OPERATION ORDER [OPORD] – OPERATION CACHE STRIKE

CLASSIFICATION:CLASSIFIED
HEADQUARTERS: MARSOC, Takistan, 29 OCT 25

DATE/TIME GROUP: 291858OCT25

TASK ORGANIZATION

• ●US Army HQ Element (Call Sign: “Overlord”): Command and control, coordinates logistics, CASEVAC, and medevac. Located at TOC, grid 058 114, Takistan.
• ●MARSOC Platoon (Call Sign: “Raider”): Main effort, conducts reconnaissance, strikes OBJ 1 (057 099) then OBJ 2 (056 094), destroys caches, neutralizes insurgents.
  • ●1st Squad: Assault OBJ 1, then support OBJ 2.
  • ●2nd Squad: Assault OBJ 2, support OBJ 1.
  • ●3rd Squad: General support element (security, overwatch, reserve) with SMAWs.
• ●80mm Mortar Battery (Call Sign: “Hammer”): Fire support, reports to Overlord, provides on-call suppression. Located at grid 058 114.

1. SITUATION

a. Enemy Forces: Approximately 60 insurgents defending two weapon caches at OBJ 1 (grid 057 099) and OBJ 2 (grid 056 094). Armed with Soviet-origin small arms (AK-47s, PKMs), 2-3 BRDMs, and ATGMs (TOW, Kornet). Defensive posture includes sandbag bunkers, reinforced buildings, razor wire, and containers obstructing vision and movement. IEDs emplaced at key locations around objectives. Morale is strong at OBJ 1 and OBJ 2; insurgents outside objectives are likely to flee when engaged. BRDMs positioned at key defensive points; ATGMs pose high threat on open ground. No known enemy leaders.

b. Friendly Forces:

• ●MARSOC Platoon (Raider): Main effort, tasked with reconnaissance, cache destruction, and neutralizing insurgents.
• ●80mm Mortar Battery (Hammer): Provides on-call fire support, reports to Overlord, located at grid 058 114.
• ●US Army HQ Element (Overlord): Exercises C2 from TOC at grid 058 114, Takistan, coordinates logistics, CASEVAC, and medevac, reports to higher HQ.

c. Terrain and Weather: Low ground is green, forested, and ideal for cover and concealment during infiltration. High ground consists of open hills, exposing friendly forces to detection and ATGM fire. Phase lines and avenues of approach will be marked. Operation begins at 2000, 31 OCT 25; typical Afghan autumn night weather: clear skies, 5-10°C, normal visibility, 10% moonlight.

d. Civilian Considerations: Civilians present at OBJ 1 (057 099) and OBJ 2 (056 094), some acting as enemy spotters with unknown behaviors. ROE permits neutralizing or cuffing civilians entering soldiers’ area (same building or closer than 5 meters). Minimize civilian casualties; positive identification (PID) required for engagements.

2. MISSION

MARSOC Platoon (Raider) will locate and destroy two enemy weapon caches at OBJ 1 (grid 057 099) and OBJ 2 (grid 056 094) and neutralize insurgent forces NLT 2300, 31 OCT 25, in order to cripple enemy IED capabilities.

3. EXECUTION

a. Commander’s Intent: The purpose is to degrade the enemy’s ability to conduct IED strikes by destroying weapon caches at OBJ 1 (057 099) and OBJ 2 (056 094) and inflicting major losses on insurgent forces. End state: Both caches destroyed (100% materiel neutralized), insurgents suffer major losses (>75% neutralized), MARSOC Platoon exfiltrates to TOC (058 114) with minimal to no friendly losses.

b. Concept of the Operation: MARSOC Platoon (Raider) will infiltrate on foot via low ground (forested area) at 2000, 31 OCT 25, to avoid detection on open hills. Platoon will conduct reconnaissance to confirm cache locations, then execute sequential strikes: OBJ 1 (057 099) first, followed by OBJ 2 (056 094), NLT 2300, 31 OCT 25, using C4 charges to destroy caches. 80mm Mortar Battery (Hammer) will provide on-call suppressive fires, coordinated by Raider with Overlord. Exfiltration via low ground to TOC (058 114) by 0000, 01 NOV 25. Overlord maintains C2 from TOC at grid 058 114, Takistan.

