Operation Overlays
3.a.
(U) Commander’s Intent The purpose of this operation is to enable US Forces
freedom of maneuver along MSR Zebra by defeating enemy forces in AO Kunis.
The key to our success will be early identification of enemy fortified battle
positions and rapid transition of movement formations to the hasty attack or hasty
defense. End State: OBJ ROYALS is seized and secured. Our forces have
successfully penetrated defenses and taken OBJ HUSKIES. Enemy forces have
been destroyed or are incapable of conducting attacks within AO KUNIS.
3.b.
(U) Concept of the Operation: This operation will be accomplished in 3 phases:
TLPs, execution, and consolidation and reorganization. The decisive point of this
operation is the maneuvering of the assault element into flanking position on the
enemy vic OBJ HUSKIES. This is decisive because it allows us to close with and
destroy the enemy taking OBJ HUSKIES. ___PLT/__Co (SO1) seizes OBJ
ROYALS IOT allow ___ Co to use it as a base of operations. ___PLT/___Co
