(Tasking data sheet attached)
Summary:
Area composed of a long, straight coast, low mountains with
vegetation inland; lots of cover and concealment available. Most
activity takes place inland.
(AOL-Central America/Thailand) .
The opposing forces, although not highly trained are professional
and obedient -- not a rag-tag outfit.
They are not afraid to
engage and will stand their ground if the tactical situation
warrants.
They "do what they must do" to support a "cause" but
are not fanatically attached to it. They are in business "for
the long term". Most, or all, of their time is spent in the
field.
They are well supplied (AOL-by Soviets) with food (AOL-
manioc) , small arms, ammo and clothing (brown boots) .
(AOL-Hind
helicopters in support of the "cause"/Central America/Angola) .
The force, (what I perceive to be about 150 men), prefers to
travel in file formation. They are an autonomous group, but may
be connected with a native civilian who "negotiates" on behalf of
them and their cause (AOL-Nabbi Berri). This OPFOR has the
initiative in most engagements, and they always seem to attack
from the high ground.
Spies/informants are perceived passing
target information to one of the "officers" (who is about 30 yrs
old, white or brown skin).
