He pointed at the last two team members. "Falcon and Merlin are responsible for rear security and the exfil route. Once we've got the package, we split into two prepped civilian vehicles and pull out, heading to the designated helicopter pickup point."
"Time window?" Mountain Eagle asked.
"The target is expected to pass through the area at 1400. We need to be at the ambush site before 1000 and complete all deployments. By 1200 everyone must be in concealed positions." Scarface checked his watch. "It's 0630 now. We move in one hour."
"Weather forecast says we may get a sandstorm around noon." Crow pulled up the meteorological data. "Visibility could drop below 100 meters."
"That works in our favor." Falcon Eagle said. "The dust will mask muzzle flash and sound, and it'll interfere with their drone reconnaissance."
Scarface nodded. "But it'll hit our sight picture too. Vulture, the IED has to use a dual-trigger setup—pressure switch plus remote, double fail-safe."
