Operation Guillotine
At around 300 Zulu time a Marine assault led by Colonel Garrisons regiment began on the Phia bridge. The bridge was captured, and at 0645 hours the 1st Recon Marines (including Misfit 3-1 and Sg.Blackburn) launched a assault on a apartment complex on the other side of a canal. After charging down a hill under artillery fire and then crossing the canal while being fired at by PLR MG's from a overpass, the men of Misfit 3-1 cleared the opposite bank and the overpass. Some urban fighting occurred, but ended when Humvee's arrived. The company then rode with these until they were ambushed by PLR troops. They then cleared the ambush and reached the bank, where after a short firefight found a WMD and some information. However, the company had to withdraw because of PLR reinforcements.
