:11:00
No population. Looks good to me.
:11:02
- Weather?
- Much like a spring day in the UK.
:11:06
Are the cables above ground or buried in pipes?
:11:08
Don't know yet.
We're waiting for more intelligence.
:11:11
Will we need to use plastic explosives,
:11:13
or do we give them a tap with a hammer?
:11:15
A boy in D Squadron used to lay
fibre optics for a telecom company.
:11:18
I'll see if he knows the score.
:11:20
Once we cut the lines,
someone will renew them.
:11:23
Exactly. If you can take them out,
it will slow down the repair time.
:11:28
- Great.
- We'll be operating here,
:11:32
around 178K from the Syrian border.
:11:35
It's more than twice that far
to Saudi. We'll infill by heli.
:11:38
Our drop-off point being
around 20K south of the MSR.
:11:42
From there, move north to the MSR
:11:45
and find a hide in the area of this bend.
:11:48
Once in position, find a cable
:11:51
and place the charges on staggered
timings along a 3-4K length.
:11:57
If we get into any shit,
we call AWACS on the TACBEs.
:12:00
Get some air support
while we wait for the heli pick-up.
:12:03
If that doesn't happen, tab to Syria.
:12:08
OK.
:12:10
- What do you want TACBEs for?
- To order pizza. I need eight.
:12:13
Eight? You work in pairs, don't you?
:12:16
- OK, four.
- Four TACBEs.
:12:18
They're to call in air support, you understand?
:12:20
- Yeah.
- They're not for any other purpose.
:12:23
- Right. What's this?
- That is a shiny thing.
:12:27
- But I want one.
- You don't know what it does.
:12:31
As much link as we can carry
for the Minimis and 5.56 for the 203s.
:12:35
What's your score
with the 203 bombs and claymores?
:12:38
Are you out of your skulls?
:12:40
The Regiment hasn't been together
since World War II.
:12:43
We're not scaled up for this. We're skint.
:12:45
- Whose is all this?
- It's A and D Squadrons'.
:12:48
We're operational in three days.
:12:50
So are they. You don't even have a job, yet.
:12:52
Why bring us out if you haven't got any kit?
:12:55
Ray, find some claymores and 203 bombs,
:12:58
and take Chris with you.
