4) EXECUTION:
a) Concept of operations: Patrol Commanders Intent (what do we want to achieve?)Covertly establish a Three day OP of Objective Wasp in order to establish EF routine, troop strenght & Organization.
Scheme of Maneuver (How, outline of the patrol in phases etc).1. Route to RF Link up point
2. RF Link up & transport phase rehearsal.
3. Transport to DOP.
4. Dismount at DOP and route to OP
5. OP Establishment and fortification.
6. 72hr rotating observation schedule.
7. Once CCIR's have been achieved disassemble OP
8. Route to rendezvous with RF
9. RF Pick up and route out at 2nd DOP
10.Route back to FF
b) Preliminary Moves: Method of movementLow ready, single file, blackout, noise discipline, normal rate.

Required mission specific packing list, rest is by choice. Wide mouth gator-aid bottle suggested.
Order of marchSee above.
route to DOPExit George Washington National Forest SW of Mt Solon. No start location makes route difficut.
location of DOPAt the intersection of Stover Shop Rd & Stribling Springs Rd
action at DOPTL seperates from main body and signals RF with light/laser, RF secures location. TL Exits consealment and exchanges safeword/phrase, unique matching item, past event mention. In order to have it matched by RF TL. Once RF contact has been verefied TL signals team to exit.
actions onPre RF mission meating, exchange favors with personel. Ensure radio frequency & time for both teams for pick up. Discuss dimount at DOP. Contact Actual of sucessfull link up and Opp commencement.
c) Route Out: Navigation legsStribling Springs Rd {N} - Free Mason Run Rd {E} - Mossy Creek Rd {E} -Iron Works Rd {S} - Fadley Rd {E} - Wise Hollow Rd {N} - DOP before 698 & 697 intersection at north side property boundry.
formationsRF Opperation described in scenario. Recon vehicle, covert carpenters van.
rally points: locations/descriptions/actions inN/A
d) Occupation of the ORP: ORP Recce Group: method of recce, signal to move off, time on recce, return to remainder.Roling dismount on DOP location. vehicles keep moving to location north of objective wasp as QRF. Pick up Opp is backtrack of route.
Remainder: return of ORP recce group, cut off time.If no contact at link up location/time rear RF van performs a 15 minute grace period acted out as lost equepment at DOP.
e) Initial Action on the Objective (OP site):
Cover group: signal for fire supportNo contact is made.
Recce group: method of recce, time on taskOP is established west of "wise hollow" marker intersected with "Long Glade Creek" marker (Google Maps)
Successful OP depends on Eyes on internal of Obj Wasp, and Hesco Barriers would prevent that. The SW OP is on high ground furthest away from local population. also the entry control point routine needs to be established
ORP protection party (if applicable): cut off timeN/A ORP/RF act as break contact diversion only Fire/Explosion/Contact. Due to mobility
f) Occupation of the OP: OP Group: initial task: observation, radio, sentries, construction, state of equipment, report OP ready.
Establish line of sight of Key point indicated in CCIR's 2 men establish temporary screens man plots 4 separate ground recesses. 1 maintains security.
2 men excavate recess (thermal/cover) 2 pull security.
alternate men create individual thermal / camo recess covers. Followed by dis assembly of front camo cover and is placed in rear.
Range cards are created as well as a "tug" system of cross foxhole notification with tarred twine. Security/OP schedule commences.
Base group (if applicable): as per OP group.N/A
g) Routine in the OP:2 2 man 4hour stagered shifts This allows for cross communication between shifts.

OP Group: observation, logging and reporting, changeover procedure, sentries, food and water, defecation, clothing, kit/equipment.
Base Group: Changeover procedure, sentries, food/water. defecation, clothing, kit/equipment.Shifts are changed by Tug method, This removes need for noise/movement/cold water.
Foxholes are wide enough to rotate in while remaining at deflate.
1 log book is maintained and passed onto shifts.
Water is what you brought or can gather from rain.
Urination is in those bottle's I mentioned.
Shitting is only at night in a thick plastic bag. And buried at opportunity.
After this I cut it off as most of it would not apply to PL planning/scenario or was just...
Good scenario though, credit to the author.
Map used for planning...
