Salafegaj, Markazi province, Iran*

Division has made spectacular headway along Road 56. Organised Iranian resistance has been light. Some Iranian units have surrendered without a fight. Overall their fighting spirit seems to have deteriorated markedly. 1st Infantry is also making good progress in the north, while the Marines are racing northward in the direction of Teheran. If we don’t push on hard now there is a good chance either of these units will get to the big finish before us.*
*
TERRAIN AND WEATHER:* 
We have entered the mountainous Markazi province. The roads are important as the terrain is very rugged.*
*
1.__SITUATION:*
Division is pushing east along Road 56. We are to take the lead and clear the way as far as Salafegaj crossroads and open the road to Qom.*
*
__a. Enemy Forces:*
Enemy forces are established in our line of advance. They are most likely dug in. Expect them to occupy all villages. We do not know what unit they belong to but intel suggests little or no armor. Expect the majority to be infantry forces. *

You will have some artillery support from Division on call, as well as some air.*
*
*

None.*
