Situation

Enemy - The enemy continues to strengthen their Main Defensive Position (OBJ GOLD) with a reinforced Coy of Motorised Infantry 5km N in anticipation of the BG assault. An enemy delaying screen has been deployed S to buy time for these defences to be completed. BG recce has identified a reserve infantry section forming a Combat Security Outpost on Brown Loaf Hill. Composition 9x infantry with small arms and light hand held anti tank weapons. They have constructed a linear trench with poor concealment, suggesting limited tactical ability, and erected sections of barbed wire across their frontage. Mines or booby trap devices may also be present covering likely approaches. A form of organic transport is expected but is unlikely to be armoured or armed. CSOP's are expected to be in communication with the MDP and able to coordinate limited indirect fire.
