Good scenario.

COA 1 - Keep the truck and all its contents, with driver consent.

COA 2 - Keep the truck and all its contents, without driver consent.

COA 3 - Send the driver on his way, with all of his cargo, and no escort.

COA 4 - Send the driver on his way, with all of his cargo, and an escort.

COA 5 - Send the driver on his way, with some of his cargo, and no escort.

COA 6 - Send the driver on his way, with some of his cargo, and an escort.



I would lean toward COA 6, if the following questions could be answered.


80 miles by road in a grid down scenario could be a suicide mission, even with an escort.

Are there multiple routes from your location to the hospital?

What are the odds of making it?

Can the hospital meet the truck part of the way there to escort it?

How many people can you risk for the possible payoff?

How many vehicles and armed men do we have to draw upon?

What is our fuel state?

Do we have any aircraft or ISR assets available?

How badly do you need the contents of the truck?

Can we effectively use the contents?
