A. Enemy Forces: ISIS forces are located throughout the region, South of the Bastam (line makred on the map). They are expected to occupy all towns an military installations, at about squad to platoon strength for larger objectives. ISIS has access to several MBTs and IFVs with the primary concentration of Armour likely in the Southern part of the theater, close to OBJ Urquhart. They have a few MANPADs and mobile AAAs (primarily ZSU-23-4), which are expected to be spread evenly throughout the Theater.

Your force is to deploy via air to the rear of the enemy lines, assault OBJ Urquhart and hold it for resupply

As a result of the enemy AA threat, all flights are to fly no lower than 1500m over enemy territory, unless flying over an area cleared of AA threats or a route has been planned and scouted. Therefore a paradrop to a DZ scouted by a high flying UAV is recommended. Once OBJ Urquhart has been secured and surrounding AA threats destroyed, then aerial resupply can be organized that flies 1500m over all unsecured areas.
