    10. Hostage Rescue: Armed and dangerous
    11. Operation Codename: Anaconda Communications: MNF Command Authority, Colonel Stone Ops Intel: A small group of insurgents, a mujahideen proxy military force for al-Qaeda, on the island of Ayab (50 miles from the coast of Murma) are holding one or two hostages. The insurgent leader’s identity is unknown but from information provided by the escaped interpreter, a rendered portrait is depicted on the right. It is likely the insurgents expect a rescue attempt by a coalition force. It is also expected the insurgent leader will attempt to relocate the physician hostage off of Ayab before a rescue attempt can be executed. OPERATION PRE-BRIEF Rendered drawing: identity unknown Slide courtesy of Dr. Andrew Stricker
    12. Operation Codename: Anaconda Communications: MNF Command Authority, Colonel Stone Ops Intel: One of the hostages, pictured on the right, is an internationally known physician associated with the World Relief Organization. She and a small team of relief workers went to the isolated island of Ayab following a typhoon to provide medical assistance and evacuation of island inhabitants before another expected typhoon hits the island in the next 48 hours. The escaped interpreter reported the physician was wounded in the leg and the other remaining hostage was shot dead on the attempted escape.

    13. Operation Codename: Anaconda Communications: MNF Command Authority, Colonel Stone Ops Intel: The island of Ayab has an abandoned WWII era u-boat base located on a lagoon inlet from the south bay. The island is hilly and rocky with sparse vegetation. It is believed the insurgents have fortified the u-boat base. Satellite photos suggest the presence of underground tunnels . Slide courtesy of Dr. Andrew Stricker South lagoon and U-boat base location OPERATION PRE-BRIEF
    14. Operation Codename: Anaconda Communications: MNF Command Authority, Colonel Stone COA: The team will be inserted on the southeast side of the lagoon entrance under the cover of darkness. Using zodiac crafts the team will proceed to the lower u-boat docking area and recon the warehouse. An exit defense zone will also be established for the extraction. Via intercepted cell phone calls, MNF intel reports the hostages are likely located in the underground u-boat quarters. Extraction of the hostages should proceed back to the defense zone for zodiac evac. Be prepared to adapt COA depending on situational factors. Mission duration NTE 2 hrs. OPERATION PRE-BRIEF Content by Dr. Andrew Stricker, 2008
    15. Operation Codename: Anaconda Communications: MNF Command Authority, Colonel Stone Ops Intel: Defense satellites are being positioned to provide for near continuous coverage of Ayab. Mission communication will be via secured MNF satellite uplink and downlink channels. Additionally, a predator UAV is being positioned to provide assistance as needed . Slide courtesy of Dr. Andrew Stricker OPERATION PRE-BRIEF
    16. Operation Codename: Anaconda Communications: MNF Command Authority, Colonel Stone Ops Intel: Historical Ayab photos on the right depict fortified bunkers from the u-boat base area and warnings of a mine field. Expect the insurgents to use the bunkers and tunnels to resist extraction of the hostages. Insurgents are expected to be well armed with AK-47s and rocket propelled launchers.

    17. Operation Codename: Anaconda Communications: MNF Command Authority, Colonel Stone
      • Operation ROEs:
      • Proceed only via operation directives obtained from MNF communications (Operation Flags)
      • Reach Operation Flags (1 to 8) by allotted time constraints
      • Use only minimal force necessary for safe extraction of hostages
      • Respect civilian property and protect innocent civilians from harm
      • Slide courtesy of Dr. Andrew Stricker
      OPERATION PRE-BRIEF
    18. Operation Codename: Anaconda Communications: MNF Command Authority, Colonel Stone
      • Remember MNF Operation ROEs
      • Review the COA
      • Rehearse operation roles
      • Gear up for insertion into Ayab
