Afghan Blues
Afghanistan, 2011
Situation
The Kunduz region has seen it's fair share of battles. First it was the soviets fighting the mujaheddin, then it was us fighting the Taliban, and now it's the Afghan National Army's turn. The Taliban has once again infiltrated the region in numbers, hiding out in the "green zone" and ambushing ANA patrols. The ANA has reached out to the coalition for help with this problem and a task force has been dispatched from Mazar-E-Sharif airbase.
Mission
The American lead task force is set to conduct operations, and first on the agenda is locating the Taliban hot spots within the green zone. Our USMC patrol team is dispatched from Lugopa airfield and tasked with reconnoitering the green zone from the surrounding high ground. We have been warned to not enter the green zone ourself unless absolutely necessary to avoid being dragged into close quarters combat, so pack for long range.
We are to patrol the green zone along it's length and to relay Taliban positions, and if possible, destroy them. We have been reinforced with an anti-materiel team to deal with possible Taliban vehicles at range.
The local ANA commander assures us that there are no IED's along our assigned patrol route, and that he himself have driven the route yesterday.
Execution
We are to patrol the green zone along it's length from the safety of the surrounding valley.

Execution
We are to patrol the green zone along it's length from the safety of the surrounding valley.
- We should stop every so often (every 500m-1.2km) to reconnoiter the green zone.
- We are to mark enemy locations and their approximate size, to prepare for future incursions into the green zone.
- If possible we are to attempt to dislodge or destroy the enemy.
