1. SITUATION

Enemy
Enemy armor reserve consisting of the republican guard, 4th and 11th armored divisions located around Palmyra have initiated a counter-attack towards Damascus with the most likely intention of recapture the Syrian capital.
Due to the weather friendly intelligence has been taken by surprise and do not have an exact location and composition of counter-attacking forces and can only give estimates.
In the lead is most likely the republican guard division consisting of T-90 and BMP-3 vehicles known to be heavily supported by artillery and anti-air ranging from ZSU-23 to SA-8, SA-13 and a few SA-15s.

Most likely course of action is to disperse the counter-attack force by assaulting in two directions from Palmyra with the northern one, named AOA NORTH over AL QARYATAYN  and the southern one  named AOA SOUTH  assaulting over AL BASIRI. This enables the syrians to attack damascus from two directions at the same time, dividing our  resources on two equally lethal axes of advance.

Reports have been received of enemy forward recon forces between SAYQAL AIRFIELD  and AL-DUMYAR AIRFIELD in unknown size and location, however, if this is true it means we have enemy forces between us and friendly recon moving in to set up a recon screen.

Friendly
Air
Friendly are setting up a raid package to attack the counter-attack force expected route of advance and rear logistics to try and hamper it as early as possible.

Friendly ground forces
2 SBCT “LANCER” are defending north towards AOA NORTH with a defensive line from  RANKUS over AL QUTAYFAH to AR RUHAYBAH with all 3 battalions on line.
8-1 CAV “HAWK” from 2 SBCT have been pushed out to screen in front of the brigade in order to create early warning of possible attack over AOA NORTH.

3 SBCT “GHOST” are defending with a defensive line from AD DUMAYR to HARAN AL AWAMID towards AOA SOUTH with 2 battalions up and one in depth.
1-14 CAV “WARHORSE”  from 3 SBCT has been sent out to screen in front of the brigade in order to create early warning and get a better picture of enemy forces attacking along AOA SOUTH.

4 SBCT are defending DAMASCUS international and acting as division reserve.
