Ants Exit Nest

The men deploy as they exit the trucks.

 A long row of new trucks.

Ants in the distance.

More trucks are coming!

Still time to deploy before they get close enough to attack.

More trucks stop and unload.

Men are taking up positions to make a third side of the box.

Close combat going on at one end.

Most troops not in combat yet.

Line of ants spread out.

Seemingly unending masses of ants.
 

More Trucks Arrive

Troops re-enforce the firing line. 

More trucks arrive.

One battery is set up to fire.

More ants pour out of their nest.

Trucks park and troops debuss.

Overhead view a even more trucks show up.

 The ants are moving forward.

Set Up Artillery

Medical personnel grab weapons to defend themselves.  Geneva conventions and other laws permit medical personnel to defend themselves and their patients from attackers.

Wounded are transferred from the stuck truck.

Still it's hard to move in the snow.

More help arrives and set up the artillery.

Crews man the guns.

Grenades are ready if they get too close.

 The ants swarm out of their nest.

Tim Mee and BMC in the Snow

They sent the medical unit ahead to get back to base first.

Sadly, the poor road conditions caused the first truck transporting causalities got stuck in the snow.

The medical staff quickly started moving the wounded out of the first truck and into the second.

Others grabbed weapons and got ready to repel the enemy.

Rifles, grenades, anything they could find.

The old charge nurse just grabbed her lantern and watched it all, she had seen it before, many times.  Not her first campaign.

Nor was it the first war for the enemy.
