Gradual  Retreat

Excerpts of the battalion commander's orders for...

The red tide 1988...  50 miles East of Archen.

 

1) SITUATION:


    a) Enemy:

 

The Enemy Soviet forces are moving in to try and sieze another town to capture. Despite their overwhelming success they are moving quickly without much re-supply.

This brings us to the conclusion that the enemy force will try and use a lightning attack, with speed as their main weapon to overwhelm us. Our best esimates are that they are on 60/70% ammunition and 50% fuel.

 

Our Reconnicancce elements before we lost contact spotted lone BDRM-2's and BMP-2's, with a possible BMD sighting. So they could potentially with the attacking force be mostly motorised. They will be channeled down our line as the bridges have been mined to stop the advance of enemy forces.
    
b) Own
    
We are going to be overwhelmed in the long run, maybe not in this battle but as a whole fighing force, the German forces have fallen on the northern flank, yet the BAOR (British Army of the Rhine) still stand strong with Challenger 1's.

 

All forces will gradually fall back, but we are making time for civillian evacuation, the town of "Himmilsdorf" (not on map) still needs time for its civillians to be evacuated by ground trucks.

 

We also have recon team of 2 M3A2's with lost contact, last known position was around grid "720,413", they spotted enemy scouts before falling back to our supplimentary position, it is overcast with rain so radio signalls havent been clear, they may just not have any signal at this point till we get closer.
 
We've got a mostly mechanised force with 2 platoons of M2A2's, 1 platoon of M1A1 (Ha) another platoon of M1A1, two more M3A2 Bradleys and CSS elements. 1st Light Cavalry managed to get us some M966 HWWMV's as well.
    
c) Attachments and detachments:


CO is an M1(IP) and an XO M113 OPMV,  and a platoon of mobile mortar carridges. There are sone M113AS4's for close protection, but they may need to be moved up.

 

2) MISSION:


We are going to hold back the enemy forces for ***One Hour***, if we do that and they dont get past the civilians from "Himmilsdorf" will be able to escape safely, if they break through then the evacuation will cease and the trucks will leave with or without them.

 

The company will move up and make contact with the enemy, whilst on a defence with a gradual fall back, to the defence line.

 

3) EXECUTION:

 

Intent: Conduct a hasty defence to stop the Soviets frob Breeching the line.

 

    a) Concept of Operation:

          
The tactics are down to the field commander, but  a "peel-off" force should investigate the last known position of the M2A3's.


        i) Maneuver:


    None it is down to the field commander.
   
        ii) Fires:


You've got four 120mm mortar tubes available, with supply vehicles, they can be an imperitive asset.

 

        iii) Additional assets:
    
Repair and recovery along with medical assets, the useuall CSS.

 

    b) Tasks to Maneuver units:
    

    c) Tasks to Combat Support Units:


    If a vehicle is damaged it would be best to repair it, but depending on time and the situation it is your call.

 

    d) COORDINATING INSTRUCTIONS:


    None

 

5) COMMAND AND SIGNALS:


None


6) NOTES:

 

This is for you cobra... Enjoy!
