RT: Abbreviations galore

[Johan K]

Your recon LOA is PL Parrot. You will have an A-10 platoon OPCON to you 30 after LD. Be careful. You're looking at at least one platoon of well dug-in Infantry and 2 platoons of tanks with some decent ADA and Air support.

Trying to descipher the mission description in Raging Tiger. Maybe one of you military guys could let me in on what some of these abbreviations mean.

LOA is PL Parrot
*Edit: LOA = Limit of Advance. I think this means I'm allowed to deploy my scouts a bit further into enemy territory. But what does PL mean anyway?

OPCON = ?
30 after LD (Line of Departure). 30 what, minutes?

I like the new mission briefing movie. Much much easier to grasp than the old ATF text briefing. Now I just need to learn what these different nato symbols mean, so I know what kind of enemies are supposed to be where.
