AAR 11 September 2011 The Great Escape
Thanks to a double agent in the Rebel Faction we were able to escape the Rebel POW camp. As we escaped we over came the guards at their armory to retrieve our pistols.
A Recondo Team the night before set up way points with ammo, food, water and long guns.
All the Rebels chased the 12 of us throughout the Moss Land Swamp for 4 hours. Unfortunately 3 of our team members were re-captured. As we left the area and was picked up by Black Hawks we vowed to return to rescue our guys!

AAR 12 February 2012
The day before we chased them down, we boxed them in ,we had them. Something happened at the end of the day Red Star got dug into position and we wanted nothing to do with engaging them at night in their jungle, so we set up position and waited out the darkness. Morning broke with intel that our acquisition target (the senators son) had survived the attack and red star had taken care of his wounds to keep him alive hoping to exchange him for something later. However even his own father stood up in the congressional chaimber and announced that "America doesnt negotiate with terrorists" so fom our positions surrounding Red Star we get the go order we get him by force.
As it had rained flooding much of the southeast and west of the Mossland we had the water to help us contain Redstars advance out of the area. They heard the Senator as well and were prepared for our arrival understanding his words mean our assault was coming. In the beginning of the day we split into 3 teams Sergeant Hess took 10 to the east , Day took around 12 to my count to the north and I took my Muddawgz as a party of 8 thru the muck to the south to make sure Redstar didn't escape further into the Mossland. We encountered mostly scout troops checking our resistant line to the south as we tried to provide intel to the parties of Day and Hess.
By midday not much progress had been made so a new plan was made. I took the Muddawgz out of the muck and we hit and ran drawing resistance out to the east bringing Redstar groups out to chase us while Day moved between groups to the south and on the high ground to the north and retrieved the senators son. Days group with alot of cover support from Hess's band were able to move the wounded but still alive high value package to the east and to the designated LZ to wait for extraction. We then re coordinated a defensive line and tried to hold them off as they kept advancing on our position and moments before Redstar advanced on the LZ one of the Muddawgz and One of Days men grabbed the Senators son and dissapeared deeper into the muck. There they stayed hidden mere feet from the searching Redstar party as the rest of us Tried to create a diversion elsewhere to draw them away from the LZ while our 2 comrades remained hidden deep in the muck. In the end we will need to push back from the south to create an escape route so we can find another suitable LZ and be able to finally achieve extraction. Night comes here soon so we will need to bunker ourselves in and crawl up through the muck to the position of the target so in the morning we can get on our way to the new LZ.
Morning never comes soon enough and always arrives too early. We will be ready.
