Situation Time: 04:00 hrs Lighting: Full Moon, First light at 05:12 hrs Weather: Clear, 3Km Visibility, clear forecast
Insurgent leader and primary proliferator of North African Mercenaries, Qasim Sangeen (code name “Souris”) has been discovered (with a 75% certainty) to be located in a villa on the outskirts of Zargabad, just NE of it’s center. This intel is time critical and with a relatively high degree of certainty. Therefore higher command has ordered Zulu-Alpha D-Troop to conduct a direct action mission to eliminate the HVT Souris and capture any persons of interest found on the premises for interrogation.
AO
A. Enemy Forces:
There are two groups of enemy forces in the operating in the entire AO but no Further South than Shahbaz. The most numerous are the local Muslim insurgents who are hosting the HVT, numbered at around 150 spread across the entire AO and not concentrated at the villa. The second group are north African mercenaries directly under the command of Souris numbering approximately 30, many of which are expected to be located in and around the Villa functioning as primary security, with the rest acting as a QRF and probably located in Zargabad proper. Both groups are armed with soviet era small arms including RPGs and technicals. UAV surveillance shows the villa compound to be fortified with extra barbed wire around its perimeter at former potential breaches, sandbagged firing positions on the roof of the villa and what appears to be a ZSU-23 on the roof of the West wing of the Villa.

D. Ground Brief Orientation
Map familiarization – The AO is a desert area with rolling hills with a large urban area in the center (Zargabad) with smaller compounds dotted around the area. There is a dry riverbed running North South East of Jaguar (the Villa) that acts as dead ground. Jaguar is on elevated terrain with some tall trees surrounding it partially breaking line of sight. There are dominating hills 1km to the East of Jaguar running North South parallel to the riverbed.
Enemy – Jaguar has an outer fence with barbed wire reinforcing any breaches. there is a tall partially surrounding the South of jaguar 1 and another one surrounding Jaguar 3 and 4. The main entrance to the compound is along MSR Macaque which provides rapid access to Jaguar for any reinforcements.
Friendly – Beyond the Eastern hills there is an arid valley which should be clear of all civilians and hostiles suitable for an FUP and HLS. the Eastern hills allows us to control the Eastern part of Jaguar and partially isolate it.

5a. 2 Section takes any captured persons of interest and moves them to the open (NE entrance of Jaguar-1) to be extracted via Stinger and MH-9. (00:50)
