As enemies are eliminated, Price's team moves forward through the town.
Captain Price: Wildfire, this is Bravo-Six, be advised, we're passing a large church and continuing towards the main highway! Keep up the fire! Bravo-Six out!

AC-130 FCO: Crew, do not engage any vehicles traveling on the highway, those are civilians. Ground units are acquiring alternate transport at this time. Do not engage any vehicles on the highway unless cleared to do so.
AC-130 TV Operator: I bet that guy's pissed! That's a nice truck!
AC-130 FCO: Nah, hehe, he's scared shitless.
Price's team marks the vehicles with IR strobes. They drive down the highway and make their way out of the town and through the woods to the extraction point.

The AC-130 begins to fly over a curved road towards a village.
AC-130 Navigator: Heads up. Hostile forces are setting up ambush points along the curved road.
AC-130 FCO: Uh, Navigation, which one's the curved road over?
AC-130 Navigator: Fire control, do you see the water tower, over?
AC-130 FCO: TV, confirm you see the water tower.
AC-130 TV Operator: Are you talking about the uh, water tower near the intersection?
AC-130 Navigator: Roger, that's the one. And next to that water tower is a curved road, do you see that?
AC-130 FCO: Roger that.
AC-130 Navigator: Track that road into the next village. You should be able see another water tower in the village further down that road.
AC-130 FCO: Uh, we're having trouble acquiring the village. How far up the road is it?

AC-130 TV Operator: Roger that.
AC-130 Pilot: We're banking towards the village. Standby to engage ground targets.
As the AC-130 flies over the woods, enemy personnel can be seen firing RPGs.
AC-130 TV Operator: We got hostiles setting up along the curved road.
AC-130 FCO: Hostiles preparing to ambush along the curved road. They're partially concealed by the trees.
AC-130 TV Operator: Whoa, someone's just fired an RPG!
AC-130 FCO: Roger that. Crew, go ahead and take out everything in that village.
The AC-130 fires upon the village in the woods as Price and his team drive down the road.
AC-130 FCO: Armored vehicle right there! Right there, coming out of the barn.
AC-130 Pilot: Targets in the village are confirmed as hostile. Cleared to engage. Smoke 'em.
Captain Price: Wildfire, we're under attack. We could use some help here.
AC-130 FCO: Crew, track those smoke trails and take 'em out at the source. Clear a path for our guys.
AC-130 TV Operator: Personnel on the roof of that U-shaped building.
AC-130 FCO: Uh, U-shaped building?
AC-130 TV Operator: Roger, it's the one with the square structure on the roof. It's the one with a flat roof.
The AC-130 continues firing on the village. After eliminating hostiles in the village the AC-130 flies over a junkyard where the LZ is ahead. Price's team can be seen exiting the vehicles and moving towards the junkyard.

AC-130 Navigator: Enemy personnel closing in on the LZ from multiple sides. Danger close. Recommend you stick to the 25 millimeter in the vicinity of the LZ.
