"Stars Earn Stripes" 8/27

Rapid Detonation: Beginning by dropping from a helicopter's fast rope to the bed of a Ford Super Duty F-250 FX4 4WD SuperCab, the squads have to secure a helicopter landing zone by neutralizing eight land mines (five for each star) & a transformer. After retrieving a slant-back Humvee & a desert patrol vehicle, a fuel dump has to be destroyed from the Humvee's gunner position & an ammo bunker must be penetrated & destroyed w/ a hand grenade. The clock stops when everyone's back in a helicopter.
Weapons: FNS 9MM pistol, FN Scar 16S assault rifle & FN M2HB 50 Cal machine gun
