Let us begin.

I'm Captain Wiley, I'm your company commander.

This is Department Support Officer Captain Olsen.

And we have the XO Captain Goodwill here.

He'll also be filling in for the 1st Sergeant who is out dealing with troubled soldiers right now.

This is your company outboard for Operation New York.

Company task board, we have all three of our organic platoons.

We also have an attached platoon, 4th platoon Delta Company from the Weapons Company.

3rd platoon is a decisive operation.

You will have all your organic weapons systems.

You will also have a sapper squad attached.

That will be 2nd squad, 1st platoon, Alpha Company, 7th engineers.

Task destroyed, purpose prevented.

Shaping operation number one is first platoon.

You have all your organic key weapons systems.

You also have a sapper squad attached.

That'll be first squad, first platoon, and officer engineers.

Your task is to seize, purpose to prevent.

Shaping operation two is fourth platoon delta.

They'll have six Humvees with them.

So two of those will have mark 19s.

Two of those will have 50 cows and two will have two 40s.

Task to screen, purpose to allow.

And then shaping operation three is second platoon.

We have all organic key weapons systems.

They'll be the company reserve, know how the planning priorities are, defend the company assembly area, reinforce the decisive valve, and then reinforce the shaping up one.

Next slide.

Variable operations.

Alright, so we'll be operating in the greater AOEgypt as usual.

The specific sub-AOs that we'll be operating in though are AO Billings, AO Eugene, and then AO Toledo.

So to box you into that AO, it's in the north, we have 81 Northern, which coincides with Syracuse.

To the east we have the 79th E-Scene which coincides with the Firebase Butner.

To the south we have the 75th Northing which aligns with MSR Elise.

And then to the west we have the 77th E-Scene which aligns with the objective buckler.

To familiarize you with our AO, to the north in the city of Syracuse we have Burke Mountain and Mount Rascal.

So those are the major train features up there.

To the city of Firebase Butner we have Lake Popoloman.

and west of that we have Bull Hill which is where the company assembly area is going to be.

And then down near Objective Buffalo we have Black Cat Mountain and Florence Mountain.

Alright, for area of interest.

So, closed air support.

The Arianics have no closed air support so it will be a non-issue for this operation.

For indirect fires and artillery, down south here in AO Austria they have 82mm mortars as well as 152mm artillery.

The trigger for the use of that will likely be that they identify any of our masculine forces within the AO, and the response time on that is approximately 10 minutes.

For reinforcements, in addition to this mechanized platoon here, which we'll talk about later, we also have an element of a company minus armor element.

Their response time is approximately 60 minutes.

The trigger for them to be dedicated to our AO, we believe, will be an attack on a jet Syracuse or if this mechanized platoon here, if they take a loss of two tanks or more,

then likely they'll call for that armor on them.

And then lastly, civilians.

As you guys know, within AO Egypt, not a large civilian presence.

They've mostly evacuated.

However, down here on MSR Lease, there likely will be some civilian traffic.

And then down in AO Austria, outside of AO, there's certainly still some wind presence down there.

All right, next.

All right, let's just a little brief.

Let's train it out.

So obstacles within our area.

The enemy has the capability to place wire obstacles.

We anticipate them doing so between our key terrain and the swamps and the significant slopes in between them.

We'll see that in objective Syracuse.

We'll also see that down in objective Buffalo.

For average approach, get Route 6 running east to west

and 293 running north to south as well as a significant network of ASRs running north to south

and east to west throughout the area.

This provides enemy mounting capabilities the opportunity for high-speed reinforcement of their own elements and therefore an advantage.

Off of the roads you see dense vegetation and avenues of approach

that are typically squad to platoon size so

that gives us an advantage as we intend to operate at that echelon through that area.

When you're looking at key terrain as already discussed you have Burke Mountain, Rascal Mountain, Bull Hill, Black Hat Mountain, and Florence Mountain.

