Due to lacking prior preparation and logistics the intervention bogged down\, and US forces (one infantry division) stationed in the region has assisted Turkish forces in stabilising the line. Brigade is currently stretched thin ahead of an anticipated Syrian counterattack\, and rotary wing assets are planned to advance ahead of the brigade’s front and conduct a spoiling attack to break up the Syrian armoured thrust ahead of the counterattack being initiated. \n1.2 Area of operations\nSE of ALEPPO (SYRIA) in MGRS zones CV88-DV24 and DV18-DV46. The ground is mostly flat desert and villages. \n1.3 Time and weather\n* July 05 – 2017\n* 06:00 local time\n* Broken/overcast (3000′-7000′\, 17000′-22000′)\, broken (34000′)\n* Wind (Bearing / kts)\n– GND: 090 / 2\n– 1600ft: 091 / 4\n– 6600ft: 95 / 3\n– 26000ft: 071 / 4\n* Temp: +20°C\n* FORCE QNH 29.72 / 755 \n1.4 Air threats\nN/A \nSyrian regime airforce has been mostly spent as a result of the ongoing civil war\, and the remnants have not been active in the North since multiple shootdowns by Turkish fighters and air defences during the initial intervention \n1.5 Ground threats\nBMP-2\, T-72\, ZSU-23 Shilka\, AAA\, RPG\, small arms\, .50 cal\, MANPADS\, SA-6\, SA-8\, SA-9\, SA-13 \nEnemy forces are expected to be local Syrian regime forces holding the line to the brigade’s front\, and at least one regular armored brigade mustering for the expected counterattack.\nLocal forces in the AO are believed to consist mainly of dismounted infantry armed with small arms\, technicals and 23mm AAA emplacements.\nThe armored brigade is expected to be an understrength armored brigade consisting of C2 assets\, 3 tank battalions (20-30 T-72 MBTs per battalion)\, 1 motorized rifle battalions (30 BMP-1/2s)\, 1 MLRS battalion (10-15 BM-21 Grad)\, 1 reconnaissance company\, and limited air defences (ZSU-23-4 Shilka\, short range IR guided SAMs\, MANPADS).\nAdditionally\, local air defences have been known to consist of 1-2 SA-6 batteries and 3 SA-8s. All local air defences frequently relocate and transmit sparsely to avoid SEAD efforts. \nSA-6 located 50-60 km SE of FLOT. SA-8s typically 20-40 km SE of FLOT \n1.6 Friendly forces\nBrigade (HATCHET) holds the FLOT with light forces\, and will not be advancing. Some Division indiret fire assets have been subordinated to Brigade command (HATCHET 6) for this operation to supplement own indirect fire assets. \n1.7 Civilian/3rd part\nNo civilian air traffic in the area. Mostly normal civilian day to day life continues in the AO. \n2 MISSION\nRotary winged assets will conduct a spoiling attack through movement to contact through the FLOT to break up the Syrian armored brigade ahead of the Brigade. \n3 EXECUTION\n3.1 Commander’s intent\nAttrite chosen parts of the Syrian armored brigade. Priority targets and destruction will be decided with Brigade. \n3.2 Packages\nThe mission contains 1 package\, callsign WAR PARTY. All flights are part of package WAR PARTY. Additionally\, one USAF F-16 flight (Venom 4) is on standby to provide SEAD support. \n3.3 Order of events\nThis operation is divided into four phases which will be conducted chronologically: J-SEAD to support WAR PARTY crossing the FLOT\, continued on call J-SEAD throughout the operation\, search for and destruction of Priority Targets\, RTB. \n1. Indirect fires will target known and suspected Syrian air defences and relevant defensive positions along the FLOT to enable WAR PARTY transiting. \n2. Brigade and Division indirect fire\, and F-16s (Venom 4) will be on station as planned in concert with Brigade and WAR PARTY to provide continued J-SEAD support throughout the mission. \n3. OH-58s and AH-64s of WAR PARTY will search for and engage elements of Syrian armored brigade\, with a focus on pre-determined Priority Targets. \n4. WAR PARTY and Venom 4 will plan to ensure that they have RTB’d no later than 09:00 local time. \n3.4 Rules of engagement\nROE: C\nAs per SPINS\nAddition: The use of cluster munitions against enemy targets (known or suspected) within 500m of built up areas beyond 1km from the FLOT is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. \n3.5 Acceptable level of risk\nALR: MEDIUM\nAs per SPINS \n3.6 Flight tasking\nPackage WAR PARTY (Lead: KingTiger/Blackjack 4-3)\nBLACKJACK4\n* TBD \nLoadout: FL decides \nWaypoints:\n1.
