AA, You are absolutely right....but why stop there? MM what is the name of this pongo chap......I was one once too you know (20 yrs in the Cav).....and am bound to be able to get the low down for you......know your 'enemy' and all that....unless he was a gunner of course....then don't bother as he's a 'sitting duck'!
IAEF - a close target recce has already been auth'd
May I suggest employing counter ambush drills in this situation
Those will form a part of MM's actions on, but a QRF will be needed if an ambush takes place
