The leading squad leader, a young civil engineer named Hassan, quickly stepped forward and shouted in Arabic at the group of "uninvited guests" busy deploying:
"This is the 'Liberation Forces' controlled area! Who are you? You cannot land and deploy military forces here without permission! Identify yourselves and your intentions immediately!"
However, Sanders seemed to not hear the warning at all, or perhaps he heard it but completely dismissed it.
He didn't even look directly at Hassan, but just took off his sunglasses and, with his hawk-like sharp and arrogant eyes, swept over his subordinates spreading out, then loudly ordered in English loud enough for everyone to hear:
"Group A, keep your eyes open! Establish a solid circular perimeter; I don't want anyone who shouldn't be here to get within a hundred meters!"
"Group B, speed it up! Get those precious pieces of equipment unloaded, prioritize setting up communications and detection gear!"
