After being divided in three platoons, the GOAs called forward the Generals.
They all went into the conference room, only to come out again in not more than 10 minutes but it felt like an hour for the other soldiers. All Generals lined up in front of their platoons and waited for the GOAs to enter the room aswell.
Not much later General Asty stepped forward and explained the situation to his platoon.
“We have a location. The terrorists are infiltrated by one of our Arabic correspondents and he informed us about an illegal marketplace near the city of Robbah (Algeria) where the terrorists are buying explosives and guns stolen out of the Military industry a little bit more South. They are making plans for another attack, we came all the way over here to prevent that, so it’s time for us to act. Pack your bags and report at the checkup in 3 hours, we’re going to Algeria!”
After platoon 2 left the big hall, platoons 1 & 3 were told to resume training until they would get new instructions.
3 hours later the hall was filled with a combination of stressed but excited soldiers, platoon 2 was ready for their departure. When walking to their helicopter they were surrounded by platoon 1 & 3, saluting their friends and fellow soldiers. This was a normal routine, but it seemed to give the newer soldiers extra courage and strength before boarding the helicopter that would take them to the risk zone.