c. Tasks to Subordinate Units:

• ●MARSOC Platoon (Raider):
  • ●1st Squad: Conduct reconnaissance of OBJ 1 (057 099), confirm cache location, assault OBJ 1, destroy cache with C4, engage insurgents, then support assault on OBJ 2.
  • ●2nd Squad: Conduct reconnaissance of OBJ 2 (056 094), confirm cache location, support assault on OBJ 1, assault OBJ 2, destroy cache with C4, engage insurgents.
  • ●3rd Squad: Provide general support (security, overwatch, reserve) for both objectives; employ SMAWs to counter BRDMs and fortified positions.
  • ●Complete reconnaissance of OBJ 1 and OBJ 2 NLT 2230, 31 OCT 25.
• ●80mm Mortar Battery (Hammer): Establish firing position at grid 058 114; provide on-call suppression of BRDMs and ATGMs as directed by Raider via Overlord. No pre-planned strikes; no fires on civilian infrastructure.
• ●US Army HQ Element (Overlord): Maintain C2 from TOC at grid 058 114, Takistan, coordinate logistics, CASEVAC, and vehicle-based medevac. Monitor operation and liaise with higher HQ.

d. Coordinating Instructions:

• ●Timeline:
  • ●2100, 31 OCT 25: Infiltrate via low ground.
  • ●2230, 31 OCT 25: Complete reconnaissance of OBJ 1 (057 099) and OBJ 2 (056 094).
  • ●2300, 31 OCT 25: Execute strikes on OBJ 1, then OBJ 2.
  • ●0000, 01 NOV 25: Exfiltrate to TOC (058 114).
• ●Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs):
  • ●Exact locations of weapon caches at OBJ 1 (057 099) and OBJ 2 (056 094).
  • ●Positions and operational status of BRDMs and ATGMs.
  • ●Locations of IEDs around objectives.
• ●Rules of Engagement (ROE): PID required for weapon caches. Any combatant with a weapon is declared hostile. Civilians entering soldiers’ area (same building or <5 meters) may be neutralized or cuffed. Minimize civilian casualties.
• ●Fire Support Coordination: No pre-planned mortar strikes. Raider coordinates fires via Overlord. No-fire areas include civilian infrastructure at OBJ 1 (057 099) and OBJ 2 (056 094). JTAC attached to Raider for fire support coordination.
• ●Phase Lines: PL Alpha and PL Bravo will be marked for movement control.
• ●Contingency Plans:
  • ●If pinned by ATGMs, use smoke and mortars to break contact, regroup at safe location.
  • ●If BRDMs engage, 3rd Squad employs SMAWs; Hammer suppresses with mortars; 1st and 2nd Squads maneuver to flank.
  • ●If IEDs block approach, mark and bypass, report locations to Overlord for EOD follow-up.

4. SUSTAINMENT

a. Logistics: MARSOC Platoon (Raider) equipped with 72-hour combat load, including 10x C4 sticks with detonators per squad for cache destruction. Overlord coordinates resupply at TOC (058 114) if required. Water and ammo carried by platoon; no resupply expected during operation.

b. Medical: Platoon medic carries standard IFAK. CASEVAC and medevac via vehicle, coordinated by Overlord (call sign “Angel”). Overlord manages medevac requests.

6. RISK MITIGATION

• ●ATGMs: High risk on open hills; platoon will avoid high ground and use forested low ground for cover. Mortar suppression to counter ATGMs.
• ●BRDMs: High threat at key positions; 3rd Squad employs SMAWs to neutralize; Hammer suppresses with mortars; 1st and 2nd Squads maneuver to flank.
• ●IEDs: Reconnaissance to identify and mark IEDs; bypass if possible. Report locations to Overlord for EOD follow-up.
• ●Civilian Spotters: PID required to confirm hostile intent. Civilians within same building or <5 meters may be neutralized or cuffed; exercise caution to avoid civilian casualties.
