Alternate Scenario 1 Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) (Airborne) (Kuba River Defense) Each unit brings a specific capability to the overall mission. Using the general principles from the digital reference (Plan, Prepare and Execute tabs) and the overall information from the Atropian scenario (Train tab), the following scenario can be adapted for training to meet the unique requirements of other units and UMTs. NOTE: The following is a sample template of activities. Use them for general planning purposes and training.

The Operations Process While the operations process is the same across the Army (plan, prepare, execute and assess), UMTs and chaplain sections must be able to analyze the specific mission of the unit and integrate religious support into the unit plan. The operations process enables chaplains and chaplain assistants to conduct mission analysis (ask the right questions) in order to execute religious support for a specific unit as it executes its specified mission.

IBCT (Airborne) Task Organization IBCT (Airborne) (Phase 0) IBCT (Airborne) Task Organization 1-509 PIR 2-525 PIR 5-63rd (A) CAV 1-314th FA BSB BSTB While in Phase 0, what are the planning, preparation, execution and assessment tasks required to deploy IBCT UMTs?

Scenario Overview (General) Road to War: Ariana executes attack into Atropia. Request by Government of Atropia (GoA) for support. US military and coalition forces support Atropian Defense Forces (ADF). Mission: Support Government of Atropia (GoA) in expelling Ariana forces from Atropia and eliminating the enemy’s offensive military capabilities. CJTF Atropia will assist in securing key objectives (e.g. cities, key avenues of approach, key terrain, facilities) IOT allow host nation to secure international border. Key Tasks: Defeat forces along major axis. Prevent reinforcements along major avenues of approach.

Scenario Overview (General) Scenario Detail: US Corps attack with detail in Phase III from the Corps to Brigade Combat Team level. This is in support of the Government of Atropia (GoA) conducting a counter-attack against Ariana who initiated aggressive actions. Phases of the Operation: Phases I to V. Enemy: Mechanized and light infantry forces, supported by militia and indirect fire assets, defend in depth to deny key terrain and restrict freedom of movement. Combined arms defense in complex urban terrain with five or more days to prepare. Prepared disruption zones utilizing mines, obstacles, ATGMs, indirect fires, and small arms. Militia ambush teams specifically organized to increase attack capabilities conduct hit-and-run attacks. Forces: Mainly Title 10 Forces/limited Title 32 forces. Up to Corps level. Host nation in the lead with CJTF Atropia in support with U.S and coalition forces. Terrain: Open plains in central part of country with developed road networks. Kuba river in western part of country runs north to Minaria and south to Bay of Alaza Mountainous terrain (north) and marshlands (south) that limits off-road mobility and restricts movement to road networks. WfF: Movement and Maneuver – Depicts large offensive operations from port to final engagement area in Phase III. Details include units that possess TWV and tactical placement. Mission Command – Within US units, coalition and host national forces. Intelligence – Aerial intelligence assets to support identifying targets. Fires – Conducts deep fires attack IOT facilitate seizure of OBJs. Sustainment – Provide area support for Corps operations from SPOD/APOE to PL Chicago. Protection – Assets conduct mobility, counter-mobility, survivability, general engineering, and stability operations missions throughout the AOR IOT facilitate maneuver unit sustained momentum. Operational Timelines - 52 Days (Staging) - 18 Days (Offense) - 30 Days (Defense) 1 2 3 1 2 3 Staging – Build CJTF Atropia Combat Power (Phase I and II) Offense – Restore International Border (Phase III) Defense – Secure International Border (Phase IV and V)

IBCT (Airborne): Alert and Deploy IBCT (Airborne) receives notification of a deployment to Atropia to support Atropian Defense Forces defending along the Kuba River against Ariana forces. Deployment of IBCT enables CJTF Atropia to build combat power west of the Kuba River for future counter-attack to restore the international border. The Airborne Brigade UMT immediately begins an N-hour sequence. Mission: Defense

SAMPLE 18 Hour airborne N-sequence What are the planning, preparation, execution and assessment tasks required to deploy UMTs to Atropia?

Sample Airborne N-Hour Activities Some activities may be time sensitive or not executable based on OPSEC, mission requirements or time constraints (e.g. 18 hour sequence). NOTE: Use for general training and planning purposes.  1. ALERT UMTs report within specified recall time Mission statement is given. (Coord. 1 up, 1 down) Call Staff together, ministry to UMTs Staff Mission Analysis Running estimate, concept of religious support, SOPs, RAA/RIA and indigenous religions information Determine implied and specified tasks VERIFY EQUIPMENT AND PERSONNEL STATUS Determine equipment required and shortages TOE equipment authorized and TOE equipment in excess Worship Supplies (90 day supply) and shortages TA-50 and shortages Personal gear/clothing and shortages Determine personnel required and shortages Status of UMTs Personnel who are deployable and shortages Personnel to be reassigned Fills for shortages Request equipment Reassignments for non-deployable personnel Receive personnel House new personnel PDP new personnel Equip new personnel Verify Religious Preference Profile Prepare/verify packing list

Sample Airborne N-Hour Activities EXECUTE FAMILY SUPPORT PLAN (NOTE: if applicable) Determine dates/time of commander's family briefing Attend Family Support Briefing Complete personal inventory off-post Plan personal time for closure with family RECEIVE EQUIPMENT SHORTAGES Pick-up and sign for equipment Technical inspection of equipment and PMCS Order parts shortages for equipment Bring equipment to deployable status

Sample Airborne N-Hour Activities 5.

Sample Airborne N-Hour Activities LOCK-IN Final PDP verification Draw equipment (e.g. weapon, NODs) Load A-BAG with personal gear load times Secure personal effects and office equipment Go to aerial port of embarkation (APOE)

Mission: Rapid Deployment; Defend along Kuba River; O/O Redeploy CONUS Area of operations What are the planning, preparation, execution and assessment tasks required to deploy IBCT UMTs to Atropia to sustain Soldiers supporting Atropian Defense Forces defending against Ariana forces along the Kuba River and then redeploy? What impacts the execution of the RS mission from deployment to redeployment? What is unique about the Airborne IBCT, its mission and the area of operations that impact the execution of religious support? For example: Mission: Rapid Deployment; Defend along Kuba River; O/O Redeploy CONUS Movement from CONUS to OCONUS locations (e.g. equipment, supplies, personnel, accountability) Rear Detachment coverage plan Technical supervision (terrain, roads, missions in multiple locations, by phase, echelon of command) Location of UMTs and concept of religious support by phase/location Communication and accountability plan by phase Redeployment and Reunion plan
