CO AAR Description

Battle plan was for 2 M2A2 platoons to screen to the West of the city, have the tank platoons conduct passage of lines and provide a security line for the city. IFV’s then will conduct passage of lines to the West edge of the city and clear West to East with IFV’s and infantry. Once the southern city is clear, IFV’s will cross to the North and clear East to West in the Northern city.

Clearing in the city became too much for the IVF platoons, and tank support was brought into the city. With the bridge from South to North becoming a bottleneck, Tanks moved into the city in the North from the West.

Units took 3 hits resulting in damage and where recovered to support area, and destroyed units of one Bradley, and two tanks.

Not ideal clearing a town with tanks, but the unit did well, and cleared almost the entire insurgent force out of the town areas.
