Viking will insert via method of their choice and conduct an ambush on the convoy as it departs 114,996. SIGINT indicates Convoy will depart 114,996 heading W along a small forest path at approximately 07:00 Local time.

160th SOAR assets are available for ISR duties as well as interception of interfering enemy units from outside the AO. 160th strikes on Scarab units not recommended. The risk is low but not insignificant that  one or more tactical nuclear warheads are present within the convoy. The Scarab units ARE NOT TO BE DESTROYED if at all possible. Airstrikes on the Scarab TELs themselves IS NOT RECOMMENDED. HE ordinance larger than 30mm in the direct vicinity of TELs IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
