Alpha and Papa are tasked to ASSAULT the sector targeting the key centralized areas in this sector.

Civilians are present and potentially armed so PiD before engagement is paramount, as we're not on the best terms with the civilians after multiple civilian casualties occured in the cities on the other side of the valley. News travels fast in the desert.
