EXT. FIREBASE RITA — MECHANIZED INFANTRY — DAY

Twenty armored personnel carriers (APCs) rev engines, lead assault troops out of the perimeter.

The APCs send up clouds of red clay dirt.

Dust and emission trail along behind the APCs.

SGT. (Preacher Man) LEAPHART, 29, black, stubby beard, rides atop an APC with Butterfly Weed, Nas and Li’l Bro, the weird-ass brother from Chi-town, Chicago.

Preacher man’s Charlie Co. rumbles over a bridge behind Alpha and Bravo companies.
