User blog:Bzero/Duke - AAR: Sierra Gordo

To: Hawk CC: Flint From: Duke The mission to Sierra Gordo was a qualified success. We succeeded in our goal: the release of Sofia Velez, President of Sierra Gordo; Huntley Pierce-Bryson, US Ambassador; Corporal Cooper, USMC; and of course Robert “Grunt” Graves. During the rescue attempt, Alpha Team was captured and required the assistance of Bravo Team to escape. Cobra took advantage of Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie teams out of country to launch a full-out assault on the Pit. Forces led by CPT Falcon and GySgt Slaughter were able to beat back the attack, with heavy losses to equipment and personnel. We need to decide what to do about the fact that Cobra obviously now knows we are operating out of the Offutt Air Force Base. The civilian population adjacent to the base in considerable danger. I suggest a move back to Utah. The remoteness of the base minimizes possible collateral damage from a terrorist attack on our base. It seems impossible to keep our base of operations secret forever. I suggest digging in and simply fortifying against attack, rather than rely on hiding our presence from the enemy. CSM Conrad “Duke” Hauser US Army
