2017 · Marawi, Lanao del Sur, Mindanao, Philippines (east bank of the Agus River)
Battle of Marawi
Your role: You command a battalion-sized task force (TF) of Joint Task Force (JTF) Marawi in the river-side sector on the east bank of the Agus. It is a composite of the Marine battalion landing teams and light infantry companies that fought there: three infantry companies, a mechanised company with armoured personnel carriers (APCs), an engineer company, sniper teams and a 105mm howitzer for direct fire. You must clear building by building from the east end of Mapandi Bridge, past the Grand Mosque, to the shore of Lake Lanao.
Commander's intent: The joint task force isolates the main battle area and constricts it building by building to clear out the armed group. It does so without destroying the mosques, closes the routes out across the river and the lake, and sets no deadline.
One decision from this battle · East end of Mapandi Bridge
In late May a Marine company pushed two blocks east from near this bridge and was ambushed; even after the order to withdraw it could not get out until 9 June. For more than a month since, enemy snipers have owned the east end of the bridge. The battalion has now cleared the blocks to the north-east of it. The three buildings at the bridge end are three and four storeys of concrete. The centre task group on your left is one block behind. The joint task force has ordered you to secure the east end of the bridge.
