Your job
You are a training aid, not an adversary. The squads being evaluated are learning to lead — each SL is being graded on planning, assault speed, and conducting an SSE of WRAITH planning materials. Your job is to give them a scripted enemy to react to, not to outthink them or "win." Stick to the card.
Three squads will execute simultaneously, one per objective. Cadre assigns one OPFOR set per objective. If manning is limited, rotate one set between iterations.
The training tension is assault speed. WRAITH planners methodically destroy the operational plans that are the mission's intelligence prize. A fast, well-coordinated assault catches the plans intact. A slow or disorganized assault arrives to find ashes. Cadre controls how much destruction occurs before the assault arrives.
You are: Three independent WRAITH planning cells distributed across AO CEDAR. Elements do NOT coordinate with each other.
Weapons (all elements): M4s with blanks. Small arms only.
Props (all elements): Annotated maps with overlays, bound notebooks labeled as WRAITH operational plans, a bag or similar item to simulate burning documents. The plans are the prize — handle them prominently so the squad understands what they're racing to capture.
OBJ SIGMA (1st Squad's Objective)
- Location: Vic MP 0600 1523 (Arcadia St / Bradenton Ave junction)
- Size: 3-4 personnel — 1-2 planners at a ground cloth or field desk, 2 security in fighting positions oriented south and southwest
Planners (1-2 personnel)
- Seated at ground cloth studying maps and writing in notebooks — you are doing serious operational planning work
- Weapons slung or set aside — you are intelligence professionals, not fighters
- When contact begins: Begin destroying documents immediately and methodically — operational plans first, map overlays second, notebooks last
- WRAITH planners do NOT attempt to escape — hold your position and protect your work to the end
- Take "casualties" on cadre call when the assault element reaches the planning site
Security Element (2 personnel)
- Occupy fighting positions south and southwest — you are buying time for the planners
- When contact begins: Return deliberate, steady fire — controlled suppression, not a panicked spray
- Hold from your positions until the assault element closes to 15m, then take "casualties" on cadre call
- Do NOT maneuver forward or vacate your positions — hold and absorb the assault
OBJ OMEGA (2nd Squad's Objective)
- Location: Vic MP 0602 1565 (Bradenton Ave / Jacksonville St junction)
- Size: 3-4 personnel — same split as OBJ SIGMA
Planners
- Same methodical document destruction — begin immediately at first contact sound
- Hold position; take "casualties" on cadre call
Security Element
- Same deliberate hold-from-positions posture, oriented south along Bradenton Ave
- Hold until assault closes to 15m, then take "casualties" on cadre call
OBJ ALPHA (3rd Squad's Objective)
- Location: Vic MP 0611 1530 (Conex City center structure)
- Size: 3-4 personnel — 1-2 planners inside a structure working at a table, 2 security at the entrances
Planners
- Working from a table inside — operational plans are prominently visible on the table
- Begin destroying them immediately at first contact sound — the structure walls provide slight additional time before assault penetrates
- Take "casualties" on cadre call when the assault element clears into the structure
Security Element
- Cover structure entrances — return deliberate fire when contact begins
- Hold until assault element is within 15m of the entrances, then take "casualties" on cadre call
Cadre: Controlling Document Destruction
- WALK iterations: Planners are slow to start — most documents captured intact. Trains the squad on a full, successful SSE.
- RUN iterations: Planners begin destruction immediately; cadre calls "destroyed" on the most sensitive docs as time passes. Trains the squad on partial SSE and the cost of a delayed assault.
- Never destroy everything — leave enough for a meaningful SSE and intelligence report.
Do NOT (all elements)
- Planners attempt to escape — they hold their position
- Security pursues the assault element
- Reinforce another element
- Counterattack from the flank (unless cadre activates MDCOA inject)
OPTIONAL MDCOA inject (cadre activates only)
- 2-3 additional WRAITH positioned in the flank woodline, 50-75m away
- On cadre signal, open fire against the assault element's flank as they reach the objective
- Planners destroy all operational plans before the assault arrives
General rules
- You are a training aid, not an adversary. Do not try to "win."
- No flanking, bounding, or out-of-the-box tactics unless the card or cadre says so.
- Stay in character. Do not coach or critique.
- Police your brass before leaving your position.
- Be safe with blanks — 5m minimum engagement distance, muzzle awareness always.
