1. Situation
2. Area of Interest - AO Lithium
3. Terrain Saint Kapaulio
4. Obstacles & Fields of Fire. Saint Kapaulio is made up of many large and flat forests with scattered steep hills. Forests are a mix of dense and sparse, with most areas being extremely open for ground movement. 
5. Avenues of Approach. Multiple dirt roads run between small villages, and paved MSRs connect main population areas.
6. Key Terrain. Elevated areas and urban centers dominate the surrounding area.
7. Cover and Concealment. Key terrain features make for easy cover and forests make way for concealment of troop movements.
8. Weather. Hot and Humid
9. Time and Light Conditions. Late Afternoon

1. Enemy Forces. 
2. Size. Enemy elements include heavily armed troops from the Saint Kapaulio Cartel. Forces have built up and been recruited over time, but the total size is unknown.
3. Capabilities. Enemy weaponry includes mostly FN systems. Vehicles include ex-Spanish Humvees with mounted M2s, M113s, and weaponized civilian vehicles, but their access to heavy armor is sparse. The enemy has access to a variety of attack helicopters, including CH-146s and Mi-29s.
4. Recent Activity. The enemy has been well-prepared for an attack for multiple months. Recent attacks have spurred an increase in garrisoned forces and outer patrols. Helicopters have also been spotted searching areas near important locations.
5. Expected Course of Action. Enemies are likely to defend their positions and inflict maximum damage on Allied Forces before retreating to other positions. Poor preparedness may cause QRF timers to be heavily delayed.