For observation fields of fire due to dense vegetation anticipate being able to see

and identify targets between one and two hundred meters

and for cover concealment the enemy has established fighting positions

and have designed battle positions on our objective areas slide we expect to operate in temperatures between 29

and 69 degrees Fahrenheit so that's probably not going to inhibit our operations too much

but make sure your soldiers are wearing right here at night so you don't have some kind of cold weather casualty.

Take note that nighttime illumination on day two and day three is going to be upwards of 96 to 99 percent.

So even though the enemy doesn't have as many night division capabilities as we do, they'll still be able to see at night.

So this gives them an advantage.

Slide.

All right, Charlie Five, like so, Captain John Goodwell.

The enemy situation, in general, you've done a great job as a result of the recent spoiling attacks, the special purpose attacks we executed successfully the raids

and ambushes as well as the very successful defense on on

LZ Owl in the north side of Firebase Buckner we've attrited

our enemy the 3122 Oriani motorized infantry battalion attrited them to the south and pushed them south of our AO.

However that enemy is currently consolidating and reorganizing their force we expect to conduct a massive counter-attack here shortly.

Our enemy the battalion supporting operation one is a company minus

element they have They've recently seized some critical weapons to include armor and anti-aircraft capabilities from their atropian counterparts in our AO.

They've worked also to seize key terrain in order to start an interdiction inside of our area of operations,

focusing on Firebase Buckner, as well as establishing an enemy mission command node inside of our AOE chip.

Tori into our enemy dock town.

They're shaping Operation One, our enemy company that's coming back inside of AOE ship that we'll be fighting against.

They're broken down into three elements here.

Their decisive operation, their DO, a motorized and armored platoon that is equipped with three T-72 tanks,

as well as two armored personnel carriers and a logistics package.

Their tasks should disrupt in order to deny Blue Force's freedom of maneuver inside the AO.

Second element, the enemy's shaping operation one of the company section is two squads,

14 packs total, and their key weapon system is that two SA-7s, that anti-aircraft capability.

Their task is to destroy blue forces in order to allow the red forces freedom of maneuver for their DO.

Shaping operation two, also a section we set to be 12 personnel total broken down into two Arianean squads key weapon systems they have,

100

82 millimeter indirect fire mortar asset, as well as a retrans capability so they can communicate all the way from south of our AO,

101

north all the way to their SA-7s that are interdicting our air near Firebase Buckner and AO Belgium.

102

Their task is to retain in order to allow freedom of maneuver for their company, DO.

103

RFR sit-tem, generally the way this enemy will fight.

104

DO is templated here templated here we expect them to go

105

from south to north in order to disrupt our operations inside of AO Egypt.

106

Shaping operation one is equipped with that key weapon system those SA-7s

107

that can interdict blue air operations templated here

108

and then the shaping operation two the other Ariane infantry section

109

which is down here on objective buffalo their task is to retain

110

and provide that retrans capability and allow for extended communications and mission command for inside of the AO,

111

followed by the commander to talk most likely to the most dangerous.

112

Alright guys, so I want to talk to you about how Contista is going to be fighting.

113

Real quick though, a little background on this one up here with the anti-aircraft capability.

114

So if you remember last week when we defended power-based Buckner on an HUSDL, you guys were like blasting BTRs with tow missiles and stuff.

115

You guys remember that?

116

Yeah, we blasted a couple tow missiles.

117

Yeah, all right good.

118

You guys are heroes.

119

While we were doing that, we received some reports that these guys were further in NATO Jupiter and they shot down a British helicopter.

120

So they've capitalized on that.

121

While we were all firebase buttoner defending, they kind of infiltrated back into the AO and they have,

122

they put these guys up near Syracuse and they have a mission command cell down here on Florence Mountain now, right?

123

So this element here, these guys, these guys have effectively shut down our air avenues of approach, right?

124

So air is shut down right now, which is a huge advantage for the rest of this enemy, alright?

125

Because they can more or less, if they do come in, they can operate without any threat of of air interdiction.

126

Alright, so huge asset for the enemy up here, however, you'll notice they're very isolated up north, okay?

