Objective 1: Destroy the enemy mortar[]
You and your team, callsign Pariah, will start out from Point Borah, northwest of the town of Sainte Marie. Your first objective will be to find and eliminate an enemy mortar in the AO that, as Guardian states, seems to be changing positions all the time. Move quickly through the area, keeping an eye out for patrols and staying clear of the garrison located at Point Sanford. Try not to get locked into a firefight before completing the first objective; make liberal use of the cover of darkness to avoid CSAT patrols in the area. Get up to a good point to get a good outlook of the area to your northeast, and start searching for the mortar. You will eventually find the mortar being creatively toted around the AO on the back of a truck. Once you've identified the truck, quickly move down the hill towards it. Shoot the truck's driver to send the truck out of control for a moment, and shoot the mortar's gunner to stop further rounds from being shot. After ensuring that the coast is clear, plant a charge at the base of the truck and move back before touching it off. Both it and the mortar turret will be immediately eliminated.
Objective 2: Assess the possible armor threat[]
Once the mortar is dealt with, quickly move east to escape CSAT's patrols. Guardian will radio you soon after the mortar is destroyed, informing you of a possible CSAT armor threat in the area. Move to the marked waypoint to assess the intel. Upon reaching the waypoint, your group finds out that the "armor threat" in the area is nothing more than a bunch of rusted hulks from old Soviet T-72 tanks leftover from the cold war. Sturrock will inform Guardian and joke about the situation before being ordered to return to Point Borah.
Objective 3: Destroy the second mortar[]
Soon after completing the second objective, infantry forces to the south will report that they are taking mortar fire from an unknown location. After consulting with one of the locals, they confirm the mortar to be located near Sainte Marie itself, specifically at grid 051-042. Pariah will be ordered to move to that grid and eliminate the mortar there before it can decimate the infantry advance. Divert to the new marked waypoint, avoiding hostile patrols if possible. The area around the second mortar turret will be guarded by an infantry team patrolling around the area. Assign each of your squadmates to target one enemy and order them to fire and engage if necessary. Once the enemy patrol is out of the way, move to the house just ahead and toss an RGO grenade over it to deal with any infantrymen present near the mortar turret itself. Once the grenade detonates, move in and clear out any stragglers quickly before dealing with the mortar. To neutralise the turret, simply shoot it ~6 times with your rifle. Once the turret is out of commission, the objective will be completed.
Objective 4: Exfil[]
With the second mortar out of the way, Pariah's work will be completed and they will finally be ordered to return to Point Borah and exfil. Move to Point Borah, avoiding hostile patrols. Once the player gets close enough to the waypoint, the mission will be completed.
