   ++MISSION BRIEFING++
      “The August battles have done it and the enemy in the west has had it. . . . Two and a half
   months of bitter fighting have brought the end of the war in Europe in sight, almost
   within reach . . . ”
    ―General Dwight D. Eisenhower
    
   Mission Summary:
   After months of preparation, the joint British-American Operation Market Garden is ready to commence. Extensive fighting across Europe has significantly weakened the German war machine, and this operation's impact will bring the Allied forces closer to the heartland of Germany. Your platoon has been assigned the crucial task of securing the bridges in this region of Holland and fending off German counterattacks until XXX Corps can reach your positions. Local units of the French and Dutch resistance have been mobilized to secure your Landing Zones and will provide ongoing support throughout the operation. Additionally, Allied air support will be available on call for the duration of the mission.
   Objectives:
   
   1. Secure a landing Zone and deploy paratroops.
   (Free French && Dutch Forces) Secure Le Champ De Trou and mark the LZ for incoming Allied Paradrops. Hold the Landing Zone against Axix counter attacks.  
   
   2. Secure the town and the Bridge crossings.
   Push Axis forces out of the nearby town and secure the bridges leading to the north. Eliminate AA sites as encountered to assist in RRR delivery and RPTR Airstrikes.  
   
    
   3. Secure the town and the bridge, and hold until relieved.
   Advance through Axis defenses to secure the town and both bridge entrances. Secure local command posts to delay or prevent a German counterattack aimed at retaking the bridge. Each captured command post will be rewarded with additional defensive equipment upon taking the town and bridge. Eliminate AA sites encountered to support RRR delivery and facilitate RPTR airstrikes. Mission Notes:
   CIVILIANS: Civilians will not be present withing the Area of Operations.
   RRR: Delivered with each reinforcement wave.
   ASSET RRR: Withdraw from front line and ping Zeus.