127

So that's why they put this mission command cell here on Florence Mountain.

128

They're the lifeline between these, the anti-assets up here and then reinforcements down south.

129

Okay, if a fight were to break out, these guys come under attack, first thing the enemy's gonna do is they're going to try

130

to call down to this mechanized platoon to dedicate them to come up and help out in the AAL.

131

Alright, as far as the specific battles, up here to the north against the anti-aircraft capabilities.

132

That's the third platoon's fight.

133

I anticipate that fight, if this enemy comes under attack, what they're gonna do, they're gonna put up an initial resistance, all right, defend themselves, but ultimately I think they're gonna try to retrograde back north

134

and get out of the AO, all right?

135

And I think they're gonna do that because they simply can't afford to lose that anti-aircraft capability, all right?

136

So they're gonna protect it, they don't want it being destroyed or seized, so they're gonna get out of there.

137

I think it's a different story down here in Florence Mountain though, all right?

138

I think this enemy, who is 1st platoon's enemy, I think they're going to fight to the death.

139

And I say that because they can't afford to lose mission command.

140

If they do lose mission command, these guys are stranded with their critical weapon systems, and it totally eliminates their ability to use indirect fires or calling reinforcements.

141

So, 1st platoon, I think you can anticipate these guys coming in very well prepared fighting positions, battle positions, probably good use of obstacles, probably a good counter-recon fight going on.

142

so expect to have to kill these guys in their foxholes.

143

And then this mechanized platoon down here, when they are called, when or if they are called, I think they're going to come in fast and furious along the fire breaks,

144

and they will be dedicated to getting to either one of the objectives, which everyone they're called to, so they're bringing a lot of firepower with them, two tanks, a couple VTRs.

145

This is a fourth platoon weapons company's fight, so they're well-quipped to handle it.

146

I think that's going to be a pretty heavy fight right there.

147

Alright, so that's how I anticipate the enemy reacting to this attack.

148

Alright, friendly forces.

149

Two levels up, our brigade mission and intent, our brigade commander's mission and intent are no change from the previous orders

150

that we've had in the past few weeks the company.

151

Broken down by battalion, the DO, our battalion 128, tasks to retain AO Egypt, purposes to enable the government of Metropia.

152

187 infantry shaping Operation 1 for the brigade, templated here in AO Belgium,

153

their task is to retain AO Belgium to allow the freedom of maneuver for the brigade DO.

154

132 infantry templated here, their task is to destroy enemy in AO,

155

Austria, and their purpose is to deny any freedom maneuver for the Brigade DO.

156

For the Battalion, also no change for Battalion Mission as well as Battalion Commanders and TAC.

157

ALF Company, 128, DO, their task is to retain Firebase Buckner in order to enable the Government of Etropia.

158

Shaping Operation One, our company, Charlie Company, 128, is tasked to destroy enemy anti-aircraft

159

And our purpose is to prevent enemy freedom maneuver on the DO and then Bravo Company, templated down here, shaping Operation 2.

160

Their task is to disrupt the enemy in AO Fresno, and their purpose is to protect the eastern flank of the battalion DO.

161

All right, so our mission.

162

Charlie Company, 128 Infantry, and the battalion shaping Operation 1.

163

We will attack to destroy enemy anti-aircraft capabilities in the vicinity of the Syracuse Whiskey Lima 788-808,

164

no later than 010430 December 17, in order to prevent enemy freedom of maneuver on the battalion DO.

165

I'll say again, Charlie 128, attacks to destroy the enemy anti-aircraft capabilities and vicinity of objective Syracuse,

166

Whiskey Lima 788-808, no later than 010430 December 17, in order to prevent the enemy freedom of maneuver on the battalion DO.

167

So the purpose of this operation is to deny that anti-aircraft capability within the AO,

168

and to prevent them from interfering with the battalion's efforts to establish firebase button.

169

The key task for this operation, key task one, we must destroy those anti-aircraft capabilities up at a depth of circuit.

