The convoy of Humvees clambered over hills in the countryside, while Mudvayne's "Determined" blared with the Marines loading their rifles before the radio crackled to life

"Gopher 1. Marines, once you are within a klick from the base, you will dismount and continue on foot. Your primary objective is the base, but if you can, take out any and all insurgents along the way. We cannot provide any air support for the moment, so you're on your own for now. Good luck, Gopher Actual out."

"You heard the man, no support. Once we enter the valley, keep your head down. I don't care if you need to put your face in the balls of whoever is sitting across from you. Once we dismount, double time it to the closest cover and wait for my orders." The Staff Sergeant told, loading his sidearm and holstering it

"We're entering the valley now." The convoy leader warned, turning the music off

"I don't like this. We can easily be picked off right now." One of the Marines mumbled before being smacked on top of the helmet by the Staff Sergeant

"Don't jinx it, dumbass!" The SSgt. told, scowling

The convoy drives off road towards cover before Gopher dismounted

"Charlie, you're with me. Alpha, Bravo, you're my strike team." The SSgt. ordered, while the convoy retreated back into the countryside, leaving the squad alone

"Alright, let's move." The group of Marines rushed hurriedly up the hill, staying as low as possible

"Team, clear the building." Norman the leader of Alpha ordered, the fire team pulling out SMGs, a pistol, and a shotgun

Craig the scout and Mark the demo entered from one side while Darrel the support gunner entered from the rear, the leader moving up the stairs and clearing the top

"Clear." Darrell reported

"Clear." Craig and Mark reported

"Sniper!" Warned Norman, the squad outside diving while Norman shot the sniper with his M1911 multiple times, before the sniper slumped onto the ground "Clear!"

"Good work, Alpha. Regroup on me." Frank, the SSgt. ordered

"Alright, fall in!" Norman ordered, reloading his sidearm and pulling his M4A1 back out while waiting for his fire team to regroup with him

"Staff Sergeant, we're pinned over here! Got an MG on the ridge but can't get a clear shot!" York, Bravo team's medic reported

"Alpha, get your ass up there and flank the bastard!" The SSgt. ordered while Charlie breached a barricaded building
