Field Training Exercise #1
Situation
The start of FTX Yellow Carrot. It is finally 1st Platoon's time to deploy to Poland and partake in exercise Yellow Carrot. This will be the 3rd time this exercise is being run and the wargame aspects of the operation have been planned in detail.
Currently the main BLUFOR command, Camp McCarran, is too close for comfort to the frontline. Friendly forces are holding all bridge crossings, but cannot mount a push by themselves. A recon element has been moved into a secure compound and has provided the necessary intel for our first offensive exercise.
Mission
Alpha Company "War Eagles", First Platoon "Widowmakers" will be tasked with mounting the first push into enemy territory and securing a foothold from which further exercises will be staged. Three OBJ need to be secured in order for the exercise to be considered a success.
- OBJ ORDER: The largest docs on the main river running through the province. A vital supply line that is needed in order for us to bring in heavier equipment. Recon has spotted heavy concentration of enemy infantry, motorized and mechanized assets, along with a possible mortar emplacement near the back. Enemy assets have been spotted to be BMPs and BTRs along with a plethora of wheeled transports. A BMP-2K has also been spotted, which means command elements are present. If we can capture the personnel of said vehicle, alive, we could be able to gather intel from them.
- OBJ HOSPITALITY: Believed to be an enemy forward outpost, a motorized element has been seen digging in. Preferably we would like for it to be captured in one piece.
- OBJ FLASHBANG: Unknown enemy contact. It might be unoccupied. Command has deemed this location as suitable for a forward command position and wants it secure before sending in HQ elements.