170

Key task two, we must seize the retrans capability down on the objective Buffalo, and then after both those operations are complete,

171

we must be prepared for a counterattack from the area islands.

172

The intensity of this operation is in regards to enemy.

173

The enemy anti-agricaract capabilities are destroyed on object Syracuse and the re-transposition is seized on object Buffalo.

174

In regards to terrain, 1st and 3rd platoon are in a hasty defense, 2nd platoon has the assembly area secured and 4th platoon maintains their screen down on MSR Lease.

175

In regards to friendly, the company is set in battle positions to the west and south of Firebase Buckner.

176

And in regards to civilians, the tropic civilians are warned to leave the area due to a likely area on-counter offensive.

177

Next.

178

Execution paragraph, Council of the Ops.

179

The purpose of this operation is to deny the enemy anti-aircraft capability within AOEJ.

180

To accomplish this, we will conduct a frontal attack.

181

Decisive to this operation is 1st Platoon seizing the enemy retransposition on objective Buffalo.

182

This is decisive because if we can seize that retrans capability, we will deny them indirect indirect fires use and will deny them the ability to call and reinforce me.

183

Third platoon is the decisive op with task and purpose destroy in order to prevent.

184

First platoon is shaping op 1 with task seize purpose prevent.

185

Fourth platoon is shaping op 2 with task and purpose screen in order to allow.

186

And then second platoon is shaping operation 3 the company reserve with the priorities that defend the company AA, reinforce the DO, or reinforce shaping op 1.

187

The purpose of fires is to suppress and then we're assuming tactical risk but not having mutually supporting objectives.

188

We're mitigating that risk by keeping second platoon reserves so we can dedicate them to the north and south of 2022.

189

This operation will be conducted in five phases.

190

So phase one is planning preparation.

191

It begins upon receiving this order.

192

It will end when the company is staged and we're prepared to SP no later than 2100 on 30 November.

193

Phase 2 movement begins with 2nd platoon SPs from Gate 41, no later than 2200 on 30 November, and it ends when 2nd platoon and headquarters are in A Albany,

194

and then 3rd platoon and 1st platoon are in their ORPs, no later than 0200 on 1 December.

195

Phase 3 is isolation, it begins when 4th platoon initiates their movement to establish their screen, and it ends with 3rd platoon and 1st platoon are in their assault positions,

196

no later than 0430 on 1 December.

197

Phase 4 is the assault.

198

It begins with 1st platoon Charlie initiating its attack on objective Buffalo.

199

Middle-earth is 0-4-30 on 1 December.

200

And it ends once objective Buffalo and the re-trans capability are seized, and then when the enemy anti-aircraft capabilities are destroyed on objective Syracuse.

201

Phase 5 is the transition phase.

202

So during this phase, it'll begin once all platoons are consolidated and reorganized at their respective locations, and you've initiated a hasty defense.

203

Alright, and then this phase will end once we get a change in mission.

204

Next slide.

205

Constance of Fire.

206

Beautiful.

207

Beautiful FSO.

208

Thank you, John.

209

For fires in support of this operation, we're going to have the Brigade's DSFA battalion has given us a platoon of 105s for the battalion.

210

We'll also have access to the battalion's mortars.

211

Our company has priority of fires for the battalion's mortars for the duration of this operation.

212

Fire support coordination measures that will be in effect during the operation include

213

NFA and Ross Finger as well as Albany and those will be in effect throughout the operation.

214

You need to call up your OPs, ORPs, and battle positions so we can establish no fire errors over those locations so friendly fires don't land on your location.

215

Your target blocks are as follows.

216

And our fire support task is suppressive fires.

217

Our purpose is to suppress in order to deny the enemy freedom of the maneuver.

218

And our execution will be in accordance with the plan that you developed for your platoon's maneuver plan.

219

So you have to plan your own fires and use the weapon system that you're given by each base.

220

Alright, skim and maneuver for phase one.

