## After Action Report (AAR)
The ComGuard and Ghosts secured flanks while the main GSF thrust pushed on the bandit force. Units that landed at the LZ pursued the bandits; they damaged several enemy 'Mechs and destroyed an enemy battle armor platoon in the woods.
Due to a navigation error, Road's Warriors and Dragon's Clutch were dropped behind the main force. Eagle's Tears and Loyalty Forsaken were held at base for security.
GSF command ordered continued pursuit of the enemy units.
