[Guest Killjoy]

Cant make this. Sorry lads.

[Duke(911)]

Servus,

if you know you are in, so please check the staffing list and let me know which platoon or vehicle you want.

I also need a CoB. The orders are ready.

I hope I have the translation done by next week Tuesday.

This weekend we have our annual meeting in Munster.

kind regards

Duke

[Zipuli]

Centauro Platoon for me, please

[12Alfa]

I will be there also.:eek2:

[Tacbat]

If you know you are in, so please check the staffing list and let me know which platoon or vehicle you want.

Are the Humvees in 1/B .50 cal, TOW, or a combination of both?

[TankHunter]

I'll be there.

[Grenny]

Are the Humvees in 1/B .50 cal, TOW, or a combination of both?

Yes, 50% TOW and 50% 12.7mm-MG

[Tacbat]

OK, I'll volunteer to lead 1/B.

[Tango29]

If one is open, I'll take a section of 1/B. A .50 HMG recce section would be nice, but I'll take whatever the ORBAT offers!

[TankHunter]

Tac, if you need a guy in a TOW... :twisted:

[Grenny]

Tac, if you need a guy in a TOW... :twisted:

Tac, you should take him!

When I remember the BN size battle against a russian BMP Rgt, he was manning some M113 TOW there...and realy made his nickname shine through 8-)

[Tacbat]

With three guys and six vehicles, we'll all get a .50 and a TOW. Gotta share the fun.

Orders for the first mission:

Intelligence Report:

2 Days ago a refugee ship coming from the town of MISURTI radioed SOS after hitting a sea-mine.

HMS Northumberland responded to the emergency signal and deployed boats to assist in the rescue.

However LUBAYAN government forces set up a trap. Using a fishing boat as a spotter, they fired 2 batteries of art.-missiles at the frigate and scored several hits.

Subsequently 2 crewmen from the RN and NGO employees from the refugee ship where captured and detained.

The captured sailors where paraded on TV and their use as human shields against further NATO air-raids was threatened.

This forced western governments to attempt a daring rescue operation, and provide for regime change while we are at it.

1.) Situation

a)enemy:

The garrison of MISURTI(an Inf. BN + 1 tank company) has virtually disintegrated. The northern part of town is held by rebel forces, who MIGHT be at friendly terms with NATO.

The airport, old town and most of the harbor is held by loyalist troops and irregulars. In the south of the city are the army barracks, G2 believes the hostages to be there.

The airport is guarded by loyal paramilitary police units and AA-assets.

b)own:

At midnight German DSO units have secured the fishing village of LATAR, just north of the city. The landing bridges there will enable us to deploy light and medium forces.

Our tanks are ready to deploy, but we have to secure the deep water harbor of MISURTI to get them ashore.

South of the city, a light Cav. raiding team has been deployed using A400Ms; landing on an abandoned desert-airfield. They are to move towards the barracks to get out the hostages.

A SOF team was deployed by submarine 18 hours ago, they monitoring the target and will strike as soon as the Cav. arrives

Could be that I cannot make it to at least the first few missions. Sorry, real life issues interfering again =(

If I am not there at 1800 then I cannot make it, and I will show up if I manage to get all the things required of me done!

[Gibsonm]

Well I'll have a good start on that since "Saturday, 2nd of June 2012 starting at 1800h UTC" equates to 0400 Sunday for me.

OK well just proved my worth as a staff officer.

Managed to shape my boss to give me leave for tomorrow (Sunday's) part of the O Gp since I had a 2hr speaking part today.

Bottom line.

I can now attend "021800Zjun12" and will be lurking in the FUP hoping to grab any opportunity rides that may become available (will check the staffing tables once I get home and can access the entire Internet - as opposed to the Defence approved sub set from this machine).

You can join the heroic raid of the ASLAV troop in the south for mission one :-)

[Furia]

The 3rd Regimiento Acorazado Tizona is ready for tonight. :biggrin:

We will participate in missions 2 and 3 as a Leopard 2E platoon in Delta Company.

We are pretty excited about this event and looking forward to it. :clap:

I want to thank the 911 Pz Bn for the excellent organization and planning for this event.

Thanks very much for arranging the most recent LNOT (LNdP). I had a great time, but unfortunately had to leave after Mission 3. I look forward to the next LNOT: Well Done! :biggrin:
