00:19.690 --> 00:22.130
operation Dust devil . After months of

00:22.130 --> 00:23.630
planning , we were ready .

00:23.630 --> 00:27.600
Our mission was to secure and

00:27.600 --> 00:29.970
hold position northwest of us where we

00:29.970 --> 00:32.026
would set up a new forward operating

00:32.026 --> 00:33.410
base call sign graves .

00:41.840 --> 00:44.007
Once we arrived , we immediately began

00:44.007 --> 00:45.729
running security alongside the

00:45.729 --> 00:47.840
perimeter . While that happened , our

00:47.840 --> 00:49.951
priority was getting our unit control

00:49.951 --> 00:52.118
center set up alongside our power grid

00:52.118 --> 00:53.340
and our water lines .

00:56.730 --> 00:59.630
Then the issue started . Am I ready

01:01.030 --> 01:04.980
walking on the same side ? Okay . We're

01:04.980 --> 01:07.147
not intersecting our fire . You're not

01:07.147 --> 01:08.313
gonna shoot me right

01:10.690 --> 01:13.900
matches possibly making some H . M . E .

01:13.900 --> 01:15.956
There's nothing that looks like it's

01:15.956 --> 01:18.011
done . I've got right thrills . I've

01:18.011 --> 01:20.067
got some , there's some stuff that's

01:20.067 --> 01:22.011
been ground down a little bit . It

01:22.011 --> 01:24.470
looks like it's all possible . Hmm .

01:24.580 --> 01:27.200
That hasn't been done yet . I can't say

01:29.040 --> 01:30.596
that things could get worse

01:35.520 --> 01:38.590
and they did . They got a lot

01:42.460 --> 01:45.170
break . My hold on

01:46.500 --> 01:48.450
A Long Red four

01:52.510 --> 01:54.180
happy one too .

02:05.720 --> 02:07.887
Someone had launched a swarm of drones

02:07.887 --> 02:09.942
against us . While no one was hurt ,

02:09.942 --> 02:12.053
the base took direct hits even though

02:12.053 --> 02:14.276
our intel suggested a possible chemical

02:14.276 --> 02:16.498
attack , none of the drones did release

02:16.498 --> 02:19.130
anything . However , our airfield

02:19.130 --> 02:21.241
suffered multiple strikes , rendering

02:21.241 --> 02:22.241
it unusable .

02:39.840 --> 02:41.951
Even one of our park planes was hit ,

02:41.951 --> 02:44.007
forcing fire to respond and stop the

02:44.007 --> 02:45.007
blaze .

03:03.560 --> 03:05.504
Later outside intel suggested that

03:05.504 --> 03:07.504
enemy activity ceased for the day ,

03:07.504 --> 03:09.560
allowing us to finish setting up the

03:09.560 --> 03:11.616
base . Our field kitchen was finally

03:11.616 --> 03:13.671
set up to allowing us to take a nice

03:13.671 --> 03:14.671
needed break

03:19.100 --> 03:21.156
while we still had work to do in the

03:21.156 --> 03:23.211
days ahead , we cap the day off with

03:23.211 --> 03:25.378
setting our flagpole up , which became

03:25.378 --> 03:27.156
a proud reminder of what we had

03:27.156 --> 03:27.370
accomplished .
