Orders Cdr 2nd Btn RCT-1 to defend AL-MADSCHID Airbase
1.Situation[INDENT]a)Enemy:
The enemy could be defeated at the AL-MADSCHID Airbase. However, reports seem to be true that units of the 2nd Republican Guards Tank Division operate in this area now. According to recon at least one mixed armoured regiment has arrived near NAJAF. It´s possible that these units could execute a counterattack to the airfield or the reduced 1st Btn at SAMAWAH. Enemy´s intention is likely winning back the airbase and Highway 10, respectively occupying the area N - NW of EUPHRATES River. Increased hostile recon activity around SAWA LAKE could lead to the presumption that the last option is more probable.
b)Own:
The attack to the airbase by 2d Btn was very successfull and the airborne operation was executed by DAGGER. After resupplying 2d Btn will change over to time limited defense and will prepare for further assault in western direction. 1st Btn is actually holding positions at SAMAWAH and south of EUPHRATES river and already had contact to hostile recon units at SAWA LAKE, E Coy "DAGGER" is
located north of 2d Btn in defensive positions. 3d Btn is south of 2d Btn as regimental reserve and will take 2d Btn´s positions after a possible attack in western direction.
Own artillery and support units are actually 15 clicks away on the march in northern direction.[/INDENT]
