I posted the 0th Post. This is the Brigade Commander, General Major Dmitri Mishenko approving of the Brigade's OPORD and asking the battalion commanders if they have any question. The Task Organization is slightly different than the units you created. The Tank Company that belongs to Second Battalion, 34th Infantry has been given to the Sokol Group for Operational Control. Once the Operation is over, the company returns to the Second Battalion, 34th. Sokol Group also gets one of the 2nd battalion's Anti-Tank platoons. The Czech Mercenaries are retained for Brgiade control and initially are given the mission to deal with an Anti-Tank threat on the Brigade's western flank during our march up towards Smila. This is also Sokol Group's left flank. That company will initiate its attack prior to the Brigade's attack.

The Mission statement is repeated here:

II.	MISSION. At 0600 29 August 2004, the Ukrainian 53rd Infantry Brigade (Blue), attacks Objective WHITE (Cherkasy Oblast in southern Smila) in order to support the 54th Brigade’s attack on the railyard to the north. 

and the Commander's Intent:

A.	Commander’s Intent. The Commander intends to attack the entrenched enemy in southern Smila along a broad front. The Armor battalion will assault through initially in order to attack the tank company defending along the high ground to the north. Two infantry battalions will attack left and right of the tank battalion and a third battalion will follow the tank battalion along their attack route.

Finally, the Scheme of Maneuver:

1.	Scheme of Maneuver. The Sokol Group will attack along the secondary road in western Mal Smelyanka in order to clear the bridge area of enemy units and support the Brigade main Effort. 1st Battalion, 37th Tank (Main Effort) attacks along the primary road west of Mal Yablonovka in order to create a breach and attack successive objective at Hill 140 south of Smila. 2nd Battalion, 34th Infantry attacks along secondary road through Mal Yablonovka in order to clear the built up area around the river of enemy units and support the Brigade main effort in its attack toward Smila. 1st Battalion, 34th Infantry follows Brigade main effort along primary road west of Mal Yablonovka in order to clear enemy units from the built up area in the vicinity of the river and to support the Brigade’s main effort as it attacks north toward the city.

The Complete OPORD is listed in the 0th post. AT the bottom are the Operational Graphics and the Enemy situation in our AOR.

If you have questions, you can ask them both here in OOC and/or in character in the IC thread.
