Operation 22 – Percussive Maintenance

Even the best need a rest.

Summary

Having suffered a considerable force reduction due to mandated psych evals post hostage situation, along with the high volume of injuries sustained in the siege, the operators remaining at base ran a series of drills.

These included long-range marksmanship, honing their skills with the recently issued LPVO-equipped G28 designated marksman rifles, CQB shoot-house exercises focusing on clearing buildings in pairs, and after a simulated grenade produced a mock casualty; medics had the opportunity to practise on a multi-limb fragmentation case.

No contact reports from Haven, who are still occupying Dola, nor intelligence received from NATO’s MQ-9 Reaper operators.
