MISSION AND INTENT


Brigade Training Objectives- Conduct the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP) in order to plan and execute

comprehensive and decisive operations in support of the Brigade Commander’s intent

- Conduct command post operations in order to maintain command and control at all echelons

- Conduct a BDE defense in order to secure key terrain, population, and resources against a Hybrid Threat in order to set conditions for the transition to offensive operations .

- Integrate synchronizing ISR- Integrate BDE level fires and attack / assault aviation to defend in depth. - Employ deep strike capabilities/assets to disrupt the enemy in depth along their avenues of

approach before reaching the BDE’s main defensive belt.

- Conduct a BDE attack, integrating and synchronizing ISR, BDE level fires, attack and assault aviation, combined with mechanized forces against a Hybrid Threat in order to seize and retain key terrain, population, and/or infrastructure.

- Conduct an Air Assault centered around one Infantry Battalion Task Force in order to seize and retain key terrain and/or resources until proper battle hand over to follow-on forces

- Conduct Cyber defense operations in order to protect BDE network infrastructure and maintain command and control capability

CJTF Mission

The Combined Joint Task Force deters and defeats SOUTHLAND aggression in VIRONIA starting NLT 170900JUN12 to maintain constitutional law and order in VIRONIA while maintaining regional stability and Baltic national borders.


CJTF Commander’s Intent

ENDSTATE: SOUTHLAND is effectively contained within its present borders with warfare being replaced by diplomacy.

CJTF will attach VIRONIAN formations under OPCON from 14 JUN 2012 and initially conduct delaying and/or defensive operations. CJTF prepares for offensive operations to restore VIRONIAN sovereignty. CJTF foresees defensive operations transitioning to Offensive operations followed by Stability operations in southern VIRONIA.


MND SENTINEL MISSION

MND SENTINEL defends in sector NLT 170900 JUNE 2012 in order to defeat SOUTHLAND forces and maintain or restore the IBL. Be prepared to attack in zone to restore the IBL.


MND SENTINEL Commander’s Intent

To rapidly mass combat power in Southern VIRONIA to prevent SOUTHLAND forces from penetrating PL RED and establishing an independent SIMM-dominated state. Defend only as long as is necessary to regain the initiative and then rapidly transition into offensive operations to restore the IBL. Use CAS, Army Aviation, and Fires to attrit the enemy within VIRONIA and to set the conditions for a rapid counterattack. Leverage non-lethal fires to maintain information dominance and to force the enemy’s withdrawal to his homeland. Integrate VIRONIAN security forces throughout and quickly transfer control and security operations back to them once the IBL is restored and hostilities have ended.

Endstate: SOUTHLAND forces within VIRONIA are defeated, the IBL is restored, and local control is returned to VIRONIAN security forces.


Concept of Operations

Phase 1 (Transition to Combat) begins with receipt of this order and includes the preparation for combat operations and rapid movement into the Area of Operations (AO). During Phase 1, 56th SBCT is the Main Effort (ME), and guards to the East to enable MNB-V to occupy hasty defensive positions unhindered.

Phase 2 (Defend) begins NLT 160900JUN12 with MNB-V initially occupying its hasty defensive positions vicinity PL RED and becoming the MND Main Effort. MNB-V improves its defensive positions as time allows, with organic assets guarding south of the BDE and MND-assets providing early warning whilst delaying/attriting the enemy. Defend NLT 170900JUN12. MNB-V continues to defend in sector, ensuring no enemy penetration of PL RED greater than a PLT. 56th SBCT continues to guard to the East, preventing enemy forces from flanking MNB-V.

Phase 3 (Counterattack) seize the initiative and counterattack south to defeat enemy forces before they can reorganize and establish a coordinated defense. MNB-V remains MND Main Effort, and 56th SBCT extends its guard south to remain abreast with MNB-V.

Phase 4 (Stability) maintain the IBL while safeguarding critical infrastructure and transferring security responsibilities to VIRONIAN Security Forces.

• Phase II– 160900JUN12 MNB-V transitions to MND ME and

establishes hasty defense vic PL RED to prevent penetration by more than a PLT size force. Improve defensive positions as time allows. Defend NLT 170900JUN12.

