The chopper began its quick descent into the thick bush. Not being able touchdown, the oreder was given to fast rope down and secure the immediate area.

Captain Vaughn looked around at his Squad and relayed the information to them.

"Right, this is it. Get your shit together and get down that rope. As soon as the crew gives the thumbs up, I expect the first man to be on that rope and halfway down already. Ok, lets liven up." Vaughn Said as he cocked his weapon.

The heli, came to halt and Captain Vaughn stood ready to go. He secured his gear, to his belt kit and bergen, everything else was stashed in the pockets of his DPM's. His weapon was slung around his shoulder, safety on to avoid any ND's (Negligent Discharges) which could either injure or even drop a fellow team mate, or give away their position, or in a worse case scenario, Both. That would really put them in the shit, a dead body and a compromise, followed no doubt by a Shit storm of a contact.

The aircrew gave the thumbs up, Captain Vaughn happened to be the closest member of the squad to the rope, and so therefore he literally flew down it.
His feet touchdown on the floor of the jungle, the climate was already showing it's bad side, the air was sticky but it wasn't quite as hot as he previously guessed.
The only sound heard was from the Mozzies flying around, they obviously picked up the scent of a new hotspot Diner in town and each was eager for the first seating.

Ignoring the mozzies and the humidity, vaughn gave a quick scope around his surroundings. It was clear from what he could see, but he knew better than to rely on that, and stayed alert constantly, waiting for the others to touchdown.
The next step would be to find their position uising the GPS and then tab toward the target area and set up and OP, from there they would have a cold dinner so as not to risk compromising their position with smoke from the fires, sort out their gear and get a two man recce going on the target area.
But for now the task was getting the team down, and tabbing to an appropriate spot for an OP.
