Target Analysis: Training 1.1
Trainer: Senior Sergeant Virius
This training can prep up some of my knowledge back at the Trooper Specialty Academy. I can sharpen up my skills, so I can undertake advanced courses in my path to being a Slicer.
Tech though to himself while riding his 74-Z speeder bike down the road, far north from his current location. As the Sergeant and Trainee drove away to their respective standby location, Tech slowed down the roaring speeder exciding 130 kmh, and stooped at a good distance from Virius's standpoint down south of his location. Tech removed his right foot from the speeder's pedal, and limped until both of his legs where steady on the ground. Taking his assigned equipment, Tech took the initiative of setting up his communication unit that will act as his technical camp for the remaining of the training. After selecting the proper communication arrays and establishing communication with three different communication terminals, or towers surrounding the training area, Tech managed to get 50 kilometers area coverage, which covered most of the facility, leaving the northwest without network coverage. Tech opened his wide military datapad and swiftly spotted for enemy targets on the broad 80-kilometer training ground. As he glared to see northeast of the map showed on the datapad, Tech found two different enemy units that where characterized by there threat level show at the left-hand side of the datapad. It seemed that one of the Headquarters installments located exactly 23 kilometers north of the heavy weaponry friendly HQ base. Tech soon called the sergeant for direct fire to the location.
"I have found enemy HQ located 23 kilometers from our base current location. From the looks of it, it is a pretty big installment; Threat level is an issue, ranging at mid-high on the radar array. I suggest we go for orbital strikes arranged to the coordinates given. "
"Arranging orbital strike at designated coordinates" The Sergeant replied.
Tech looked at the enemy base from far range using his 1020/A Field Macrobinolulars. The explosion was heard and seen clearly.
That's awesome, and to think I ordered those fireworks.... Tech grew with excitement to his thoughts and stared at the target for a few seconds and kept moving on with the training. Tech took a glimpse at target number two; this target had nearing thirty rebellion personnel, and three moving vehicles, circling the area. It was ten miles northeast from the friendly HQ's heavy weaponry installment. Tech as usual contacted Sergeant Virius on frequency 35500.
"Sergeant, I have spotted a target at low threat level. The target is mainly composed of thirty rebel personnel, and three vehicles around the area. Mortars might do quite devastating damage, but there is a slight possibility the personnel driving their transports might survive due to their mobility. That is not acceptable, we must wipe them out in one blow, if one single person survives, then they most probably advice the others, and we might be in for some trouble. So I say go for heavy artillery ten miles northeast."
"Well if your's sure, the mortars do cause damage you know.. Well it's your training, let's see if you can wipe them all out. I'll be watching for any survivors." The Sergeant recalled, as he ordered heavy artillery onto the coordinates.
With sweat, dripping from his forehead inside the trooper armor, Tech watched fireworks being simultaimously fired. Although he could not see the actual details of the explosion, he could tell there was damage done by the corpses flying off into mid air. Seconds later prior to the event, Sergeant contacted the trainee for details.
"Well you have done it again rookie, 0% percent enemy readings around the area. The Artillery was a success. Very good trooper. Carry on..." Virius said with a cheering emotional tone to his words.
Tech could not be more proud of himself, as he neared completion of his training. He quickly spotted two other targets along the southwest. It was dangerously close to draw artillery, since the friendly units where close around the perimeter. Nevertheless, he was not about to give up on that. He located one of the main targets closets to friendly's HQ and delivered the information to Virius for deployment on small artillery.
"I got some information, enemy readings of an enemy platoon traveling on a heavy transport towards the south. It's headed at a slow phase, but the distance ain't that far either. I have made a tough decision, but I think it's the best for this kind of situation. Deliver multiple mortar attacks slightly behind a mile northwest. I hope none of out troops get hit by one of these, it can be devastating to my career."
"Deployment ready, we'll see what happens Tech, good luck on the call" The Sergeant replied with insecurity.
Tech's heart rushed with adrenaline flowing through his veins, as he choked slightly, looking ahead with his Macrobinolulars, and waiting for a sudden impact to burst from the terrain. A sudden blast occurred seconds after Tech's call, multiple mini explosions landed around the perimeter. Tech noticed the transport being hit several times, but the enemy soldiers managed to survive. Quickly without hesitating, Tech contacted his trainer.
"Sergeant, the hit wasn't powerful enough; we need several mortars launched in the same direction. After those have been deployed, we need direct-fire to any survivors.
"That's a good call Tech, I shall deploy several mortars up that location, the artillery plus direct fire can work as a charm. In my years of experience, that has been a nice combination of tactics: Artillery to wipe out resistance on the front line, and direct fire to deliver the final blow without wasting artillery shots."
Tech saw the decrease of the enemy platoon seconds after his call. With certainty that none survived according to his datapad, did Tech begin to breathe properly and take off his stormtrooper helmet, to wipe out the pouring sweat of his forehead. It was a big accomplishment for the Lance Corporal, but there were still other targets needed to be reported. Tech once again headed toward his datapad, but this time the targets disappeared into the non-coverage zone out in the Northwest of the training facility. Tech knew he had to establish communication with another Terminal on the west side. He did not know why he failed to the first time, but there was no time for that. Tech must undergo a solo mission onto the Terminal to reconfigure the communication settings. It was a technical problem that he encountered, rarely happens but it needed to be fixed. Tech gripped his ahnds around the 74-Z speeder bike;s handle and rode at 180 kmh toward the northwest of his location. A few minutes passed and his communication to his training Sergeant and from his datapad to his HQ was lost. Surrounding the perimeter on his speeder, Tech found the tall Terminal Tower. He neared the control center and used his Transcriber Array to fix the communication components of the Terminal. After struggling minutes, Tech was able to get the whole training area coverage he needed to spot his last target. He sat down on a large flat rock, positioned his laptop over his knees and began finding the last target. To his view, the projection of his datapad showed a huge enemy HQ that covered 3 by 6 kilomoters of area.
Heck..This place may need all the artillery we can deliver, it's huge, I wonder how many enemy personnel they got lurking around in there...Tech said with an overwhelming surprise. He contacted his trainer for the last time, this time with a delighted tone to his words.
"Well, we got a massive Headquarter facility that has an area of 18 Kilometers and is located 23 kilometers northwest. It looks like the threat level is to its maximum; this place may need two heavy artillery attacks, few orbital strikes, and mortars followed by direct fire from our troops located south from them. Let's make it happen, shall we?"
"I gotta hand it to you; you have done a fantastic job on spotting targets, you have experience on this now. But just for the heck of it, I'm going to show you fireworks you'll never forget" Virius replied, laughing heavily to his statement.
As Virius unleashed the devasting attack to the enemy's HQ, Tech watched the never-ending fireworks while jumping around with exciment to Virius's words.
Thank palpaltine the training was all over, at least for now; Tech though to himself while cruising to Virius's standby spot. After a few minutes the two trooper got together and saluted one another for a job well done, but it was back to reality when the two headed for a de-briefing inside the facility lounge about the training mission.
