Commanding General on deck, Atten-Hut.

Major General Robert Hayowentha Pierce Senior

Take your seats as I walked on stage with K and Mrs. Ruth. We greeted BGen Johnston, Carter, Greeley, and Fox.

Before we begin the Operation Frozen Assets brief, I wish to address this issue. Captain Isaac Hamilton Bravo Company 1st Battalion 2nd Marines has volunteered to be the Officer In Charge, Chief Judge, and write the rules for an Artic Warrior Contest. Participation will be open to all units assigned to Operation Flash Freeze Company size or larger. The Canadian Rangers will be the field Judges. The initial Company contest is on 1 February, Battalion contest 2 February, and the finals 3-4 February. Ox- Roast/Whole Hog Roast cookout along with the award ceremony on 5 February. The Final would have an Engineer unit, a unit from the Reserves, a Marine Unit, a unit from the Active Army, A Unit from the USAF if they wish to participate, and an Independent/Separate Company Unit. The final day of the competition will be done on an artic assault course designed by the Canadian Rangers and built by our Engineers, with them being the first to assault the course. I encouraged all small command units to join with other small command units to form a team. All team members must have spent Ten days under this command and in our operation area or on a mission from this command.

Now Operation Frozen Assets, BGen Carter.

On arriving at the target bank at the target time the Four vehicles will park with their back against the front doors. The OIC will throw out the Two-Thousand-Five Hundred Dollars and be sure it is dispersed in a direction away from the bank, practice with fake currency will be done prior to leaving. Eight Troopers will form a corridor for the money delivery. The Federal Agent will knock on the bank door and show his badge. He will then hold the door open. The Sargent will lead the money carriers into the bank. After they all have entered the bank, the Federal Agent will secure the door. The OIC will stay outside the bank instructing all who want money to orderly line up to enter the bank when it opens. Informing all that only when a teller has an opening in front of them will he allow a person to enter. The MPs and Federal Agent will remain inside as additional security only allow people to enter the front door and leave thru a side door if available, if not the front door. If there is no crowd, the Unit can step down but remain at the Bank until a recall order from our command or the Bank closes for business for the day. Teller machines will be filled by the bank employees if they have time, it is feasible, and safe to do so. The Unit will provide security for this operation. One of the Vehicles will carry an extension ladder and will cover the currant bank sign with the vinal sign of Wappinger Nation Peoples National Bank and Trust Company FDIC insured. Lunch will be acquired from a local Restaurant by the Unit Commander or the Unit SNCO paying cash from the Second packs of loose cash, tipping well or buying food for others. Unit Commanders will rotate people as necessary to prevent wintry weather injuries. The Unit Delivery Teams presentation is complete.
