Location:5 km West of Base Camp
Time: 0440 20 July 2000
<About 5 klicks from base camp, CPT Wolfe yells "TARGET!!! Range 100 meters to our rear, north side of
road! Looks like a duece.">
SGM Martinez quickly relays the message over the radio.
SGM Brantley (Viper 1) calls back "We obviously want to salvage the vehicle. If I dismount and get close enough,
I can take out the crew, and then we have ourselves a new duece...no holes in it hopefully. I just need someone
to watch my back."
SGM Martinez pulls the humvee to the side of the road (into a concealed spot). CPT Wolfe (Cobra 1) gets on the
radio and calls back "Good idea, all we need is to get the duece and your humvee hidden then get someone to
cover your back, like Rattler 2 (SSG Martinez). Rattler 1 (CPT Cappanetti), it's your call."
