Marine

Read Marine Storyline:

Lance Corporal Lara Grayson, or Gray to her brothers, has been
stationed at a base camp in Jelawur, Afghanistan. She’s a dog handler, her
partner, a German Shepard named Zabba, tracks down Taliban insurgent fighters
and IEDs. They take daily patrols, and when engaged in a firefight, they’re
usually short lived. But not everyone on either side will come out alive. 

Tabatha Steel, a war reporter has been captured by the Taliban,
and when the patrol rescue her and her cameraman, tension builds. Their meeting
is a game changer in more ways than one. 

Jelawur, just outside the Green zone, is surrounded by miles of
desert, and a small population living alongside a river. Marines take the
ground inch by inch to infiltrate the defense range. At times, they can klick
out completely without being harassed, and can move about freely, resulting in
a faster process, and Taliban insurgent fighters having less time to set up
traps and ambushes. This means being engaged in firefights with only three or
four fighters at a time as opposed to a mass before their presence. 

Their mission is to ruin the enemy maneuvering from place to place
and setting up IEDs and to catch them in the act, and to establish friendships
with the locals. So far, Alpha Company have managed to stay safe, but even with
the coalition’s presence, there’s still a lot of work to do.
