Tank in the Bog (A)
內容大綱
On November 16, 1996, Doug Crandall, second lieutenant and platoon leader of the Army's 1st Platoon, Delta Company, consisting of four tanks and 16 men, was tasked with establishing a mobile defense. Their mission was to block enemy scout vehicles' northward movement along the extensive trail networks of the Fort Polk woods in Louisiana. Upon receiving orders, the platoon had 18 hours to prepare their positions. Unfortunately, 30 minutes into the mission, the track on the crew's tank dislodged from the sprocket, requiring the crew to radio for maintenance. Sixteen hours later, the tank was repaired, but 100 meters into the woods, it sank into a bog. It was just past midnight. The temperature had dropped to 45 degrees. Amidst heated radio exchanges from his commander and angry interactions with the lead mechanic who had just spent 10 hours on replacing the tank's track, Crandall knew that the soldiers and the situation were his responsibility. He had to keep the people safe, maintain control, and figure out a way to get the platoon out of the bog and get into a defensive position in less than an hour.
