3. EXECUTION.

a. Concept of Operations.
MSOT 8313 is tasked with assaulting the town of Rakovista and eliminating an ammo cache. Initial recon determined a force size of roughly one platoon with humvees in support. However, they appeared to be spread out across the town. Clear through the town, locate the cache, and destroy it. 

 

MSOT 8311 is tasked with assaulting a KSF vehicle depot at Gramada. To ensure there are no escaping vehicles, the team will attack several checkpoints to the South of the OBJ and mine these positions before hitting the base. Once done, the depot can be assaulted. At least one APC is known to be here, along with others than may be on patrol.

Additional tasking will be given in-field as determined as needed by command.
