5 Strategic: Korea 1950 Blue forces have been driven into the Pusan pocket, but are ready to conduct a counterattack. The Blue commander has identified two choices: –Probe for weaknesses in Red’s line and use mechanized reserve forces to break out of the Pusan pocket. –Flank Red by performing an amphibious landing behind Red’s front line, then drive out of the Pusan pocket.

7 Operational: Lebanon A paramilitary faction calling itself “Black December” has denounced Syria, its erstwhile supporter, condemning King Assad for negotiating with Israel. The faction has broken free from Syrian control and is conducting terrorist attacks threatening to unravel a peace agreement that would return the Golan to Syria. Lebanese authorities have been unable to suppress the group and have asked the United States to act to save the peace process. The Blue commander must consider the following in planning strikes: –Collateral damage to civilians and their property must be avoided or minimized. –Most bases and training camps are located in mountainous or hilly terrain that is difficult to approach by air assets. –Black December is known to possess AAA weapons and shoulder- launched SAMs that would pose a threat to low-flying aircraft.
