Chase scrambled to his feet as ground commands began echoing in his ears from the helmet radio. All three platoons were down, with only a few minor injuries. The four men who'd been injured were being redeployed to secure the landing zones for their pickup. The rest of the platoons were being quickly restructured to make up for their absence. Chase was amazed at this display of high-level training that permitted the troops to adapt so quickly. His own former platoon members, good as they'd been, would never have been able to handle a rotation of members in the field.
