THE ASSAULT [MILSIM, SP]

"In war the power to use two fists is an inestimable asset. To feint with one fist and strike with the other yields an advantage, but a still greater advantage lies in being able to interchange them, to convert the feint into the real blow if the opponent uncovers himself."




As the NATO invasion of Altis advances, a CSAT assault force has been assembled in order to take and hold a CHECKPOINT on a strategic road network linking Dorida to Charkia in preparation for a general counterattack aiming to restore CSAT and AAF control on Altis.






-An ASSAULT is similar to the RAID, with the difference that it aims to seize and hold the territory gained, the assault force goes into a defensive posture immediately after capturing the objective.

-The enemy is likely to COUNTERATTACK right after a position is taken, because the attacking unit will be disorganized and dealing with casualties and low on ammo.

-Because the enemy will have COUNTERATTACK forces nearby ready to react to an ASSAULT; FIRE and MANEUVER tactics must be used to allow friendly forces to quickly and as safely as possible take the objective and set up for defense.

-The SUPPORT elements will SUPPRESS the enemy position by fire and use SMOKE to obscure it in order to prevent the defenders from engaging the ASSAULT element.

-The ASSAULT element will use the best concealed approach to close with the objective and overwhelm the enemy defenders at close range.

-The enemy may set up MUTUALLY SUPPORTING positions, this will require coordination between multiple elements to ASSAULT and destroy both positions simultaneously.

-SYNCHRONIZATION is also essential to fully take advantage of the effects of using complementary forces, the ASSAULT element must be ready to move on the objective as soon as the SUPPORT element opens fire to prevent the enemy from locating and attacking it.

-CROSSFIRE allows two or more elements to act as complementary forces, enhancing their overall effect on the enemy compared to an attack from a single direction, due to the simple fact that it reduces the enemy ability to take cover and restricts his maneuver space.
