3 EXECUTION:
A. Concept
(1) Maneuver: 1st SQD is the ME for the ambush. We will cross the LD NLT 0200 moving in a
traveling squad file with A TM as the lead team. We will stop and set up a 360 security at our pre
determined ORP. TM leaders will ensure their team has set sectors of fire. The leader’s recon,
consisting of A TL, B TL, two members of A TM, and myself, will then depart leaving a 5 point
contingency plan. During this time, the rucks will be consolidated in the center of the 360. We
will then return and disseminate the information and get ready to move. We will also pre
determine the RP which we will briefly halt at. B TM will then break off and set up claymores on
the left flank security while A TM moves right to set up the initial assault. The SAW will be set
in the center of A TM pointing to the center of the Kill Zone. We will be ready NLT 0700. The
ambush will be initiated with the SAW. A TM will assault through while B TM pulls security on
the left and right flanks as well as the rear. When A TM reaches the LOA they will set up a hasty
180 security and the Aid and Litter team will move through first taking all casualties to the CCP
and reporting any MEDEVAC that may be needed. In the mean time, A TL and B TL will get an
ACE report to me. Then EPW team will move through and A TM will bring me a SALUTE
report. We will then begin to withdrawal while the DEMO team sets up, meeting at the RP. When
we have full accountability we will move to the ORP disseminate information and then move
back to the BP.
