Operation Guardian Angel (2007) XXIV
Even after taking heavy losses in the assault on Airport Lesce, Anvil platoon is tasked to continue pushing the PLA further south to encircle the capital of Porto Ritmo. Aggression on this front is critical to keep tying down Chinese resources and manpower, leading to less resistance against the US forces currently expanding their beachheads.
Anvil 3 will be equipped with an unarmed Land Rover to carry their supplies. Additionally, they might be tasked to ferry supplies for the whole platoon.
