Mission
Tasking
The units first tasking is to secure the 2 pilots of PHANTOM whose plane was last seen as it crashed near OBJ: Lockhart and extracting them via helo at the FOB OBJ: Alloy. Once at this location you are tasked with supporting the small ARVN garrison in defending from any potential assault.
End-state
On mission completion, the friendly force will have safely extracted both pilots and successfully defended OBJ: Alloy. In the event that one or both pilots cannot be extracted alive their bodies are to be placed in a secure location and their positions recorded to be collected by follow on elements. If the situation in OBJ: Alloy is to deteriorate beyond the capabilities of the unit FSB Berchtesgaden will act as a fall back location.
