 TERRAIN AND WEATHER*
 Terrain is very hilly with extensive tree cover. Weather is clear and warm. The sun is just starting

 ___OPERATIONS ORDER**

 1.__SITUATION:*
 The Warsaw Pact has renewed their offensive against NATO. Soviet and Czechoslovakian forces
 are expected to be working together in this theater of operations. Directly to your front, a thin
 screening line made up of 2nd Battalion's Scouts have been brushed aside and the enemy is
 advancing in force from the North. All fixed wing aircraft are currently involved in achieving air
 superiority and it is expected that they will not be in a position to provide ground support for the
 forseeable future. All Battalion and Brigade artillery assets are currenlty supporting other units
 along the front.**

 __a. Enemy Forces:*
 S2 estimates that you will be facing the lead elements of the Czechoslovakian 19th CVA
 Motorized Rifle Division. You should expect the Regimental Recon, Forward Security Element
 (FSE) and the Advance Guard (AG) or about 1/3 of the leading Motorized Rifle Regiment.  These
  forces can be expected to probe your positions looking to exploit any holes in the 68th Battalion's
  front line as well as pin your Company down so that the rest of their Regiment can bypass your
 flank. Expected units will likely include T-72's, OT-64 mounted infantry and light recon vehicles.
 You can also expect significant amounts of artillery.**

 __b. Friendly Forces:*
 Team Delta, 2nd Bn, 68th AR Rgt, 8th ID*

 __c. Attachments/Detachments:*
 1x AH-1F Cobra TOW**

 2.__MISSION:*
 Advance your forces to defensive postions covering the villages of Cachrov and Brodne and
 prevent their capture by enemy forces.**

 3.__EXECUTION:*
 Team Delta will defend along a line running West to East from the villages of Brodne and
 Cachrov.*
 No Artillery support is available although there should be Cobra Attack Helicopters in your area.**

 4.__SERVICE SUPPORT:*
 Refuel and rearming will be conducted once the mission is declared complete.**
