OOC: Blegh I forgot about this. Sorry.

IC: The MRP elite forces are able to hold their ground against the tunneler swarms, but only barely. Casualty rates in engagements are high, and it is difficult to make progress against the sheer numbers of the creatures. The sonar-equipped HMMWVs provide at least some relief against the surprise attacks, but they prove highly dangerous even without the advantage of surprise. The elite squads are able to slowly gain ground, but have difficulty keeping it. It becomes clear that large amounts of continuous reinforcements will be constantly needed in order to have any hope of holding enough territory to set up a base in this location.