Operations, restoring the IBL and integrating national VIRONIAN forces and agencies.


56 SBCT

• Phase I– 56SBCT (ME) task organizes for combat operations.– 56SBCT rapidly establishes guard NLT 160200JUN12 to enable

MNB-V to occupy hasty defensive positions VIC PL RED. – 56SBCT maintains 2xStryker Companies to serve as MND

SENTINEL Reserve.

• Phase II– 56SBCT transitions to supporting effort (SE) and guards to protect

the flank of the MND ME.– 56SBCT maintains 2xStryker Companies to serve as MND

SENTINEL Reserve.


56SBCT

• Phase III– 56SBCT (SE) continues to guard to the East, protecting the

Civil Military Operations

S5


Civil-Military Operations (CMO)

S5

• All operations will be conducted with a view to protect the civilian population and support the commander’s mission.

• Key infrastructure such as water, power and health facilities must be identified and protected.

• MND-S will develop contingency plans for IDP situations and civil emergencies.

• There will be no dedicated CIMIC/Civil Affairs teams available until Phase IV. CIMIC functions must be performed by manoeuvre units.


S5

• Brigade level S9 responsible for the following:– Critical infrastructure and input to targeting– IDP movement/Non-combatant evacuation ops (NEO)– Planning for Stability ops (Phase III/IV and transition)– Civilian (“white”) situational awareness / civil operating

picture– Liaison with key civil actors– Coordinate military support to civil actors– Coordinate civilian support to the force

Information Operations (IO)

• Concept of Ops: – Use kinetic and non-kinetic information activities in order to achieve

information dominance, influence the information environment, and protect the security of friendly information.

• Objectives:– Break the SOUTHLAND forces’ will to fight. – Influence local populations to ensure Freedom of Movement.– Promote the credibility and effectiveness of CJTF SENTINEL.

S4/S1



• Phase 1 (Transition to Combat Operations)– Inform local population and civil authorities about JFC intentions.– Promote the credibility and effectiveness of CJTF SENTINEL.– Influence SOUTHLAND forces and SIMM to stop fighting. – Establish lines of communication with civil actors in order to set the

conditions for Phase 4 Stability Operations.

• Phase 2 (Defensive Operations)– Facilitate Bde-level deception operations as required. – Encourage civilian sensors to report on Enemy activities.

S4/S1



• Phase 3 (Counter Attack)– Influence SOUTHLAND forces to retreat and/or surrender.– Encourage civilian sensors to report on Enemy activities.

• Phase 4 (Stability Ops)– Encourage the return of IDPs. – Promote national unity and reconciliation.

1. When will Southlandian (SL) combat forces cross the International Boundary Line (IBL) with a battalion or greater element and which maneuver corridors will they use? (Ph I, Transition & Move)

2. Which objective (Parnu or Viljandi) is their priority? (Ph II, Defense)

3. Identification of the enemy Armor Battalion (Reserve). (Ph II, Defense)

4. Identification of conditions favorable to counterattack (initial enemy attack defeated). (Ph II, Defense transitioning to Ph III Counter Attack)

5. Location of enemy 3/33 Bde HQ. (All Phases)

6. Protest groups / insurgents are capable of hindering MND freedom of movement in Ph III and IV. (All Phases)

7. Enemy destruction of critical infrastructure. (All Phases)


FFIR

• Any maneuver BN-sized element under 60% combat effectiveness

• Loss of any MLRS or Counter-Battery Radar system• Soldier missing greater than 12 hours• Major Platform ammunition below 50% (Crew-served,

vehicle, mortar, artillery, aviation)• Loss of any aviation asset.


EEFI

• Location of Primary defensive positions• Location of MND Command posts.• Location and composition of MND Reserve.• MND counterattack routes• Location of MND Rotary Wing operations or Air

Tactical Risk

• Deep Fight ability to bring the Force Ratio to a point that will enable an rapid and effective transition from the defense to the offense.

• The longer threat forces have access to critical infrastructure the greater the risk to a successful SASO plan
