The United States general stood in front of his troops as they lined the streets of New York. A crowd had gathered awaiting the send of off the army. While others went to pay respect for the lives lost.
All his soldiers were combat ready with their assault rifles standing at attention.
"Men. Two weeks ago, an unknown army from an unknown world attacked the United States. They made no distinctions killing anyone in their sights. Their attack ensued chaos and fear. Using barbaric methods of conquest and tactics."
"That was until they were met with the most sophisticated military on earth. Their invasion was successfully repelled in two days with maximum casualties on their side. Today, marks two weeks since the incident. And today, under the request of Washington and the oval office, we are to venture through into this unknown world to gather information and to bring justice on those who were responsible for the attack. And to make sure that they can never open another gate to the United States or any nation."
"I salute you all. And I look forward to working and fighting alongside you in the coming days. All personnel ready to their designated military units." The General poke as the soldiers all saluted before splitting and going inside the back of the APCs and IFVs parked behind.
Once the last company of soldiers had gotten inside of their vehicles, the two lead M1A3 Abrams tanks started their engines as the automatic gates opened up revealing the gate portal to the other world. Soldiers emerged from behind the walls that concealed the gate as they directed the vehicles into the gate.
The general gave a salute to the tanks as they drove through and into the gate as he walked towards his command APC at the very rear.
Through the gate it was pitch black as the vehicles turned on their headlights and IR and heat sights. After about a minute of driving, a blinding white light shone in the distance growing. Soon, the lights dimmed and the first of the Abrams tanks exited the gate as they stopped over a hill overlooking the entire valley.
"We made it." One of the tank commander said. "Wait." Another replied as he opened his hatch looking down at the valley with binoculars. "We got hostiles."
The valley lit up bright red as the enemy forces awaited. "Sir what do we do?" One of the tank commanders asked.
"Battle positions. All exiting vehicles are to form a defensive perimeter around the gate."
"First of the APCs are coming out."
"We got movement. The enemy is charging."
"All tank commanders respond." The lead tank commander spoke as each tank commander confirmed once they had clear sights of the enemy. "Give them hell." The Abrams began to shoot volleys of shells.
The fighting raged on until the sun finally began to rise. There were littered bodies everywhere as far as the US army was able to see.
"General, reports from scouts. The entire enemy force has been decimated. only a handful managed to flee." An officer said standing firm in front of the general who was sitting on his makeshift table.
"All scouts are to return. Begin construction of a permanent base on this hill. Send out four apaches for reconnaissance."
"Yes sir." The Officer said saluting before exiting the tent. "Not even 24 hours." The general said to himself. "Washington's not going to like this." "Indeed." The other General said.
