2. MISSION.
Alpha Company (WHO) is conducting operations (WHAT) in AO SANDMAN (WHERE) to establish an evacuation route for US citizens and extract those unable to reach the airfield (WHY).

 

3. EXECUTION.
a. Concept of Operations.

LEGION is tasked with delaying the rebels' forces from reaching the airfield before our forces are able to withdraw. The initial objective will be OBJ MARS, a river crossing to the Northeast that Takistani armor is approaching. If the crossing can be mined, it would force them to loop back and buy time for the final evacuations. Once OBJ MARS has been blocked, the team is tasked with holding OBJ JUPITER until 1630. At which point the team is to pull back to the airfield and ensure nothing of importance is left for TIRP to use before leaving the AO.
