Enemy territory is to the SOUTH and EAST, friendly territory to the NORTH and WEST.
Friendly forces are on the defensive and have started a withdrawal of own forces due to enemy breakthrough. A friendly Mechanized Infantry Battalion is in defensive positions protecting a key bridge, preventing enemy forces to cross the bridge to continue their pursuit NORTHWEST toward MELFJORDBOTN. At MELFJORDBOTN a friendly brigadeheadquarter are in the process of packing down and withdraw further NORTH. A friendly observation post is located 3NM SOUTH, SOUTH-EAST of JTAC location (see NO-FIRE ZONE in CombatFlite). In addition, it is LIKELY that a friendly recon force also have a observation post in the area.
Enemy forces are a Company Task Group (CTG) consisting of two mechanized infantry platoons and one platoon of MBT, supported by artillery and air defence.
