Fallujah, Iraq
In March 2004, enraged Iraqis killed four American military contractors, burned their bodies, and hung them from a bridge outside the city of Fallujah. The U.S. called in the Marines, who assaulted the city. The fight was quickly called off after photos of maimed and dead civilians began flooding the media. Soon afterward Fallujah became a magnet for foreign fighters who rallied under the banner of Al Qaeda in Iraq
In November the Marines were to attack the city again. According to the attack plan, three battalions would drive into the city from the north, squeezing insurgents southward as they advanced. Lt. Elliot Ackerman would be smack in the middle of the assault.
In just a few hours, 46 men would be counting on him to make the right decisions to keep them alive. He ran through their names—Banotai, Menard, Latva, Castelli—and privately wondered how many of them would make it through the battle.
At precisely 4 a.m., a voice crackled over the radio with orders for his platoon, cutting his thoughts short for the next five days: “All Avenger stations, this is Avenger 6. We are Oscar Mike”.
Clues:
From the bench referenced in the Phantom Fury clues continue to the next intersection. Head west at the intersection. Continue west through the next two intersections. Look for a bird house just before the trail takes a hard right turn to the north. From the bird house head on a bearing of 280° to a five trunked tree at the tree line. Continuing on the trail will return you to the sledding hill parking lot.
