Concept of Operations

This is a dismounted air assault operation. The unit will insert via rotary-wing at LZ Gold, establish a cordon, and execute a deliberate building-by-building search. No ground vehicles are authorized for this mission.

• Infiltration: Heli-assault into Grid 074047.
• Search Pattern: Clear buildings starting from the South, moving North-West along the Alternate Supply Route (ASR), through Anar proper, and concluding in the Northeast sector.
• Cache Destruction: COMMANDER’S INTENT: Any caches discovered are to be blown in place (BIP) immediately using authorized explosive charges. This mandate stands regardless of proximity to civilian structures.
• Exfiltration: Extract via Grid 070061 upon completion of clearing operations.

Tasks to Maneuver Units

• 1st Squad & Combat Engineers (Search): Lead clearing element. Conduct building-by-building search. Execute BIP of all found caches.
• 2nd & 4th Squads (Cordon): Establish outer/inner cordon to prevent insurgent escape into the surrounding terrain.
• 211th CAB: Conduct ISR, provide CAS as needed, and provide troop transport.

Coordinating Instructions

• Rules of Engagement (ROE): Hostile Intent/Hostile Act applies. Use caution with non-combatants, but cache destruction takes precedence over structural preservation.
• Explosives: All squads are authorized and required to carry standard demolition kits (C4/Det cord).
