1. SITUATION - a. Enemy forces

(1) Disposition, Composition, and Strength

(a) Disposition:
Recent hostile actions against local enemy forces has put the enemy stronghold at Feruz Abad to a state of full mobilization and alarm. Taliban forces are likely to be fully assembled, at least partially motorized, and preparing to engage into our position imminently. The town of Chak Chak has not been sufficiently scouted, and may be occupied by local taliban fighters or associated allies.

(b) Composition:
Enemy forces consist of:
Taliban mujahideen. They are motivated and tested soldiers, many are veterans of the Afghan Civil War. They have access to Cold War-era small arms, technicals and possibly obsolete Soviet armor and mechanized vehicles. They may have access to limited quantities of rocket propelled grenades.

(c) Strength:
Several hundred fighters, as well as at least a dozen vehicles including possible Soviet armor and mechanized assets.


(2) Capabilities:

Maneuver: High, the enemy is fighting on local ground and will be familiar with the terrain. Taliban fighters are purported to carry a light kit, and should be able to move quickly.

Fire Support: The enemy has automatic rifles, rocket propelled grenades, motorized vehicles, mechanized vehicles, armor, and possible artillery support.

Intelligence: High, the local populace appears to be against the occupation by US forces.

Command and Control: The enemy has a low degree of command and control over their forces, expect them to shatter when confronted with overwhelming force. Small units are expected to fight bravely however.


(3) Most Probable Course of Action: Assault the objective area with fast moving motorized gun platforms supported by screens of infantry. Break through weakened enemy defenses with mortar and armor support.


(4) Most Dangerous Course of Action: Divert all forces from the Feruz Abad to this area of operations, overwhelming our platoon with massive numerical superiority.
