The dark sky was aglow with the reflected light of dawn, about to break over the horizon, though the rolling waves of the seas around the  The multi-national formation of naval vessels formed a constellation of lights adrift in the darkness, accompanied by a cacophony of sound as men and women prepared for battle.
 
On the flight deck of one of the larger ships, the flat-topped shape of the USS Wasp, an amphibious landing ship, Ryan Kincaide verbally whipped his men and women into motion, chivvying them into the hold of a waiting MH-53 Super Stallion. The bird sat, rotors turning, among others on the deck as part of an assault force. Several hundred feet away over the water an aircraft carrier flung Super Hornets into the air.
"Look alive, ya bunch of miserable buggers!"  shouted the horse as he waved them all on, his M4 hanging by it's sling atop the mass of black gear and assault vest, turning his outline into a sci-fi soldier. "We've got a date on shore with the hostiles, and they get uppity if we don't turn up on time to kick their arses!"
He patted backs and shoved shoulders as the others ran past, counting them into the ramp and the red-lit interior of the cavernous helicopter, pausing only as the roar of launching missiles interrupted him. Fire and smoke erupted from the foredeck of a destroyer, the vertical-launch system spitting SLAM Missiles as part of the initial wave to knock out defences. The Hornets would then hit the radar-guided guns and missiles, giving the choppers a clear run to the shore.
"That's our cue!" He called out, following them into the interior before the ramp closed. Throwing himself into one of the seats, he buckled himself in  before the chopper rose skyward, pressing him into the seat. Immediately, the big helo tipped forward, gaining speed and hugging the waves as it plowed onward, escorted by supercobra gunships.
 
There was little to see, and even less to hear with the defeaning roar of rotor blades filling the cabin. The oadmaster and door gunners gave the team a thumbs up, the loadmaster pressing his hands to his head as the massive helicopter ate up the miles. holding up one hand, he indicated ten minutes. Ryan nodded and then looked around the faces of the others, indicating to give their gear a last check.
All too soon, the chopper flared, and the cabine briefly rattled to the sound of gunfire, before the minigun on the front right side of the cabine opened up with its' ripping snarl, before the ramp dropped.
"Go!" screamed Ryan, shoving and pulling them out as the door came down. "Go, go!"
 
The mission as briefed had been to move toward the HQ building identified on recon pictures; a two-level structure at the centre of the camp, with suspected underground sections. A further cave system on the eastern shore was a suspected hiding place for more of the enemies' intel and equipment, and they'd move there second, after the area had been hit by shell-fire from the naval ships.
As the group de-bussed, Ryan had his rifle to his shoulder and firing, even as the supercobras lashed the outlyign positions with gunfire and rockets, silencing a machine-gun position. Small knots of men with guns fired back at them as they moved.
"Keep moving!" he yelled. Suppressive fire and head for the HQ,!"

[Rayleonarde]

As Ray scrabbled for cover, he spotted several enemies worth note.  "Over there, by the machine gun bays.  Watch for grenades and rockets, we're exposed."  Small arms fire kept Ray suppressed, as he got behind some nearby rocks. "Grenadiers, please.  Focus on the machine gun emplacements. They're in thick. Gah!  That one was close."

[Ben]

Ben is about to load into a rib boat with his fellow berets when the platoon leader approaches him and hands him a piece of paper that has his new loading zone on it the mission briefing was with it as well, he looks at it puzzled. "What is this"
"Your now a part of SPEARHEAD" said the officer.
This surprised Ben at first but then he remembered that he had sent in an application for the new program I whisper to myself "They just accepted my application" he doesn't question it anymore he just starts sprinting to his new loading zone

When he gets there he sees one man standing next to the ramp shoving people into the helicopter shouting at them he thinks to himself 'that must be the leader of this program' I get in the mass of people loading on and I end up in the very last seat looking across at the man who was shouting at everyone trying to speed them up. The ramp closed and we ascended quickly speeding to shore, I see another motion to check our gear one last time I make sure all of my gear is on tight I pull my goggles down over my eyes and adjust them slightly, my next move is opening the breach on my M4 to make sure there are no obstructions, I yank a mag out of the pouches on my vest and pop it into the rifle, I get ready for the ramp to fall..

Then all the sudden it falls the man across from me shoves me out I run for the nearest cover suppressing the enemy so  other people in the helicopter can get out and find cover

The sound of close air support is almost deafening I jump over my cover an pull my M4 to my shoulder and shoot three rounds into an enemy's chest satisfied with a kill I slide to another piece of cover.

