Q

Explain how SOSRA works (concept, assets, timings)

A

Will see Supression and Obscuration occur concurrently, taking 10 mins
Aslt gp will secure the home bank, taking 10 mins
CDP to push CS Tp fwd is made (2x sects up with a third in rear for redundancy). This will see a mine plough, roller and viper approach each lane. They will detect the obstacle ‘irregular outer edge’ then launch viper. Blowing a 180m long and 7m wide lane. Plough will clear the lane, using VLB for ditches. Taking 10mins.
Assault will occur - taking 10mins to passage the LAV.

If tank is in the aslt it will need the SEQ sect and MTMC to clear a 10m wide gap.