221

Alright, before we start, we're going to skim and maneuver by warfighting function for each phase.

222

So maneuver, mission command, sustainment, protection of fires, etc. So for first phase one, again this phase begins.

223

The opponent's seat is uporder.

224

It will end at 2200 on 30 November, once we're staged and ready to SP.

225

The key tasks are in this phase.

226

At 1330 PLS, you'll come see me at the company talk.

227

We'll do our confirmation brief.

228

And then at 20-100, we'll do bat briefs in the talk, all right?

229

So specifically for your bat briefs and let me in, I want to hear what you think the enemy's course of action is going to be, your maneuvers plan, your fires plan,

230

your CASVAC plan, and then what your plan is for phase five when we transition into the hasty defense.

231

The company rehearsals will be at 1600 tomorrow at HLZOWL, so over by this blue star.

232

And then for mission command for phase one, so myself, the XO, First Sergeant, and FSO, we'll all get the company to talk over at Star 1 here.

233

FSO.

234

So no change in the scheme of fires, but we'll conduct a fire support rehearsal after the company rehearsals are complete.

235

For scheme of protection, you'll receive your Stafford Squad for first and third platoon.

236

The Stafford Squad will be attached to your platoon, so that way you have a capability on hand to mitigate enemy obstacles on the objective.

237

They have an anti-personnel obstacle breaching team, as well as Bangalore, and at least two wire cutters to handle the wire that we anticipate there. For sure.

238

Mark, for medical support.

239

As previously briefed, due to the fact that the enemy had anti-aircraft capabilities,

240

we will not have air medevac capabilities until we've destroyed that anti-air capability on the objective series.

241

During phase one for medical support, we are still located here, the firebase Buckner.

242

If you assess any casualties during this phase, move them internally with your platoon assets to the Battalion A station, templated here right at star number 6.

243

Any nine-line medevac that needs to be called up for the duration of the operation will be called through the company net,

244

which is free hop 325, alternate frequency hop 326.

245

The call sign for those medevac requests is Titan 7.

246

Titan 7 is the platoon sergeant for the medic platoon.

247

Phase 1, sustainment.

248

Immediately following this operations order, platoon sergeants and supply sergeants will link up with me to draw the following issue.

249

Class 1, one day of supply, Class 1.

250

Class 4, each platoon will draw 700 empty sandbags in support of their hasty defenses after their offensive operations are complete.

251

Phase 5, any additional AT4s, fragmentation grenades, incendiary grenades, flashbangs,

252

smoke grenades, as well as every platoon is required to make sure they're 100% unit basic load

253

or UVL for their organic direct fire weapon systems. For Class 8, every platoon medic will restock to 100% of their Class 8

254

by linking up with a company medic at the Battalion Aid Station.

255

In addition, each platoon will draw 5 body bags as well as 12 emergency heat blankets,

256

and that's for any contingencies that may arise during the duration of the operation.

257

Alright, phase two.

258

Phase two movement.

259

Phase begins when 2nd platoon, SPs at the firebase button there.

260

They'll land on the 2200, 30 November.

261

It ends when 2nd platoon and headquarters are A Albany and then 3rd and 1st platoon are then ORPs.

262

So at 2200, 2nd platoon, headquarters and the mortars are going to SP from gate 41, generally moving southwest until they hit fire breaks.

263

Then they'll head north up to Bow Hill and establish AA Albany.

264

At 2330, 1st platoon, you will SP out of gate 41.

265

Travel west or southwest along Avenue Approach, Niagara until you reach ORP roughly in the city of Black Cat Mountain.

266

At 2359 is when 2nd platoon, the headquarters should occupy AA Albany.

267

At 0030 is when 3rd platoon will SP out of gate 57

268

and they will travel North Lawn Avenue approach Hudson to their ORP.

269

And then at 0200 is the no later than time for mortar firing point figure to be established

270

and then for third and first continue for you to be in your ORPs.

271

Alright so third and first make sure you're in your ORPs no later than 0200.

