Phase II (Decisive Operations): Begins with the commencement of offensive operations to defeat Arianan forces and to restore the international border. Phase ends with Arianan forces neutralized and international border restored. The logistics focus is supporting offensive operations. 501st operations cover ISB Lion, ISB Giant, LSA Wabash, and TAA Meade. Phase III (Stability Operations): Begins with Arianan forces neutralized, international border, and conducting stability operations with a logistics focus on reconstitution and restoration.
