Ater the base was ready, the Wolverines were reinforced and sent southeast. They waded trough light Nod opposition, destroying 2 SAM sites, before reaching the civilian village. From there they moved north. The last SAM sites were located northwest at the cliffs. When the patrol took them out, a transport finally arrived to evacuate the civilians. unfortunately, this alerted the Nod base and soon their troops started to pour out.
