Battalion tactical operations center table with a paper map, a laptop, a half-empty coffee cup, and a freshly printed brigade FRAGO with a corner slightly jammed and wrinkled. Readable header on the paper: “BRIGADE FRAGO 07 — SEIZE OBJ IRON NLT 1800.” A radio handset sits beside the map with a sticky note: “Companies asking: what’s the plan?”
