(OL LAND FORCES AT SD)

• Well bal Indep bde gp depl.

• Def is str by tks and arty.
• Spl forces depl in and around KPIs and imp
COMCEN.
• Tps well trained on hilly and Jungle Warfare.
• Offrs and sldrs are hardy and well trained in basic
and minor tac.

12
 THREAT WEAKNESS/VUL
(OL LAND FORCES AT SD)

• Hostile resistance in SD, spl in south.

• Log sp in terms of C sup, spares and maint.
of ammo.
• Sldrs have to live off the land.
• Need to estb a fwd log base incl repair facilities
in SD.

13
 COMMENTS
 En is likely to cause max attrition along coast line
during ldg op.
 En is cap of offering stiff resistance.
 En ME is likely to be SONAPURI – should avoid.
 Res is likely to be emp at early stage for C attk, thus
res must be blocked or delayed.
 En is not likely to be Cap of ftg a prolonged btl due to
log constraints, thus nec launching the op ASP.
 Hostile resistance at the south is likely to add value to
the amph ops of GL forces.

 THREAT ASSESSMENT

• OLAF is cap of attk all tgt inside GL mainland incl SD

• IL-76 AAR will act as force multiplier

• SU-30 and Mirage 2000 would pose max threat

• Most of the OLAF ac are NAW capable

56
 THREAT ASSESSMENT

DEDUCTIONS
• Neutralizing SU-30 and MIRAGE 2000 will facilitate to gain
the con of air over SD
• Neutralizing radar at BLUE MOUNTAIN will degrade OLAF
early wng Cap around SD.

57
 OLAF LIKELY COA

• OLAF would mainly ut RADCLIF & BLUE MTN air fd for their air
op in SD.
• Numerically superior compare to GLAF asg force.
• Unlikely to use WOL air fd for sp SD op.
• OLAF depl 4-5 MI-17 Hel and op AN-32 ac from KUMIRA airfd
(SD).
• OLAF is unlikely to op F ac from KUMIRA.

58
 C of O

• Attain & main local air superiority for ATF in and around SD
through neutralization of OLAF Offn Cap and CAP over Btl area
• Provide nec sp to ATF by conducting CAS, CASEVAC, SAR msn,

• Provide air tn for mov of tp and log
