The Atropian Armed Forces (AAF) have conducted a surprise attack and have invaded "OzLand" from the North. 1 Division has been given responsibility for preventing the AAF from reaching Zugdidi. 25th Atropian Mechanised Division has of the AAF encountered little resistance up until this point.
They have already seized Sochi-Alder and Sukhumi. They are now attempting to seize Gali and our base at Sida.
1 Brigade has been deployed to prevent the Atropian 25th Mechanised Division from occupying Gali.
7RAR executes an area defence of AO Wombat in order to deny the 4th Mech Brigade from seizing Gali and one of our key logistics bases.
Concept of Operation:
1) Phase 1: Preparation and Movement:
Reconnaissance and Surveillance Platoons will execute movement to the Northern Boundary of AO Drop Bear and establish positions in order to prepare to execute a screen. 7RAR will establish Joint Fire Observer (JFO/JTAC) teams in order to provide control over Fires and CAS. Phase I ends when the screen is established, all OPs are established and company teams are prepared to execute defence of their AOs.
2)Phase 2: Defend AO Drop Bear:
Phase II begins as elements of the 4th Atropian Mech Brigade are identified vic AO Drop Bear. Reconnaissance and Surveillance Platoon establish a screen of the Northern boundary of AO Drop Bear. This phase ends when all elements of 4 Atropian Mech Brigade are repelled from AO Drop Bear and 5RAR is in position and ready to counter attack.
3) Phase 3:
This phase begins with the Reconnaissance and Surveillance Platoon breaking down the screen and initiating movement to the 7RAR HQ. Phase 3 ends when all units have consolidated at 7RAR HQ and are prepared for follow on operations.
A) Concept of Fires:
The Purpose of Fires is to integrate CAS, attack aviation, mortars and artillery in order to support the main effort throughout the operation and when necessary the supporting efforts. This will be accomplished by executing an aggressive counter reconnaissance plan, suppressing enemy upon ID, utilizing CAS. 103 Battery; 8/12 Regiment will be in direct support of 7RAR throughout the operation.
B) Concept of Air Support: The JFTs will utilize JTACs to control the fixed wing aircraft. JTACs will be in charge of tasking and airspace control. Command suggests one of the Fixed Wing drivers or JTACs act as a TACP party to ensure the JTACs have sufficient support for their respective AO's.
