FOB ILLINI– 42S WC 16558 98887 6453’ (QRF)

1 x Battery 155mm ARTY

Enemy Forces: Throughout Big Gulp and surrounding

Training Objectives:

The UT will demonstrate ability to effectively plan for the employment of a separate JFO located in a common mission area. The UT will extract mission data in order to safely and effectively employ CAS asset(s) to neutralize the enemy threat and safeguard any/all friendly forces.

Political Impact to Area Relationships with Big Gulpians have been in the rise over the course of the last thirty days. Local nationals provided valuable Intel in regards to enemy Headquarters compound and operations. It is detrimental to the mission to avoid unnecessary damage to the suburban area of the town to continue building strong relationships with the habitants.

Mission Conduct air strike on Headquarters compound and neutralize any additional threats in the area per GC. After Headquarters neutralized will link up with OBJ LLOYD team and complete a presence patrol threw Big Gulp.

Situation Terrorist forces are attempting to control the urban area known as Big Gulps. They are scattered all throughout Big Gulp, and are continuing to grow. These forces are believed to be 50-60 personnel strong and are equipped with snipers, mortars, and improvised explosive devices (IED) capabilities. There is a suspected Headquarters compound east of the urban area. All enemy operations and IED strikes in the AO have been tracked back to this compound.

Threats Small Arms, SA-7’s/SA-14’s (1 attempted surface to air fire in the last 72hrs, unsuccessful)
