Vanguard = Coy+, tp tank , MSD, mortar coy, AD Det, ATGM Pl
Main Guard = 2x Mot Coy, sqn tank, Engr Pl, BAB fire unit
Distances between echelons of OPFOR in the advance
Point Gd is 5km/15mins ahead of Vanguard
Vanguard is 10km/30mins ahead of Main Guard
Main guard is 20km/60mins ahead of MB
Main guard flank sy Platoons are 3km away
En considerations in the Advance
1 - How much delay do they need to impose? I.e what’s their mission - therefor assess what their appetite to remain on posn is
2 - What is the relationship between the coy posns? I.e. if one os destroyed, what will the reaction be from the other coy? E.g. the Bde Mvr Res enters the AO / repositions itself.
3 - Is the Bde ME? If so, he should have Bde AT Res, Bde Mvr Res, DAB, engineers
4 - Is the en synchronizing with a flanking unit - this requires flank sy and synch with your neighbor
5- What are his decisions. 1: When to WDR 2: When to deploy Res 3: Res Dems 4: WDR coy
