The Recondo squad makes their way through the woods on an attempt to flank the enemy, They get ambushed by nearly the whole Miramar Army. Heavy fighting occurs and only the two Recondo students are left hiding among their dead teammates. They silently crawl deeper into the forest to remain unseen by the enemy. They make their way back to the “base camp” to find that they must go back and act as a diversion. The Recondo squad gets reinforcements and moves back into position. Recondo One walks through the tree line only to be shot at by hidden Miramar troops, Recondo One however only lost one soldier in the fight and made the disorganized enemy fled. Recondo One then decided that the best tactical decision seek higher ground by climbing the “South Mountain”. On the mountain the group takes a quick rest and reloads their magazines for the next fight, the group starts to move toward the preset LZ just east of their position by the dry lake bed. Using the skills they have learned in Recondo school, they silently move their way down the eastern part of the mountain, confronting only minimal contact they figure the best course of action is to link up with the rest of the allies (Mike Force and Red Star) and make a push to the LZ. The entire allied force moves into position as they drive the Miramar troops out of the area. The day was an American and a Red Star victory. The two armies worked together for the time being to fight the common enemy, but I have a feeling this isn’t over yet!
