1. Return to my platoon and quickly brief my Platoon Sergeant and Squad Leaders on the situation and change in mission.
2. Get the platoon moving IAW the company commander’s orders.
3. Halt just inside the wood line to the left of the road (and out of sight of anyone in the clearing beyond) and deploy the platoon with 2 squads on line and one back.
4. Move out on command with two squads forward and one covering in a traveling over watch formation. Platoon leader to move with one messenger just behind the rightmost squad and Platoon Sergeant and the other two messengers with the over watch squad.

1 with LMGs and me
1 back

Lead 2 on line. 1 and LMG come up , now 1 squad and LMG as support fires.
I maneuver 3 squads depending on situation but probably more left to flank with 2 up 1 back.
1 stays in reserve , 1 envelop with 2 up , 1 trailing.
I should stay with the LMGs perhaps, but too bad. We’re flanking 2 up 1 back squads.
