OPERATION: HASTY RESCUE
Situation: Members of a Special Operations Team are pinned down in a firefight in an urban area in Baghdad Iraq. Approximately 20 minutes ago, the team leader radioed in to request back up. Ammo is running low and enemy forces are increasing. In the call, the team leader stated that the enemy is well armed with small arms and rocket launchers, and therefore insert via helicopter is discouraged. The team is unable to move from their position due to snipers in surrounding buildings. They have no casualties, but do have one injured member.
Objective: Insert small team to disrupt enemy and assist team in moving to safe extraction point. Patrol on foot. Move quickly and purposefully to maintain element of surprise. Expect enemy contact.
Actions at the Objective: Disrupt enemy stronghold by approaching from unprotected location and eliminate snipers. Rendezvous with team and resupply ammo. Assist team with hasty extract.
Extract: When enemy forces have been dealt with to the point that the team can move from where they were pinned down, the QRF (quick reaction force) will assist in carrying any injured members to safe pickup location. Again, enemy contact is expected.
Time Line:The pinned down team has enough ammunition to last about 20 minutes. If the team runs out, they will be powerless to repel any direct assault and will sustain high casualties. Therefore it is imperative that the QRF is at the objective point before then.
FMP WORKOUT:
Insert:5 Rounds: Run 400 Meters, 10-KB Swings, 10-Thrusters , 10-Pull Ups. Timeline for Insert: 20 minutes max (weights tba saturday.)
Actions at the Objective: 100 Burpees (done together if working as a team)
Extract: Run 1 mile carrying at least 35 lbs. Cannot put weight down ever. If you missed the INSERT TIMELINE: For every minute you go over on your insert, add 10 lbs (beginning with 35lbs).
Special Notes:
There is no time to rest on the extract. Move with a purpose throughout the workout. The entire rescue operation should not take more than 1 hour.
Mission is Fictitious.

Bring a back pack, weighted vest, pants with really big pockets......... something to carry 35#'s comfortably.