272

When you do occupy your ORPs make sure you call the Great Year ORP to headquarters right

273

because we need to deconflict fires and other things with your ORPs.

274

The key calls for this phase, Okay, so key call number one.

275

The second platoon has occupied AA Albany.

276

Key call two is MF mortar finding point finger is established.

277

Key call three is third platoon's ORP is established.

278

Key call four is first platoon's ORP is established.

279

Permission command for this phase.

280

The Axisom and first sergeant, they're going to second platoon to AA Albany.

281

And then myself and the company medic will be traveling with third platoon up to objective Syracuse.

282

And we will be with them in the duration of the operation.

283

So fires in phase two.

284

One Tiny will support 2Charlie, the 801s will support 1Charlie, the 60s will support the company headquarters, and our 105s will also support 2Charlie.

285

We'll put Rod's finger and NFA Albany into effect, and there'll be no change to your scheme of protection.

286

Phase 2 for concept of medical support.

287

The company's CCP will move from firebase Buckner with myself, 2nd platoon and 1st sergeant and establish an assembly area at Albany.

288

The concept of medical support for phases 2, 3 and 4 or until the destruction of the enemy air asset will be as follows.

289

Titan 7 along with two Humvees will be pre-staged right outside of firebase Buckner

290

and have approximately 20 minute response time to one of six already templated AXPs or Ambulance Exchange Points.

291

Those AXPs are 1, 2, and 3 to the north along the Avenue of Approach for 3rd Platoon with the objective Syracuse,

292

and AXPs 4, 5, and 6 are right to the south along 1st Platoon's Avenue of Approach.

293

The exact grid locations for those AXPs are also written in the annexes and they're templated around the room for your review.

294

Phase 2 sustainment.

295

The LTV along with 1st Sergeant will be available for tailgate resupply during the duration of Phase 2, 3, and 4, as well as a secondary Kazabak in the event

296

that Titan 1 is tied up with another platoon and you also call for a medevac or a Kazabak.

297

Alright, Phase 3, isolation.

298

Phase 3 begins when 4th Platoon initiates their movement to to their screen, down south to go to check the Buffalo,

299

and it ends once they're in their screening position, and 3rd and 1st platoon are in assault positions.

300

So 4th platoon, they'll SP no later than 0-2-30, out of Firebase Buckner, they'll move southwest along MSR Elise,

301

and one note on this movement, so 4th platoon, ensure that you know where 1st platoon's ORP is before you begin this movement, alright?

302

So I don't think you're going to come under contact during this movement, however, if you I'm a little worried about your direct fires or enemy direct fires hitting 1st platoon, alright?

303

It's pretty close.

304

So I'm sure you know where their ORP is so that we can mitigate for at your side.

305

4th platoon, once you are set in your stream, you need to call that up over company net, and you need to also let your adjacent platoons know, alright?

306

That is because third and first platoon, you cannot leave your ORPs to do leaders recon or go to assault positions until you know that screen is set, alright?

307

If you get compromised somehow during your leaders recon or going to assault positions and that screen isn't set yet,

308

then you have a mechanized platoon and potentially an entire armor company coming for you.

309

Alright, so you cannot afford to do that.

310

Do not leave your RP until that screen is set.

311

Key calls for this phase.

312

So key call one is when 4th platoon Delta SPs.

313

Key call two is 4th platoon Delta has established a screen and MSR release.

314

Key calls three and four are when third and first have initiated a leader's recon.

315

Key calls five and six are third and first platoon are in their assault positions.

316

And mission command for this phase, there are no changes.

317

So in Phase 3, priority of fires for the 120s will be with 1 Charlie, 81s with 2 Charlie, 60s with 3 Charlie,

318

and the 1 and 5s are also with 3 Charlie.

319

No additional FSCMs and no change to your skin protection.

320

Medical, no change for Phase 3, sustainment, no change, Phase 3.

321

Alright, Phase 4, the assault.

322

Phase 4 begins when 1st platoon initiates its attack on Objective Buffalo no later than 0430, 1 December.

