2. MISSION.
Alpha Company (WHO) is conducting FTXs (WHAT) in AO VALKYRIE (WHERE) To improve coordination between Aviation and Ground Elements (WHY).

3. EXECUTION.
a. Concept of Operations.
The Igla's VIKING secured in FTX 05-23 have been matched to a known missing batch of Libyan MANPADS that Langley recently lost track of. This is undoubtedly the source of DUSTERs MANPADS. Local HUMINT has led us to a small disused airfield at (195,200) desginated OBJ TIGER. ROUNDTABLE believes this airfield is being used to convertly bring more MANPADS, other weapons and fighters into the country. VIKING is tasked with conducting a HALO infil into DZ HUMMEL (183,203) followed by a footpatrol to the airfield. Viking will asses the feasability of a raid. If deemed feasable VIKING will carry out a raid IOT render the airfield unusable and secure all sensitive material on site. DUSTER himself is not expected to be present at this OBJ but intel that points towards his current location may be. Diligent SSE is expected.
