2nd Brigde has again been assigned to serve as the Division advance guard. 1-35th Armor has been trailing behind the lead elements as the Division has advanced into the hilly Lorestan province without meeting much opposition. Upon approaching the Air Field of Khorramabad the 1-35th is again ordered to take point.*
*
TERRAIN AND WEATHER:*
Lorestan is a mountainous region but the Khorramabad airfield and surrounding area is flat as a pool table and heavily cultivated. It is a tanker’s dream!*
*
1.__SITUATION:*
Our forces are advancing along all designated advance routes. 1st Infantry Division to our north is making very good progress. It is believed they might get to Teheran before us! Elements of the enemy 92nd Armored Division is dug in around the Khorramabad Air Field. It is our job to break through.*
*
__a. Enemy Forces:*
Our opponent is the 92nd Armored Division. They have proven to be brave soldiers although no match for us. We expect the airfield to be held by a battalion size force, with some of the best enemy tanks the Iranians field. They are dug in and we expect them to fight from fixed positions. They have previously conducted spoiling attacks. Keep your eye out for this.*
*
__b. Friendly Forces:*
You will enjoy massive artillery support from Division and Corps.*
There will also be considerable air power on call should you need it, both fixed and rotary wing aircraft.*
*
*
__c. Attachments/Detachments:*
None.*

2.__MISSION:*
Your mission is to defeat the enemy units in and around Khorramabad Airfield.*
