I was going to post this.Edgelord wrote: But this is an offensive operation if anything. The point of the FOB is that it can be thrown up in like 15 minutes and serve as a staging point. This isn't a battlefield situation, to the knowledge of the USCM High Command this is them investigating a colony that went dark. You wouldn't dig trenches to fight pirates would you?
This is a SAR operation, we are expecting to be on the offense, we are expecting to estabilish an FOB and clear the colonies from hostiles, save the residents and waves a american flag saying "mission acomplished" while a bald eagle flies in the sky.
We aren't expecting a organized enemy going ina full teather here multiple front and combined arms and shit like that. We expect irregulars located in a urban-ish area.
PS: This was suggested once and denied by a staff member.
