EXECUTION
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
Step off for mission is approximately 0330hrs local time.
Phase 1: Once platoons have arrived at ORP through motorized transport, Gunslinger 1, & 2 will move on foot through the “Attack Squad(s)” lane and waypoints. Gunslinger 4 will remain at ORP providing security/overwatch.
Once attack squads communicate their arrival on Waypoint 2, then Gunslinger 3 will immediately step off rapidly through to their waypoint and SBF position. Gunslinger 4 will rapidly deploy a Mortar team to begin bombardment onto OBJ Bert.
Phase 2: Begins once Attack Squad(s) have reached their AP and are ready to commence assault. Attack squads will execute ‘SOSRA’ to attack the OBJ Bert main compound, emphasizing suppression and obscuring key fortifications and open terrain.
Phase 3: Begins once OBJ Bert main compound is secure. Platoon will prioritize security to the north and north east of the objective, weapons squads will continue to scan for enemy armor to eliminate and report to Gunslinger-6 and Gunslinger-5 of each armored target spotted and destroyed.

Gunslinger 4 will step off to their WP 1 and then to SBF 1 as fast as possible after Attack Squad(s) have reached WP 2. Once at SBF, will deploy mortars to bombard Bert.
