 ___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. To your left flank, B Company, has managed to hold off the Forward Security
 Element (FSE) and Advance Guard (AG) of the enemy Division's leading Motorized Rifle
 Regiment so the main attack is expected to be heading your way 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 Main Body (MB) of at least 1 Regiment of the
 Czechoslovakian 19th CVA Motorized Rifle Division. As the leading elements of the enemy
 Regiment failed to make significant penetration against C Company, the Regimental Main Body
 has swung around to the West and is expected to attack in the vicinity of Cachrov just before
 dawn.  These forces can be expected to assault your positions looking to overwhelm and
 eliminate any defenses in their path so that the rest of the Division can follow up and penetrate
 into the 68th Battalion's rear area. Expected units will likely include T-72's, OT-64 mounted
 infantry as well as light recon, anti-aircraft vehicles and engineers. 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.**
