1 Mile Away from Annatown Airport, 0700 Hours
Private Conner sat in the gunner spot in the IFV, firing at anything that moved in front of him. They had swept from the south and crashed into the Coalition line, forcing their right flank to retreat while the front line was engaged with the 7th Infantry. Now, a combination of IFVs, light tanks, and a battalion of infantry drove through the park, their only orders being to engage and find any weak spots in the Coalition positions.
"Enemies spotted, 11 o'clock!" Someone in the vehicle shouted.
Conner swiveled the gun, hearing some rifles being fired off and a tank exploding to his left. Trying to see through the underbrush, he could make out some figures, and began firing rapidly. Some of the figures slumped over while others fled.

Annatown Airport Runway, 0705 Hours
General Herman stood over a map of Annatown and the surrounding area, the chatter of radioes echoing sparound him. Herman had decided to move his Command Room, the "Bug"to the airport, where he would be closer to the battle. He began to speak to the group of commanders and his communication director, John Kelly, surrounding him.
"Now that we have engaged the Coalition, we must encircle them. In order to encircle the Coalition we must combat their defensive positions with a three-pronged attack. The 2nd Battalion of the 73rd will lead the left prong, and will head around the national park and circle around to here, while the 4th will engage through the center prong to distract the Coalition and inflict casualties. The 3rd Battalion of the 7th will head directly northeast to here as well. 2nd and 3rd should try to mostly avoid firefights, however if there is someone in your way, shoot them. Rules of engagement: anything that moves that isn't us is declared hostile," Turning towards Kelly, he finished, "Get that to the front line."

1/8 of a mile from Annatown Airport
Soon Conner's IFV broke through the trees and reached a railroad track, and could see the airport east southeast of them. They could still hear much gunfire among the tress as they headed tothe airport. They had encircled the Coalition.
The Bug, 0830 Hours
"General, we have the Coalition completely surrounded. We lost around 26 vehicles- IFVs and light tanks."
General Herman nodded in approval. "Good. The circle shall close at 0900 hours. Let's remind them of Summersea."
