8. EXERCISE INBRIEF FORM Date Exercise Name 8. SHOE ISLAND (Part 1) Brief Instructor Note 1: Exercise map contained in Leadership Trg Day PowerPoint presentation. Instructor Note 2: Choose a leader and nominated 2IC Situation:  You are the leader of a small special forces unit aboard HMS Invincible. Having completed your previous missions you are on your way home when the ship’s Captain comes in with the following message: "I have just received a FLASH message. Yesterday, a new, unmanned experimental aircraft, called the XL-5 crash-landed on a small, uninhabited island off the African Coast. The aircraft was carrying a sensitive new avionics suite, which must not be allowed to fall into enemy hands.” “Our experts have pin-pointed the crash location with some accuracy; they also predict that the aircraft is mostly intact. The small uninhabited island is less than 70 miles from our present position. (See Map) My charts show that the island is quite small and shaped like a shoe with its toe pointing westwards. It has a rocky coastline, with sandbanks and reefs running out in some places as much as 7 miles off‑shore, except on the north east coast which has steep cliffs and high ground up to 1500 ft." "You have been ordered to find the crashed aircraft and to ensure the safety of the avionics suite at all costs until 0900hrs tomorrow when MOD officials will arrive to take over command responsibility. I can give you 2 small boats, without engines, each with ample room for 4 soldiers with personal kit (not including weapons) and 100kgs of equipment/provisions. We have sufficient oars but with the present sea state no small boat will make more than 2 mph. I will provide you with a list of available equipment from which you must choose what you think you need to complete the mission. The packages of equipment are in water-tight containers and cannot be divided” "As you can see from the maps, the island consists of thick jungle which is likely to be hard going: you will probably only make 3 mph on foot. However, along the beach is more even ground where you could make 4 mph. There are only 3 known areas along the coast where a small boat could land, I have called these: HEEL, TOE and ARCH. Due to the sandbanks and reefs I can drop you 2 miles off TOE, half mile off HEEL or 7 miles off ARCH. The crash site is in the south east area of the island, some 300‑400 ft above sea‑level and about one mile inland. The authorities fear that you will not be alone in your search and that you may have a fight on your hands. The only way inland from HEEL is by scaling the cliffs which are 500 ft high. It is risky but can be done: I have some climbing gear aboard but I estimate it would take about an hour to climb 300 ft." “Providing you can let me know in the next 15mins I can get you to any of the 3 positions off the landing areas within 3 hours. The time now is XXXXX Local. Any questions? I need you to brief me on your plan and your equipment requirements in 15mins time. Good luck!” Real World Safety: There are no safety concerns associated with this exercise Start clock: Your time starts now… Calculations: D D S = ---- T D = S x T = ---- T S Speed - S Distance - D Time - T
