Subject: NOTICE OF IMMEDIATE DEPLOYMENT

All Commands and Attachments are hereby notified that A-Co (Rein)—3d MRB, 1st BN (Rein)—160th SOAR are to prepare for immediate deployment to the Western Sahara in support of USAFRICOM. All commands are to ensure OPSEC through rank and file.

All assets and personnel will report to Charleston AFB within 24 hours for initial deployment by the 437th Special Operations Squadron to Agadir Air Force Base in Morocco. 1st BN—160th SOAR will be responsible for deploying the joint force from Agadir AFB to COP Atlas in central Western Sahara within 12 hours after initial touchdown.

Today three state department officials were ambushed and killed by members of the armed separatist group "The Polisario Front" while traveling with the Moroccan Minister of the Interior south of Samara (WS). In response, Washington has requested increased availability of SOF assets in the region. This joint force is being deployed to conduct COIN operations against The Polisario Front, prioritizing those specifically responsible for the ambush, and will be prepared to action on additional objectives needed by the Pentagon.

Current operational intel is being forwarded to your respective S-2s for integration into your F3EAD Pipelines. Contact AFRICOM once established at COP Atlas for updated tasking.

Good luck and Godspeed gentlemen.

Signed,
General Thomas A. Godfrey III
Commanding
United States Special Operations Command
