As the van closed on the objective 1.4<1>1 A:=! then engaged with destructive I<~>1.4 observed the doors to the panel van were open indicating that unprivileged enemy belligerents had exited the vehicle. 1.4 identified 25m the threat maneuvering 30m from the van. engaged with acquired one van that traveled from the N FOV through Barisha, Syria with unknown occupants. The van continued S on the roadway and turned W at a T-intersection (b)(1J1.4c . At 2127Z, utilized containment fires around the van. cut the roadway with bJ(1J1.4a isolation fires approximately 15 meters in front of the van which was struck as it continued to travel W. The van stopped to the S of one roofless building and one small rectangular building <1J1 .4c. One adult male on the right side of the van moved toward the small rectangular buildling and a second toward the roofless building N of the van.

One adult male was PROB KIA approximately 10 meters to the N of the van, two PROB WIA adult males were on the ground approximately one meter to the rear of the van and a fourth adult male was on the N side of the roofless building approximately 30 meters to the N of the strike location. At 2136Z (b)(1J1.4~ re-engaged the van with Cb>c1i14a and one resumed defensive scans of the area. Figure 3.

This gives us a way to read 6 different instances of the trigger of an M230 autocannon being pulled. From this we get from 0.7 to 2s of trigger hold time. Figure 4 (Figure 1 in this report) from the CCAR was an important piece of data that was overlaid above the corresponding satellite imagery in order to closely examine the area before and after the raid. Within the marked area of the isolation fires, there are 2 dark silhouettes which can be seen South of the road, yet do not show up on the satellite images. Studying these silhouettes show that, whilst there is some resemblance to the numerous olive trees found in Barisha, there are distinct aesthetic differences. Figure 4.
