Oberst,

I'm sorry I could not give you and your men more time to rest but the situation is critical.
The 181st Inf Div has been encircled near the village of Trnovo next to Mount Igman.  Your unit is the best I have for high altitude mountain combat.  The fastest route to Trnovo is to cross the mountain itself and then proceed to take village.

We believe that JANL forces are positioned on Mt. Igman.  You are to engage and destroy them onroute to Trnovo.  We will probably have to use the Mountain as an escape corridor for the 181st Div.
