"Ok, you meat heads, settle down. I want to cover assignments first. Nixon, you are with Grigory; Kavita, you and Faahjeed are sniper team;  Derek, you get to work with Aditya; Jacob, you are with TC this trip and 'Doc' you are with me. Check your datapads."

All we know for certain is something breached the atmosphere and all communication with our colony is black. We don't know who is there, why this happened or what to expect. So expect anything. This could be a renegade human faction or it could be some alien intervention."<br/><br/>"Our mission is to conduct reconnaissance in the vicinity of the Primus capital and gather as much information on any hostiles as well as friendlies that may be present on the surface. We need to find out who is there, why the communications are out so the UENIB can come up with an educated plan to correct the situation."<br/><br/>"In order to complete this mission, we will operate in two-person teams. Our intent is to gather intelligence, not to engage in firefights. Avoid contact with hostiles if at all possible. Use your firepower to break contact. Break contact and get the hell away from them. If you do make contact, get on the Division net and let Commander Dylan know ASAP. Derek and I will monitor that frequency and know as soon as you let the boss know."<br/><br/>"Team X-Ray, you are our primary demolitions team. Have demolitions prepared, but do not plan to detonate anything. These are a contingency plan for explosives in case we need them. They may be used to breach or to help exfiltrate from a bad situation, if necessary. Your primary mission, is to gather intelligence."<br/><br/>"Team Sierra, even though you are the Team's Sniper element, you will not be used as snipers for your primary mission. You will travel along elevated terrain conducting the same mission as the rest of us. Be prepared to assume the role of Sniper element, should the need arise. Be prepared to cover an exfiltration route of any Division 46 Team."<br/><br/>"Team Foxtrot, you are conducting the same reconnaissance mission as the rest of us. Be prepared to call in for indirect fire from<span style="font-style: italic">UES Loki.</span>They will have a battery of heavy cannons dedicated to our support as needed. We also have two light air units available should we require attack aircraft and  a platoon of atmospheric assault marines ready to jump in if needed. They will be our cavalry. I will be monitoring all of this."<br/><br/>"Myself and Doc Duvall will maintain a casualty collection point at various rally points enroute to our first objective. These casualty collection points will update on your datapad as we advance. If you do get into trouble, let the team know. We should all be within close proximity of one another in order to support our friends. We don't want anyone swinging in the wind. Sierra is remaining along an elevated route in order to provide overwatch if needed."<br/><br/>"In addition to our General Combat Team (GCT), there is an additional GCT, a Specialized advanced Recon Team (SRT) and an advanced weapons and tactics team (AWT) operating in our Area of Operations (AO). I will have communications with them and with Commander Dylan."<br/><br/>"For Command and Signal, we will all operate on our standard Team Frequency while monitoring the Division Frequency. Commander Dylan has callsign Diver zero six. The other GCT is known as Team Golf. The SRT is Team Tango and the AWT is Team Mike. The reinforcing platoon's Leader has callsign Dagger zero six. If we should get into trouble, our team order of succession is Derek, me, Nixon, Kavita, Jacob, Faahjeed, Aditya, TC, Grigory and Doc Duvall." The order of succession is intended to provide direction for the team, should they get into trouble. If the team leader is eliminated, the next person in the order takes his place as team leader until there is one person remaining to continue the mission.<br/><br/>"For Supply, I want everyone to grab two basic loads of ammunition for your weapons. Insure your cleaning kits are well stocked and take care of your weapons. Nixon, go over your Class V allocation to insure you have what you need." Class V covers ammunition as well as explosives. Nixon knew Riddler was referring to the explosives, detonation cord, fuze cord, firing devices and blasting caps. The blasting caps are transported in a wooden box by the second person in Nixon's team, Grigory Kuznetsov. Trained explosives experts know never to mix the explosives and the caps as they could accidentally go off when you least expect it. "Bring rations for three days and insure your hydration bladders are full. Are there any questions?"<br/><br/>"Thank you Brian." Derek spoke as he returned to the center of the room. "Communication is going to be of the utmost importance in this. More important than usual. Brian wasn't exaggerating when he said alien intervention. We believe this to be a renegade faction, but as Riddler said; be prepared for anything." Derek gestured to Brian with a wave of his hand. "Brian is going to be my second and will be feeding intel regularly as it's given from the other ten man teams and the 5 fireteams therein. If you have any questions while in the field defer to either of us and we will help to the best of our ability. Protocol on communications and signaling might change depending on what we encounter planet side." Derek paused a moment and studied his team's faces. "Now that we've reviewed the mission parameters, are there any questions?"
