As the saying goes: If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
In every special operations operation, personal strength is one part, and equipment and armor are equally important, not to mention that the next mission is a matter of life and property.
It's not difficult to do.
Even if it is difficult, you still have to find a way to do it.
In order to make complete preparations in advance and avoid tragedy from happening, Long Zhan decided to go to the camp to walk around and find out the situation here first.
The area of the camp is not very large, only about two to three thousand square meters in total.
It only took a few minutes for Long Zhan to swing around.
I didn't get much information, but some of it was really useful.
There are barbed wire fences between each camp, so you can't visit anywhere casually. You can only look at the surrounding campsites of other troops through the barbed wire fence.
In the camp where Long Zhan is located, in addition to the Murphy team from SEAL Team 10, the commanders responsible for the operation and related logistics personnel.
There is also a quick reaction squadron composed of Marines and Green Berets.
At the same time, through conversations with QRF members, I learned the ins and outs of this hastily organized emergency operation.
The reason is that the congressional election in Afghanistan is about to be held. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the election, the United States Special Operations Command (USSO) followed the instructions of the Department of Defense and issued a series of area clearance orders.
The Marine Corps in charge of the Asadabad area made a major discovery while inspecting the area.
Ahmed Shah, the former Taliban leader, secretly developed his power by hiding in the mountains in this area and has formed a guerrilla armed force called "Mountain Tigers" with a size of more than 200 people.
In order to ensure the normal conduct of the congressional election, this Taliban force must be eliminated.
As a result, a temporary rapid reaction force formed by the Marine Corps and Rangers was quickly put in place, and an operations command center was also built here.
In order to ensure Shah's specific hiding location, he can be killed with one hit during action.
A reconnaissance team is needed to go deep behind enemy lines, find and confirm the specific location of Shah, and then track and guide the rapid response troops there in real time to carry out precise strikes against him.

The "team battle" between Marines and Rangers is okay, but small-scale operations are a bit unsatisfactory.
After all, they are not a force created for anti-terrorism special operations!
Faced with special reconnaissance missions deep behind enemy lines, both forces were unable to do so.
So they temporarily transferred people from SEAL Team 10 to form a special reconnaissance team and rushed to Afghanistan from the United States overnight.
After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Long Zhan suddenly felt confident.
This mission is led by the Special Operations Command, and it is related to the congressional election in Afghanistan. It will certainly not be stingy in the supply of materials.
By then, as long as Murphy is tougher in communicating with him, there shouldn't be much of a problem with equipment.
The equipment problem that he was worried about was finally solved. Long Zhan finally felt a little relaxed after learning that it was the result of Operation Hongli that had been tense.
It happened that it was already lunch time, and Long Zhan, who was hungry after walking around, was about to go back and ask Murphy and others to go to the restaurant for dinner.
Sudden!
"Hey, is it you? Old man." A voice suddenly shouted from behind.
This voice was very unfamiliar to Long Zhan, but at the same time he felt familiar somehow. He looked around and saw that he was the only one nearby, then turned around in confusion.
He is about 1.8 meters tall, with a strong and muscular build, and an unusually thick beard.
"Scott!"
Long Zhan recognized the man standing a few meters away on the other side of the barbed wire fence at a glance.
Even though he had a beard that looked like Zhang Fei, it covered the lower half of his face.
Being able to recognize the identity so quickly is not only the protagonist of the second season of Scott Strikes Back, Long Zhan has watched the first and second seasons of Strike Back and is deeply impressed by the protagonist.
The main reason is that he and Lon Gibran are "buddies", and the two of them served in the Marine Corps together.
Later, in order to realize their higher ideals and become members of the coveted special forces, both of them made their own choices.
The Marine Corps is an amphibious warfare force, and its chosen direction includes the two top special forces of the US military.
One is the Navy's DEVGRU, Naval Special Warfare Development Group, which is also the very famous SEAL Team 6 among the public.
One is the Army's CAG, Combat Applications Group, also known as Delta Force.
Lon Gibran dreamed of being a member of "Seal Team Six", so he chose to participate in the selection of the SEALs, while Scott preferred the Army.
Later, Gibran had an accident during training. The Gibran now is no longer the Gibran before.
This hybrid body and memory that Long Zhan took over is why when Long Zhan heard Scott's call, his voice was both strange and familiar.
"What a coincidence, man."
There is Scott in Long Zhan's memory, and Scott's free and easy character during the counterattack makes him very interested in Long Zhan.
Now that he can see himself in reality, Long Zhan is still very happy.
"It's really a coincidence. We haven't seen each other for two years and I didn't expect to meet here."
Scott looked really happy. As he spoke, he stretched his hand through the gap in the barbed wire fence and gave a thumbs up.
Long Zhan understood the meaning immediately.
Similarly, make a fist and extend your thumbs up. First, the thumbs touch each other, then the fists hit each other, then the fists become vertical palms and hit each other once, and then the hands are clasped together and shaken up and down three times.
In the end, the two jumped up at the same time and collided with each other in the air through the barbed wire fence.
This is the exclusive way of greeting between Gibran and Scott.
The "fancy handshake" derived from Sedshake (secret handshake) is very popular in American culture. Most close friends will have their own fancy handshake between two people.
The "Secret Code" docking was completed very smoothly. Scott asked curiously: "I have been here for almost two months, and I just saw you today. Did you just come here?"
"yes."
Long Zhan nodded and asked curiously: "Are you still in the Marine Corps or have you joined the Green Berets?"
