Quotes from previous posts that relate to the scout group's mission.
Lt Col Alfred Nelson:
In the meanwhile, while the team is away, we will do some more hunting and scouting locally. We will also dispatch another small group to look for a laager South West of this location, so that we can start moving Westward, but in a way so as to not run into all the Pact units chancing the Kalisz survivors.
Nelson, while he was giving orders, was using his map to illustrate the general direction he will send the scouting party SW.
If the team going into Lask has not returned within 24-30 hours, we will move on to a new laager location heading SW. We will try to avoid main roads and will set the occasional blaze marker that will only be meaningful to the team (establish some common indicators that the tracker-types can watch for).
Lt Col Alfred Nelson:
Ok, I want Brown, Redgrave, and Corrigan to head southwest about half a day to scout out our next night harbour. It has to be defendable with access to fresh water. A barn, shack or other stucture for shelter would be good as long as it is unlikely to attract attention. Also, keep an eye out for game and other food sources as you go.
The rest of us will stay here and wait for the "spetznaz" team to return. While we are here I want to continue the instruction of the Poles in weapon handling as well as incorporate them into the guard roster. With only four of us remaining we'll need all the help we can get on that front.
Should have given this to you (Andy) earlier. The "Spetznaz" team are heading to Lask to gather what supplies they can scam out of the Polish cavalry unit presently located there.
