While the company prepared for action, I hurried to the combat outpost.

The first combat outpost opened up with machine-gun fire in the direction of the advancing enemy.

We pushed combat outposts forward wherever the situation permitted.

The open flanks on the north and south were secured by combat outposts from the reserve company.

The Rumanians had pushed combat outposts out in front of their new position.

This fire also protected our combat outposts on the left flank.

Where that was not done, as at the combat outposts, unwelcome surprises were experienced.

The fighting at the combat outposts was very difficult.

Their attack was a complete surprise for the combat outposts.

It was planned to build a set of combat outposts and increase coalition presence in areas until then hold by armed militants.
