Weather and Light

80% chance of thunderstorms over the next three days. The weather will limit civilian travel and will provide an opportunity for our forces to move undetected to the OBJ.

Terrain O – Observation/Fields of Fire: Dense forest limits visibility to 150 meters. A – Avenues of Approach: The road that runs E-W that is south of the OBJ allows both enemy and friendly reinforcement to move to the objective quickly and easily. K – Key Terrain: The hill top VIC grid ES2735 9883 provides excellent observation of the surrounding terrain and of the Objective O – Obstacles: The dense woods will impede movement to the Objective. C – Cover and Concealment: The dense forest provides us with the ability to move stealthy throughout our AO.
