REPOST: TDG 2: Neighborhood Defense

Originally posted on American Partisan on March 16, 2021

I started this series, TDG (Tactical Decision Game) Tuesdays, to get you more in the mindset of how you could potentially handle a given tactical scenario with a limited amount of resources and manpower. My goal is to get you to read these scenarios and think about what resources you have available, what sort of scenarios you might encounter, and what gaps you need to fill in your equipment/training.

I will use the basic 5-paragraph operations order format, or SMEAC, to present the scenario as follows;

• Situation: Disposition of all friendly, hostile, and adjacent forces.
• Mission: What we are trying to do.
• Execution: How we are going to do it.
• Admin & Logistics: Who/what is getting where and how.
• Command & Signal: Who is in charge and how they are communicating.

Partially inspired by the book “Lights Out” by David Crawford.
