The briefing maps for the mission
Mission
Your assault is not the main attack into town but a supporting action with the intention to keep the enemy occupied on both flanks. Still, the crossroads and hotel buildings are important features. Securing these objectives will restrict the enemy's ability to redeploy along the southern side of the town or use the hotel as an observation point.
This town still has a civilian presence. Avoid damaging any civilian structures with high explosive weapons. In particular, the hotel buildings are believed to have civilians sheltering in their basement or lower floors.
Friendly Forces
You command half of C Company (Stryker), as well as one platoon of combat engineers from E Company (Mech Engineer). One battery of M777 155mm howitzers have been assigned as your fire support. A single Apache has been assigned to hit any targets of opportunity.
Enemy Forces
Dar al Abid as Sud is held by a mix of infantry, mechanized infantry, static tanks, and irregular forces. No significant armored threat is expected, but the enemy still has active artillery support.
Plan
Advance into town cautiously, using overwatch and bounding movement. The high ground to the west may be useful as a base of fire, but it completely lacks cover. We do not have a clear picture of what is waiting inside due to the ongoing battle further north.
Notes
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT: Restricted. Avoid damaging civilian buildings, especially the hotel.
