1/1 Amor Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) seizes OBJ FURY NLT not later than 08 June 2022, at 1300 H +12 to protect the main effort of the Corp II.
Commander’s Intent for the
Mission
The intent mission
for the commander is to clear the ROUTE APPLE purposely to the contingent
armored adversary, mostly from having the capability to range ROUTE APPLE with
both indirect and direct fires. Disruption of the Division movement will be
prevented by clearing the route by the location of the adversary’s irregular
force in the River City. By the end of the mission, we should have conquered
the enemy forces and amerce victoriously. Also, there will be the protection of
the main body of the division; people should return as soon as possible despite
the period it might take in operation. Additionally, there should be a
follow-up mission that should be prepared by the brigade. We had 2/4 ABCT,
which will act as an execution of the operation that is critical to capture OBJ
FURY NLT.
Defense Primary Task
In this case, area
defense is described as the defensive task employed, which is opposed to mobile
security or retrograde. There will be much concentration in denying access to the
South of Little Blue Creek, which is done by the Battalions. Also, great
terrain to one of the enemy forces, which is for a specific time rather than
destroying the enemy outright. In ABCT’S decisive operation, it is said to be
the beginning of a contract between the enemy’s reconnaissance and the 1/1 ABCT
team. It was before all the known battalions progress into the resolutely and
locale that engaged shortly immediately after other forces had completed their
movements.
Shaping Operations
In the shaping
operation, it will include the following; arms battalions and acquiring the
combined field artillery in a perfect location so that the brigade of the
adversary can be curb from the setting ROUTE APPLE with the conservation of
combat resources and explosives for a follow-up operation. There are also some
other tasks like the Little Blue Check integration as the core battle is of the
front edge. Also, there is prevention of disruptive movement of the division by
the irregular company by the ROUTE APPLE. The arms and field artillery battalions
need to be protected, which the squadron dispatches a secure area immediately
so that they can move into position. Additional another operation is changing
the location of the force into specific periods.
Section 2
Task and purpose of the
reconnaissance squadron
The reconnaissance
squadron’s first task is securing and occupying the north of little Blue Creek
location to prevent battalion’s enemy from getting into their point in the
battleground central to the Creek at South. After the conduction of the reward
passage afterward, it will them assume the role or reserve of the passing and
lines over the battle to the Battalion Arms Combined. A Parallel asks the 1/1
ABCT will be performed by Squadron, which will be done. By guarding it,
sustaining mobilization, and giving out combat support service on the Armor
Brigade Redland 325th to achieve the desired end state.
Task and purpose of
Combined arms Battalion
The main task of the
Battalion was to retain the terrain key that is said to be in the northern part
of the Blue Creek right after the reconnaissance left. There will be a great
potential advantage that will be offered by the task, which will enable the
Little Blue Creek to act as an obstacle to interrupt the brigade attack of the
enemy. Also, the Battalions had to make an effort to ensure that there were
retention and control of the intermediate terrain. The terrain is said to have
a task to give support to battalions, and it is known to have come early in
case any mishaps would affect the mission.
Task and purpose of fire
Battalion
The main task of the
fire battalion is to encounter any unexpected adverse reaction that would end
up affecting the accomplishment of the maneuver’s desired effects. Also, it can
change rapidly fire in the area of operation to support the exercise.
Location of the central and tactical command post
In the main battle area,
the main post should be away. It is because it holds much control, conducts
detailed analysis, plans operation, and staff. The central command post is said
to be less mobile compared to the command tactical. The tactical command post
should be much closer to the battle area. The way tactical command post is
designed is for a few essential staff who can control specific or sections
tasks of operation a restricted time.
Section 3
Class III planning
consideration
The Class III is often
provided with packaged supplies by supply platoons. In this class, operation
consideration is described as the type of support activity. It can handle the
unserviceable, amount, and give materials serviceable for retrograde support.
Class V planning factor
In class V its planning
factor includes transport, replenishment, and hold ammunition that is received
from the supply platoon. Also, the planning factors are maintained and mainly
developed by the source for operational requirements and logisticians. A
division planer may apply in class V through logistic planning, which can be
used in the system or the doctrine.
Medical care role
In most cases, the
Medical Company is supported by the brigade, and the organization is known to
operate within the set-aside brigade support area. The medical care teams are
called once a soldier gets injured to evacuate casualties for treatment. In
medical care, there is also a combat lifesaver and their leading role in
providing first aid to the soldiers who are injured before the arrival of
medical care.
Maintenance of the
combat system
The armored element is
usually located with the maintenance collection point mostly for security, and
it must also be near the core supply route. Evacuation is always conducted by
the field maintenance team for augmentation and repair s when a vehicle
surpasses its maintenance ability. The combat system must always be protected
to maintain its interface, which is done through the naval.
