#2 My orders came through. We will be mustering in Gao and marching upland towards Tessalit with 3,300 troops with a service time maximum of one year. We have petitioned for and been promised French and US air support and logistics. Our operation begins in February, after the checks clear and the trucks roll.

When will you have lunch?

I can't tell you that. It's classified.
