80% chance of thunderstorms over the next three days. The weather will limit
civilian travel and will provide an opportunity for our forces to move undetected
to the OBJ.
Terrain
How can we best utilize the terrain to our advantage?
How will the enemy attempt to utilize the terrain?
O – Observation/Fields of Fire: Dense forest limits visibility to 150 meters.
A – Avenues of Approach: The road that runs E-W that is south of the OBJ
allows both enemy and friendly reinforcement to move to the objective
quickly and easily.
K – Key Terrain: The hill top VIC grid ES2735 9883 provides excellent
observation of the surrounding terrain and of the Objective
O – Obstacles: The dense woods will impede movement to the Objective.
C – Cover and Concealment: The dense forest provides us with the ability to
move stealthy throughout our AO.
Enemy
What will the enemy most likely do during this operation?
What are emerging enemy tactics?
Who are black list personnel?
WHO: South Atropian People Army (SAPA) 2-4 MEN
WHAT: conducted hit and run attacks on the scouts.
WHERE: VIC OBJ GETTYSBURG
WHY: to deny intelligence gathering on SAPA forces
- Most Likely Course of Action (MCOA): stay off any roads, the
enemy will avoid contact with US forces and will immediately
run from an engagement
- Most Deadly Course of Action (MDCOA): establish an ambush
on our forces, initiated with their light weapons on rapid for 1020 seconds and then E&E out of the area.
