Gweru Airport - MVT

Max has a new thing he is running through his blog. It gives the readers a scenario and he then asks us to create a solution or plan of action. His original post can be read here.

I decided to give it a go. Having no military experience whatsoever, this is what I came up with:

Here are my thoughts. Perhaps I’ve seen too many war movies but I thought a lower profile infiltration team might be a little better than busting thru the gates guns blazing.

8 teams total. 28 Men total
Team #1               4 men, 2 IEDs each

Team #2               4 men – security/support

Team #3               3 men – Mortar Team – 5 rounds HE, target: Barracks

Team #4               3 men – Mortar Team – 5 rounds HE, 1 round WP, Primary: Admin,
secondary: fuel tanks

Team #5 and #6 – (2) 2 man teams QRF/Exfil- 4 total

Land Rover Teams (Driver, Gunner w/ DSHK)
Space for 5 additional personnel each

Team #7 and #8 QRF/Exfil teams – (2) 5 man teams – 10 total

Land Rover Teams (Driver, Rear Gunner w/ DSHK, 5 in back with AK47s
Space for 2 additional personnel each



Attack – Set for 0200

Team #1 will infiltrate on foot at 0200 from the northwest thru tree line then locate aircraft, place explosives and exfil on foot to pick-up location. Team #2 will provide rear security and support for Team #1, both teams wait at pick-up point, charges are then blown – Team #1 and #2 wait for pick-up at tree line. This will signal the motor teams #3 & 4to fire their HE rounds targeting enemy barracks and admin buildings and the WP round on fuel tanks. Once rounds are complete, Team #3 and 4 will exfil on foot.

QRF/Exfil Teams #5 and #6 will pick up Team #1 and #2 at rally point as mortar attack begins and proceed to secondary pick-up location for teams #3 & #4. After mortar rounds are complete and fuel tanks have been destroyed/ignited by WP round, Team #3 & #4 will exfil on foot to secondary pick-up location off map. Team #7 and #8 QRF/Exfil teams will pick-up mortar teams while en route to FreeFor base.

 Let me know what you think.