323

And it will end once Objective Buffalo is seized and then the enemy anti-aircraft capabilities on Objective Syracuse are destroyed.

324

So 1st platoon, initiate your attack no later than 0430.

325

3rd platoon, I anticipate you can initiate your attack at 0530.

326

However, that is a standby call until 1st platoon can confirm that they've seized the retrans capability.

327

The reason for that, I don't think this attack on objective Buffalo will necessarily trigger and reinforcements coming,

328

but I'm quite certain that if this anti-aircraft element up here comes under attack, then they're going to call in reinforcements.

329

So I want 3rd platoon's attack to go off during enemy radio silence.

330

I do not want reinforcements coming in.

331

All right, so 1st platoon, it is imperative as soon as you can confirm that you've seized

332

that retrans capability and they have They do not have that capability anymore.

333

You need to let us headquarters and 3rd platoon know so that they can initiate their attack

334

For 4th platoon Delta during this phase

335

and during the both attacks You'll maintain your screen down on MSR release so that you can interject

336

That mechanized infantry platoon and then 2nd platoon

337

you're again you're the reserve so you'll be in assembly area Albany

338

and you'll be you must be prepared to one reinforce the DO up at Objective Syracuse

339

or reinforce First Platoon down at Objective Buffalo.

340

Alright so key calls for this phase.

341

Key call number one is when First Platoon initiates attack.

342

Key call two, First Platoon has seized the foothold on Objective Buffalo.

343

Key call three, First Platoon has seized the retrans capability on Objective Buffalo.

344

And then key call four is when First Platoon initiates their attack.

345

There are no changes for mission command in this phase.

346

So in phase four fires, 3 Charlie, you'll have the 120s and the 60s giving you priorities of fires, and the 81s and the 105s will go with first platoon.

347

This enables both first

348

and third platoon to echelon fires as you move to destroy the enemy on your objective or seize objective upload.

349

Ensure that you build that within your plan.

350

As far as protection, there's no change for your staffer support throughout this phase, at the end of this phase your shafts will depart

351

and you can expect to receive a blade team to help you prepare your hasty defense.

352

There's no change in medical for phase four, no change to sustainment to phase four.

353

All right, final phase, phase five of the transition.

354

So this phase begins when all platoons are consolidated and reorganized at your respective positions and you've initiated your hasty defense.

355

All right and then this phase will end once we get a change of mission.

356

The beginning of phase 5 should consist of you guys finishing up Kazovac and EPW procedures, alright?

357

So I expect you'll have both.

358

Make sure that you finish that before you initiate your hasty defense.

359

Alright, once you've confirmed all Kazovacs and EPWs are taken care of, then you need to begin establishing your battle positions, replacing obstacles, and doing good engagement area development.

360

Alright, so first, second, third, you'll be doing engagement development, 4th platoon you'll maintain the stream down south on MSR leads.

361

So whether or not the enemy's got a radio call through to reinforcements or not, I think at this point they're going to understand something has happened

362

and I'm quite certain that that mechanized platoon is going to come attack.

363

So 4th platoon should bear the front of that.

364

However, 1st and 3rd you need to be prepared also.

365

There's a potential that could come from the West and maybe even the North.

366

So you need to design good engagement areas to make sure that you're ready to receive an enemy and defeat them.

367

Key calls for this phase.

368

Key call number one is all platoons are completed with Castlevac and DPW.

369

Key call two, third and first platoon have completed their Sapper Squad handoff and then they've received the blade teams.

370

Key call three is that fourth platoon Delta has confirmed or denied the enemy counterattacks from the south.

371

Key call four, all platoons have battle positions established.

372

And then key call five, all platoons obstacles are in place.

373

Permission command for this phase.

374

I will still be a third platoon at the beginning of this phase.

375

So I'm planning on moving down to 1st platoon.

376

Alright, so I expect the counter-attack to come down from here.

377

So I'm going to move south to be there for that.

378

So 1st platoon be prepared to receive me in Phase 5.

