Mission:
64th BSB, 3 ABCT, 4 ID executes OPERATION IRON STRIKE Force on Force
Operations on 08-14 JUL 16 at Fort Carson, CO in order to train Soldiers and
leaders for NTC rotation 16-09, future decisive action operations, and to prepare
the BN for its allocated EUCOM RAF mission
Commander’s Intent:
The purpose of this operation is to train the Soldiers and leaders of 64th BSB for
NTC rotation 16-09 and future decisive action operations
Key Tasks:
1. Maintain proficiency on all Key Collective Tasks
2. Synchronize logistics operations across the brigade
3. Employ the FLE efficiently in order to maintain freedom of maneuver for the
brigade.
End State:
64th BSB is prepared to deploy and sustain the Iron Brigade in support of decisive
operations. Increase the ability to relocate the FLE for prolong missions, and
efficiently provide sustainment functions throughout the brigade.
Concept of the Operation: This will be a four phase operation
Phase I: (Preparation)- This phase begins after BSA established at DZ Plateau on
08JUL16 and ends when the battalion prepare for training execution.
Phase II: (Execution)- This phase begins when all companies conduct initial
training with the Forward Support Companies and ends with the culminating event
of BSA LFX on 12JUL16.
Phase III: (BSA Relocation)- This phase begins when the BSA start initial
movement to DZ Becca on 13JUL16 in order to continue to support the brigade
for phase III, and ends when all companies arrived to DZ Becca NLT 14JUL.
Phase IV: (BSA Establishment)- This phase begins when quartering party arrives
at DZ Becca for initial set-up and ends when SSA is completely established on
15JUL16 and ready to support follow on mission.

Intent: The purpose of this operation is to certify companies prior to NTC Rotation 16-09 on collective tasks while
conducting BSA operations. Validate FLE’s composition and ability to provide responsive and continuous support during
decisive actions. Continue to certify leaders and their ability to execute tactical logistics.
Key Task:
1. Exercise core competencies
2. Validate companies
3. Validate Battalion TACSOP
4. Increase ability to displace the BSA
End State:
Friendly: BSB is able to provide expeditionary support and displace BSA during DA Ops
Enemy: Deter enemy’s ability to gather information on the BSA
Terrain: BSB maintains freedom of maneuver on LOCs
Civil: BSB does not impede on flow of traffic along FCCO MSRs
Decisive Operation: BSA jump from DZ plateau to DZ Becca
Shaping Operations: BSA is established IVO DZ Plateau. Main supply Route 6/11 is the primary route to sustain combat
power during the operation. To shorten resupply timelines, a FLE will be established IVO DZ Becca to provide unit
distribution resupply to the southern maneuver units during decisive operations.
Sustainment Operations: 64 BSB will use LRPs and unit distribution in order to support 3ABCT with CL I, CL II, CL III, CL
IV, CL V, CL VII, CL VIII, and CL IX.
Assumed Risk: Positioning logistics assets forward with limited personnel and defensive capabilities. We will mitigate this
by ensuring the FLE maintains its own security elements and never be out longer than three days while the BSA jumps to
its location.

Mission: 64th BSB provides continuous sustainment support ISO Operation Iron Strike from 05-22July16 IVO FCCO IOT
train on decisive action operations and enable company certifications.
Intent: The purpose of this operation is to certify companies prior to NTC Rotation 16-09 on collective tasks while
conducting BSA operations. Validate FLE’s composition and ability to provide responsive and continuous support during
decisive actions. Continue to certify leaders and their ability to execute tactical logistics.
Key Task:
1. Exercise core competencies
2. Validate companies
3. Validate Battalion TACSOP
4. Increase ability to displace the BSA
End State:
Friendly: BSB is able to provide expeditionary support and displace BSA during DA Ops
Enemy: Deter enemy’s ability to gather information on the BSA
Terrain: BSB maintains freedom of maneuver on LOCs
Civil: BSB does not impede on flow of traffic along FCCO MSRs
Decisive Operation: BSA jump from DZ Plateau to DZ Becca
Shaping Operations: BSA is established IVO DZ Plateau. Main supply Route 6/11 is the primary route to sustain
combat power during the operation. To shorten resupply timelines, a FLE will be established permanently IVO DZ
Pueblo to provide unit distribution resupply to the maneuver units throughout the AO during decisive operations.
Sustainment Operations: 64 BSB will use LRPs and supply point distribution in order to support 3ABCT with CL I, CL II,
CL III, CL IV, CL V, CL VII, CL VIII, and CL IX.
Assumed Risk: Positioning logistics assets forward with limited personnel and defensive capabilities. We will mitigate by
ensuring the FLE maintains its own security elements and be resupplied by local battle space owner as maneuver units
conduct passage of lines.

Recommendation
COA 2:
- Enables BSB to rehearse FLE operations that will be critical for support during NTC Rotation 16-09
- Validates ability to conduct Split Operations by testing mission command systems
- Validates FLE composition and generates accurate estimates for future operations
- Allows commander to maintain operational momentum throughout DA ops
- Simultaneously train on all three distribution methods
Team, the timeline across the upper portion of the slide is our recommended timeline for Rotation 16-05. This includes five days of RSOI&I, with days 4 and 5 contested. RSOI transitions directly into 14 days of Force on Force, executing the Final Phase of Force on Force under Live Fire Conditions. Below the timeline is a map or Erdabil Province in Northern Atropia.
In order to ensure we build the right level of complexity within Erdabil Province, we utilize two key documents. First is the the DATE 2.2 manual seen in the right hand corner of the slide, which can be pulled from ATN, and provides the general scenario for our plans team to modify. The second key document we use is TC 7-101, Exercise Design. This document provides specifics for each of the OE Variables (PMESII-PT) and sub-varibales with defenitions and concepts that drive planning. As part of the Mission Letter, we are requesting a description of each OE Variable – these varibales will aid OPS GRP in adjusting to rheostat of the scenario to meet your intent.
