Taliban leaders recently announced that they have taken leadership of Candaldari, and with that overnight forces from surrounding areas have swarmed the city. Embassy forces pulled back to the airfield to secure their VIPs with our greater numbers. Armored vehicles have come into the region through middle eastern militias sponsored by neighboring countries meaning Soviet era armour has arrived on the scene. A overzealous 2nd Lieutenant oversaw the extract from the Embassy leaving some assets and secure data we will need to burn. Bring incendiaries.

The idea is to get as far mounted as possible but once route is blocked or we are slowed down ROMEO 1 and ROMEO 2 Will dismount and flank the route so we can push forward towards the Embassy ROMEO 3 Wil provide convoy protection and BOF for the squads. Other elements when not tasked specifically should protect the convoy. PHASE 2 Once convoy reaches embassy ROMEO 1 and ROMEO 2 will clear the embassy and then provide security For data destroy task done by Tango 4-2 ROMEO 8 Will be responsible for the destroy data task and Embassy clearing ROMEO 3 While protecting the convoy will organize that all vehicles are ready to move back either via Route Alpha or Route Bravo ROMEO 7 will organize rearm/ repair in the field during this time.

Casualties in QUEBEC 4-3 When able. - Rearguard needs to watch both the speed at the front and keep up but also delay the enemy so we can not get enveloped - Repair should be priority to keep going. - We only have each other. protect your battle buddys