Location of BSA
The sketch the location
is there because the BSA is the fusion center for control and command. They
must maintain awareness in the situation in all units, and the commander needs
to know the capabilities that that those in BSA have. Additionally, when the
BSA location is known and pointed out, the commander will be able to deal with
the more diverse situation that might be complex in the battlefield. They are
also able to use their communication ability, which is understandable and shows
signs on the battlefield.
Principles of sustainment
The two principles
chosen are responsiveness and anticipation, which are very important, mainly in
providing endurance, enables both strategic and operational reach and
maintaining battle power. By continual collaboration all through the operation
building and maintain create a shared understanding of the force, which is made
possible. The commander intent needs to be accurate and precise that there will
be concisely express the desired and operation purpose end state. The
principles must offer objective to all members so that they can work towards
achieving the r=desired results. Mission orders should be given by the
commander to allocate resources, guidance, and tasks. However, subordinates’
action freedom should be offered by the rules given mostly in determining how
well to accomplish the mission. Taking action without order is described as a
disciplined initiative when unforeseen circumstances arise. It was essential to
accord assistants the confidence so that they may use their judgment in any
unclear situation in line with the mission.
Section 4
Mission Command Essay
Mission command is
described as a way a leader leads and develop their subordinates into mission
accomplish and at the same time giving room for other leaders to take the
initiative and ownership in completing the task. The primary purpose of the
essay is to show the application of Mission Command in the operation lead by
1/1 ABCT commander. Mission command can be applied in areas like Iraq, which is
related to the brigade. Below are different areas in the operation where
mission command is used;
Operational environment
In this scenario, the
plan was to remove the soldiers of Iraqi out of Kuwait. The plan made involved
a campaign plan that as joint and being ratified by the commander of the joint
force (Flynn, & Schrankel, 2013). The operation environment comprised of
special operations, sea, air, and land. The main operation aim was to
facilitate the information of government legitimate in the area of Kuwait,
acquire the sovereign state of Kuwait, and the counter of Iraqi aggression (Abella,
& Alexander, 2017). In the air, the environment mainly compromises of
operation of Tomahawk in the Western province of Iraq. In the air attack, it
was divided into three-phase that is I, II, and III.
U.S Theater Strategic Level objective
The US theatre strategic
level had different goals to help (Iraq Forces) that could be used to infer to
international legitimacy. Promotion of success was another goal that the U.S
Theater Strategic Level had using different ways of perceptions of influence
and the behavior of both antagonist and partner nation (John, & Kort, 2018)
By maintaining all the principles of mission command, another important
objective that they had was facilitating the provision of real-time contingency
and also access to the United States forces.
Identifying Operational
Risk
Generally, the terrain
was leveled with a quite road network connecting the coastal cities in the
original deployment area of the desert ( Morris, Wiedbusch, & Gunzelmann,2018)
There was the existent of the distance between Sabkhas and Dunes from the roads
that made some of the Dunes to present a substantial hazard to low-flying war
jets. One of the most sophisticated operational environments is United States
Central Command, which is known to be an area of responsibility (Hartford, 2019).
Regional intricacy is said to have critical challenges for the TSC. Its
complexity, in most cases, results in logistic glitches wherein the process of
attempting to plan for the theatre capabilities.
Decisive point
As different principles
of mission command are applied like responsiveness in the Desert shield, some
decisive points are used as an influence on the strategic level objects. There
are different events of the desert storm like leadership (critical factor), Maneuver
(geographic consideration), and firepower (function) (Fisher, & Grandy,2016).Maneuver
is mostly realized by deploying forces in critical areas as a way of leverages
for firepower. Its primary function is crippling the ability of the enemy and
also inclination to fight. The decisive point in leadership is the most
critical aspect of power combat is mostly reliant upon leadership confidence,
which is meant to inspire soldiers to win.
Culmination
Some events induced the
coalition during the Desert field operation, including the exhaustion of
troops, fuel situations, and movements. Due to a lack of proper consideration
for logistics in the Desert Shield movement and exhaustion of force was generated
across the Arabian Desert (Scribner, & St Benoit, 2017) Additional soldiers
and suppliers were on the ground even before the attack before the actual
operation, which indicated that they were well trained in doing their work.
In conclusion, the
application of mission command has been implemented in different operations in
different areas, like in the U.S Theater Strategic Level objective, in
Identifying Operational Risk, Culmination, And operation environment. One of
the most sophisticated operational environments is United States Central
Command, which is known to be an area of responsibility.