379

So if fire is in Phase 5, 4 Delta will have priority support from the 120s and the 105s.

380

And 1st platoon will have priority support from the 81s.

381

And 2nd platoon will have priority support from the 60s.

382

Additionally, we need to establish no fire areas over your battle positions because as the air threat's been removed,

383

we'll be able to bring in fixed-wing and fast-mover aviation to provide additional support against the armor threat.

384

For protection, our sapper squad is a protect.

385

It's been apart in a little bit of 1,500 hours, and they'll be replaced by a blade team that's also got an I-heavy in it,

386

and you'll have that team on hand until 1,200 hours.

387

For that, you need to plan three fighting positions and at least,

388

or sorry, no more than 300 meters of wire obstacles for your defensive positions.

389

Our medical support for Phase 5.

390

Upon the destruction of the enemy anti-aircraft system on Objective Syracuse, air medevac will be restored.

391

Expect and plan for a 10-minute response time after your 9-line medevac for air medevac arrival to HLZ's Crow, Bull, and Mattis.

392

You are also encouraged to plan and establish your own organic platoon HLZs for medevac

393

and the area you see fit during that phase.

394

Titan 7 along with his two vehicle Humvee, after we have 100% accountability of every person inside of the company,

395

he will transition from a CASAVAC mission to an EPW retrograde mission to help your platoons.

396

So the exact same 1-6 AXPs briefed earlier.

397

Those are locations you can consolidate your enemy prisoners of war for your respective objectives, call up and Titan VII will move them back to Firebase Bunkner.

398

Phase 5 for sustainment, on call, also because the enemy anti-air has been destroyed.

399

You'll have on call one sling load with 300 meters of concertina wire to support you and your defensive preparations.

400

At this point we expect the LTV resupply to be exhausted, so also on call is the speed with class 1,

401

3, 5, and 8 if you so desire during the stage.

402

Okay so we brief paragraphs 4 and 5 of the operations order throughout the scheme of maneuver.

403

Okay so let's conclude your outboarder brief.

404

If you need the details for sustainment, command signal stuff, we've got them all around the walls here.

405

Right so feel free to look at those.

406

Also feel free to come up and ask those questions.

407

So you have the rest of class to complete your warning orders.

Who Would Benefit from This Video?

This video is a goldmine for intermediate to advanced English learners aiming to master technical and formal speech, especially in military or professional contexts. If you’re prepping for IELTS speaking practice or need to follow complex, structured dialogues, the clear, authoritative tone and detailed operational terms will stretch your listening and comprehension skills. It’s also perfect for anyone curious about how specialized groups (like the military) organize and communicate plans—great for building vocabulary in niche areas.

Words & Idioms Worth Stealing

The dialogue is packed with standout terms. Organic platoons (units inherent to a company, not attached) and shaping operation (a mission that sets up success for the main goal) are key military phrases. Response time (how long it takes to act) and trigger (a specific event that starts action) are widely useful in professional settings. Even AO (short for "Area of Operations") is a common acronym in logistics and emergency response. These terms aren’t just for the military—they’ll boost your ability to follow detailed plans in any field.

How to Get the Accent Right

The speaker, Captain Wiley, uses a clear, deliberate command tone with sharp enunciation—ideal for shadowing practice. Focus on stressing key nouns like "platoon," "operation," and "objective" to match his authority. Notice how he pauses after phrases like "Next slide" to emphasize structure—mimicking this rhythm will make your speech more organized. For practice, use a shadowing app or shadowing site to repeat his lines in real time. Tools like shadowspeak can help you match his pace and intonation, turning this technical dialogue into a fun way to refine your pronunciation. Pay attention to how he shortens "sapper squad" (pronounced "sap-er") and "Humvees" (humm-vees)—small details that make your speech sound natural.

Grammar in this video

The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:

Structure	In the video
Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now	has established · have designed · you've done
Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it	is equipped · is templated · is shut
Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing	Hill which is · now, which is

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
