Operation 15 - Final Fuel

Another delivery and QRF to Maku

Summary

We delivered fuel to Tebbi and Naw in convoy with our new (and rather fuel hungry) Humvees. We had to buy some additional fuel from Ali to refuel our vehicles, as we didn’t return to base to refuel inbetween deliveries.

During one leg of our deliveries, we were buzzed by an MH-6M being crewed by a competing PMC, and saw them again leaving Naw as we entered.

More than ever, it’s imperative we keep on good terms with the locals.

We were on our way West to investigate the areas around their supposed FOB, when Lancer radioed that they needed a QRF. We arrived in good time and took minimal casualties.
