Concept – punch a hole, exploit, move quickly to secure dominating positions, then push through to rear areas and disrupt and dislocate. First wave push through Bear, secure Rat, Moose, Elk and Fox. Follow on forces – 1 tank bn to secure valley north of Fox then 1 tank and 1 MR bn push through and left hook to approach Dog from north (force benefits from surprise). 2nd MR Bn clears any remnants from Bear and holds as reserve.
