Operation: Spruce Knob

In order to secure a foothold in Raider territory we must take Spruce Knob, reinforce it and defend it from threats as long as we can until we remain victorious.

Objective
The objective of the Spruce Knob operation was to secure the comms relays there to buffer our own comms. The main objective however was to gain a foothold in Raider territory to properly combat them and defend Appalachia against their sort. However the operation was a major failure and some will get upset if asked about the details of the operation. Members died fighting there and intel was askew about the combat effectiveness of The Vultures.

The Firefight
After the initial fireteam was deployed to Spruce Knob, they heard over comms that a group of Vultures were coming in to interfere with operations. The New Responders had little to no time to prepare for what was to come. Punching through the mainlines was an orbital bombardment from the skies which eliminated the frontline defenses. Swarming in from different directions, the New Responders were pinned down as the Vultures tore through them like paper. This went on for hours before a collective decision was made; get out with our lives and continue to fight another day. A tactical retreat was in order and Spruce Knob fell to the Vultures that day.
