SSgt Moore brings your to your squad's area and instructs you to make a terrain model that depicts your Area of Operation, with a little of the surrounding area depicted for context.

You consult Captain Hook's order...
[ORIENTATION.
North is as depicted.
We are currently located in the abandoned warehouse at the intersection of C St & Somerset St. We are bounded by Allegheny Ave to the North, Kensington Ave to the East, Lehigh Ave to the South, and Front St to the West.
Obstacles in our AO include the tracks in between Gurney and Tusculum Streets, the electrical grid at Boudinot St and Hart Ln, and icy, narrow, potholed filled streets. The rowhomes covering whole blocks will provide cover and concealment. Observation is as far as you can see. The alley ways in between will be our avenues of approach, along with the bridges on Front St, A St, and B St. Key terrain in our AO will be the three bridges, Needle Park, and and the gulch along the tracks. The weather will below freezing, with little chance of rain or snow.]
