly the situational devalued into a three month long siege with very limited support. Essentially left to fend for themselves, this Platoon of British Para's held off numerous Taliban offensives from their fortified hotel in the city center, and eventually managed to launch effective counter offensive operations dealing a killing blow to the Taliban forces in the region just before being relieved by American Forces. We will be operating as British Paratroopers, starting with only the ammo we can load into a few Boxes & what is on our persons, and with only limited mortar support until supplies can be sent in later in the campaign. 

 

Option #3

Vietnam Campaign: Operation Lincoln

Pleiku 1966

This Designed to be a mini-campaign that recreates the 12 Day Skirmish in Operation Lincoln along the Cambodian Border. The Campaign will consist of the lead up and then culminating into the in the climax of the Operation, when a CH-47 full of 1st Cavalry Division troopers, was shot down & the effort to rescue the wounded survivors of the crash as they held off a significant Vietnamese assault. The Build up to the climax will involve mine clearing patrols along Highway 19 by day, as well as night time ambushes along VC controlled.
