Attachment 2: Scenario 1 Description

Commanders Intent Purpose GC C/S: Basil 06 To locate and destroy the Taliban training camp in order to keep our positive relationship with the people and village elders .

Key Tasks 1.Locate Taliban Training Camp

2. Destroy any C2 stations and other weapons that they can use against us

End state Neutralize training camp/COP Weather -Clear

Basil- 42S WD 1536 0609 Elev: 6227 ft Basil:15 US personnel + JTAC

Blocking Position-North of town on Kabul-Gardez Hwy C/S- Powers

Enemy Forces: Taliban Training camp/COP

Training Objectives:

The UT will plan, prepare, brief and execute a safe and effective CAS mission utilizing a ground based PRF coded laser with laser guided weapons.

Political Impact to Area If Taliban are not stopped the local populace and the local government may lose faith in the coalition force’s ability to protect or help them. If that happens, we will lose the trust of the village elders and lose our Intel gathering capabilities on the surrounding areas.

Mission To locate and destroy the Taliban training camp.

Situation Immediately after sunset last night, one of the village elders came to FOB MINI-ME with information on some Taliban activity.

He claims that there is a training camp on the south side of town.

The Insurgents have struck fear in the town. They take what they want from whoever they want whenever they want. The village elders are looking to the US for help. FOB MINI-ME is sending out their scouts (C/S Basil) to observe and destroy the Taliban COP.

Threats Small Arms, SA-7’s/SA-14’s (reported with Taliban, not confirmed)