Haden stands checking his gear in the landing craft. He thinks to himself, "I'm gonna make ya proud ma."
He taps the magazine on his helmet, and loads it into his M16A4. The ramp drops and he sprints to cover, putting precise shots down range. His training, instincts, and adrenaline kick into gear.
"Move up, move UP!"
Haden makes a move, weaving through debris and in and out of mortar impact craters, and finally reaches the front lines.
He radios the commander, "Alpha 1-4 has made it to the trenches, requesting orders!"

[Ben]

I come on the radio "who ever is the front has three hostile riflemen moving in on his nine, can't get a clear shot" I pop my head out of cover to check for enemy resistance I see none and sprint out of my position and suddenly heavy mg fire tears apart the ground in front of me I fall backwards and stagger back into cover I come back over the radio "I'm pinned by hostile mg fire can't advance"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray comes in on the radio.  "Verdammt...Anyone give us a hand?  I'm pinned, I'm pinned! I need hel--GAH!  Ah, I'm hit, I'm hit.  Someone get over here!"  Ray slides lower on the rocks, and begins nursing a wound through the left shoulder.  Judging by the trajectory...and the fact it passed cleanly.  "Sharfschutze! Sniper! I can't see him.  Please assist!"

[NautilusWolf]

Haden turns towards Ray and sees a glint from the scope of the rifle. Against Haden's better jugement, he runs toward Ray with his M16 and M1911 drawn and shoots at the glint until reachin Ray, and dragging him to a decently sized crevice.
"Get fire on the third story of that church!" He yelled.
pulling his bandages and stitches out of his bag, he begins to tend to Ray's wounds. Haden makes conversation and has a soft Irish accent."Aw, man Ray. You gotta have 'ol DOC patch you up? I've got ya. You know, this is gonna hurt... youre lucky, whizzed on clean with no severe organ damage."
a bullet whizzes by Haden's head and he reloads the gun.
"one moment."
Haden pops up and fires three rounds, "Come on! I'll give you a good lick you f&$ks!"
Haden comes back.
"all right, so... where you from? Gotta keep calm." Haden cleans and begins stitching him up.

[Ben]

Ben sees and hears the medic yell my firs reaction it to suppress him while he ran, I then pop up every so often and fire on the snipers position I come on over the radio "who's hit!! Who's hit!!" I shout and I wait for a response. I decide to sprit back to the position I saw the medic run in I turn the corner and see a man on the ground with a large hole in his shoulder and a medic patching him up I go down next to them and speak to the medic "will he be able to fight, we need to keep pushing ,right now the enemy is advancing on our position"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray turns to the stranger, a smile creased with pain on his face.  "I'll be fine," he says through locked teeth, "I just won't be able to use the rifle much.  Too bad I didn't bring a pistol.  Names Ray, what's your's?  OH! Before I forget, welcome to SPEARHEAD."

[Ben]

"Thanks but nows not the time I believe the enemy is moving to flank our sides so our only way out will be by evac we can't move up heavy mg fire and a sniper are holding defensively, what we could do though is call on close air support from those hornets to take down the building is in rubber can attempt to run up the middle and try to take out the mg nests" I say confident in my predictions

[NautilusWolf]

Haden looks at Ben."I'll do it. If you can suppress the Mg, I have a chance to get to that church. 100 yards... I ran that easy in high school in wrestling." Haden takes off his med. bag and loads a fresh mag in his 1911.
"It's a good day to die, Irish might."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray signals Haden to get down. "Are you mad?  I was hiding behind these rocks, when the sniper hit me.  I'm sorry, but we should wait for anymore air support, before running to our dooms.  Or, at least wait until I can be useful."

[Ben]

"Understood should I call in a medevac for Ray here he seems unable to fight" I look down at ray's shoulder "it looks pretty bad" I look back to the medic waiting for a response "and if your going out there give me your tags we are letting ray here hold onto them if we don't get back" I yank my tags off and hand them to ray. "We need to act now, Ray radio in for air support to fire on the building in front of us, I'll suppress, you run for the church"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray looks down at the tags, dumbstruck. "You two are mad!  That schutze will peg both of you."  He then reaches down, grabbing an smoke grenade, and hands it to Ben. "I only have one, make it count."  He then grabs his radio, and raises medevac, while conversing with the medic on his situation.

[NautilusWolf]

"hooyah. Let's do this." He looks to Ben "we're Americans too, crazy Americans."
