Annex A to Appendix A: Extract of JFLCC Warning Order
1. Intelligence Update. Paramilitary forces of the TPLF have crossed the Ethiopian border and have invaded Djibouti. One enemy battalion is located 20 kilometers northwest of the Yoboki, and 35 to40 kilometers from the Ethiopian border. The enemy's most probable course of action is to remain in the mountainous region and continue to ambush units along the MSRs and continue terrorist attacks upon key facilities. Paramilitary forces have attacked IBCT convoys as they returned to camp Djibouti at the IBCT HQ. Terrorist attacks have increased at the port. Today, a UAV was shot down in the vicinity of Yoboki by either a hand-held rocket or a small arms fire.
2. Friendly Forces. Joint Task Force Tadourja will provide four CH-46 Sea-stallions, 10 Blackhawks, and four AH-64s to support the IBCT's movements and provide logistical support from the port facility of Djibouti. The Naval Task Force will provide Naval Gunfire, and Harrier, and F15 support per the Air Tactical Operation cycle.
3. Mission: On order, 1st Battalion IBCT conducts a movement to contact to secure Objective Yoboki and block TPLF infiltration routes from the north. Enroute, locate and destroy TPLF forces in the sector. On order, reinforce CENTCOM peace enforcement units in the AOR and support Djibouti civil authorities in restoring order and humanitarian support activities.
