Right….
"Me and my team can eliminate the communications facility. We have training in demolitions and even if they engage with armor we are prepared for such a thing. We will deal with the hard threats, if any other target needs to be destroyed give us the order."
Briggs nodded his mind drew from various mission templates and he found a few that would cover their next course of direct action broadly enough to deal with most situations.
“ Right, I take it Cpt. Rook has our primary forces in his deck, I propose my unit hit the LZ first and provide basic cover. While those mines might be clear, they are just as likely enemy positions and I think Cpt. Rook would rather avoid the inconvenience they might pose. Depending on hostile contact we can use 40 lb satchel charges to clear most of the immediate mine shafts of enemy activity , and move into them as a base of operation.”
Briggs drew the basic outline of his small unit’s defensive maneuver and then the movement to the tunnels.
“ As for moving through the mines, i’d rather avoid large scale movement through confined space, it’d be far too easy to seal us in, and would likely have us incur crippling losses before we could dig out even with Chief Engineer Naoise expertise.”
“ I propose we skirt along the western flank of this mountainous region, staying along the top ¾ in the wooded area to avoid being stuck between the mountains and subsequently taking fire from two high vantage points. If Cpt. Rook and Chief Engineer Naoise would like, my unit can provide real time close recon, allowing us to avoid heavy conflict for the most part.”
“ Figuring we can make halfway decent time, we can set up a FOB here and have recon go in the night before and get a sense of what Cpt. Rook will be stepping on.”
Briggs traced over his suggestion on the overlay, then paused for a moment.
“I mean… unless the Commander has a better suggestion…? He asked a tad sheepishly.
Hawkins shook his head and rolled his eyes, his LT. did enjoy a good plan, and often came up with the correct answer, but the man was wordy to say the least.
” I figure we can also leave Orbital markers on weapons caches and any other supplies we capture along the way for the second wave to clean up should that be agree able.” Hawkins added
