Your First Operation

What actually happens on a Friday night, from sign-up to endex, and what is expected of you.

Updated 27 July 2026

  • New members
  • Operations

Stub. Scaffolded and ready for real content — replace the outline below with how a TLB op night actually runs.

Signing up

TODO: where sign-ups are posted, how far ahead, and what happens if you sign up and then cannot make it.

Before H-hour

Orders drop 48 hours before the operation. TODO: describe the WARNO/CONOP format and what a new member should actually read versus skim.

On the night

TODO: the timeline — comms check, briefing, movement to the line of departure, actions on the objective, endex.

What is expected of you

You will be told where to stand and what to do. TODO: expand on the handful of behaviours that matter most — staying with your fireteam, using the radio sparingly, and calling contact properly.

After endex

TODO: AAR process, where screenshots and recordings go, and how attendance is credited toward the two-ops-a-month activity requirement.
