Disposition:
131st Mechanized BN
- conducting area defense
in OBJ Mamba
- 65 % strength
140th Armor BN
- Conducting area defense in
OBJ Mamba
- 65 % strength
185th Artillery BN
- hidden along International
border
- 100 % strength
Enemy TTPs:
- Expect fires and
effects from 185th
Artillery BN in hidden
positions (Range of
WPN system: 15.4K
and 27K )
- Artillery BN may
employ chemical
weapons
- Destroy dam and
flood international
border
Civil Considerations
Ordzhonikidze, Atropia
- Population of 3,000 inside
- OBJ CORAL primarily farmland
Horadiz, Atropia :
- Population: 4,000
- located north of dam in OBJ Mamba
- Increased CL I for displaced civilians once OBJ Mamba is
seized
Terrain and Weather Effects on Operation and Logistics
- Limited Supply Routes, RTE RED is the Primary Route
- Morning fog constricts morning SP time, good visibility
when fog subsides
Terrain and Weather Overview
- Low, rolling, marshy terrain, limits access of advance
- Vegetation along Araks River provides concealment for enemy
- Heavy morning fog does not subside until 0800; decreased visibility
- Wind blows from the north; favorable against NBC attacks
- Terrain offers excellent fields of fire; limited Cover and Concealment

FSC
-
Concept:
- Each Battalion/Squadron has on UBL. The FSCs are carrying an additional UBL for each
maneuver unit they are supporting. The BSB holds one additional UBL for 3 ABCT at the
ATHP on the BSA.
4th SB
- Conducts re-supply at H+102
64th BSB
-Will resupply G FSC with 56 pallets of CL V (4 x PLS, 3 TRLR) at H +76 and again at H+92 if
required
- No resupply required for D, E, F during decisive operations
Shortfalls/Mitigations:
- Specific DODICs for 155mm rounds have a high RSR and low CSR during decisive
operations
- DODICs with extremely low CSR will be substituted with DODICs that have a CSR equal to
the RSR.

3,970 Soldiers in the BDE with Attached and OPCON
1,025 Soldiers in BSB, with FSC, 418 without FSC
Key equipment include MHE (7x 10K ATLAS) PLS/LHSs to move CL I,; M969s for bulk fuel and MFS-TRM and M978s for retail fuel; and PLS/LHSs to move CL V.
Mostly Low rolling hills and farmland, with great observation and fields of fire
Farmland/Canals and marshy terrain will limit accesses of advance for enemy and friendly forces
Concealment provided by vegetation along Araks River and Canals
Wind from North is unfavorable for Enemy NBC attack which is their MDCOA
MLCOA Conduct Area defense focusing on high payoff targets, trying to use SAPA forces to create confusion
BSA will have supply point distro

84600 gal JP8, 20 Pallets MREs, 148 Pallets Water, 1 UBL CL V
H+72 Maneuver units will be at 75%

H+80 BSB will resupply D (4 MRE/30 H2O), E/F (6 MRE/48 H2O), G (3 MRE/24 H2O)
H+82 4 SB resupply BSB at BSA with 12 pallets MRE, 97 pallets water
For Civil Considerations we are planning for 200 EPWs
There are no shortfalls, the capabilities exceed the requirements
Based on the Max Fuel Consumption from ST 4-2
CABs will burn 1555 gal/ 2 hrs, CAV 350 gal/ 2 hrs, FA 450 gal/ 2 hrs
the FSCs will refuel their Maneuver units at H+78

H+72 30% for 155mm DPCIM and RAP and 66% for Charges, Fuzes and Primers
H+76 G FSC will resupply , then BSB will resupply the FSC
Substituting 155mm DPCIM and RAP (low CSR) with 155mm HE and RAMMS because the CSR is equal to the RSR
768 rounds 155mm, 840 charges, 900 fuzes, 800 primers
H+64 – H+70 expect 3 x M1, 4 x M2, 2 x M3, 1 x M109 (all repairable)

HETs from 4 SB to speed up back haul of non-repairable tracks
BCT will maintain an OR rate above 95% on all mission essential tracks
Heaviest Casualties will be from H+64 – H+70 (14 evac to BSA) and H+80 – H+86 (27 Evac to BSA)
