Report text
(S//REL GCTF) EARLY TODAY AN IED BLEW UP A JINGA TRUCK IVO KARNUM ON THE EXACT ROUTE THAT A PRT VEHICLE TOOK EARLIER IN THE DAY. THE EXPLOSION HAPPENED DURING THE SAME TIME THE PRT VEHICLE WAS HEADING BACK TO CHAPMAN. IF THE VEHICLE HAD TAKEN THE SAME ROUTE THAT THEY HAD EARLIER IN THE DAY, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE EXPLOSION. INTELLIGENCE REPORT STIPULATES THAT THE TARGET HAD AN EXACT DESCRIPTION OF THE PRT VEHICLES IN THE CONVOY. NEED TO EMPHASIZE TO NOT ESTABLISH A PATTERN OF TRAVEL AND BE COGNOSCENTE OF ACTIONS EVEN WHEN TRAVELING ON REGULAR ROUTES BETWEEN DESTINATIONS. KEY TO THIS, IS TO DRIVE DETERRENCE AT BCPS WHERE WE CHOSE THE BATTLE SPACE, NOT IN THE INTERIOR OF THE KHWOST BOWL AND WE BECOME CASUALTIES AS A RESULT OF IEDS.
