The invasion of Iran is proceeding according to plan. 1st Armored has made the best progress so far. The British to the south are advancing in a more cautious manner and along the northern route the 1st Infantry Division has been slowed down some. We have a good chance of winning the race to Teheran. You are to advance and seize the town of Andimeshk, an important road and railway hub.*
*
TERRAIN AND WEATHER:*
Andimeshk is built on a plain. There are some small streams and hills in the area and of course a lot of urban terrain.*
*
1.__SITUATION:*
The 1st Brigade will bypass Andimeshk and continue push north along the main road. 
2nd Brigade will secure the towns of Dezful, Andimeshk and the nearby military airfield.
1-35 Armor is tasked with securing Andimeshk. We need to have control over this road in order to be able to supply our advance to Teheran.*
*
__a. Enemy Forces:*
We do not know in what strength Andimeshk is held but expect infantry to be occupying positions in town. Elements of the Iranian 92nd Armored Division has been located east of the town and near the air field. It is the enemy’s premier regular formation, the only of its kind. It has been subject to massive attention from the air force and we expect their fighting value to be reduced. Also, we have spotted a column of trucks, most likely from the enemy infantry division encountered earlier withdrawing along Road 64 towards the southern outskirts of the town.*
*
__b. Friendly Forces:*
Artillery support from Corps Artillery will be available. 
You will have priority on support from both attack helicopters and air force ground attack.*

*
__c. Attachments/Detachments:*
None.*

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