Overview
Bravo and Delta prepare to face off for the upcoming Team Championship. Bravo and Delta face off in the Helocasting Training Exercise for the second time. Bravo is first team to finish the exercise and wins 50 extra points. Bravo and Delta are assigned to take on the Fuel Dump Demolition mission. Shadow Squad has established a fuel dump in the desert, and three aircraft have already been lost trying to take it out. The team's mission is to blow it up. Delta takes on the mission first. The team begins to move towards the Fuel Dump. Baz radios HQ and reports the presence of the fuel dump, one vehicle, and at least six enemy soldiers, and also confirms the presence of POWs in the camp. Headquarters then changes Delta's primary objective: to recover the POWs. The demolition of the fuel dump becomes their secondary objective. Delta assumes sniper positions, tosses a smoke can, and opens fire on the camp. An enemy tank approaches, and Helvenston takes aim and fires, destroying the tank. Nutt
