"airbourne"..... air..... bourne.....

For the squad-level objectives, will there be designated infil/exfil points marked out prior to the beginning of each exercise? Will something like this be replicated during the campaign?

At what point will we know that we've effectively "broken contact" without killing off our pursuers? 

Glad to have you with us Zach. Make yourself at home. 

Congrats on building your first PC and getting into Arma. It's a wild ride and we're glad to have you along for it.
