Synopsis:
Easy Company is sent into the desert to relieve Baker Company in holding the line. When they arrive only Sgt. Woods from Baker is still alive. The soldiers of Easy take positions next to the dead Baker soldiers and hold off an enemy attack.

Sgt. Rock then receives orders to destroy a hidden ammo dump. Using a jeep loaded with weapons and supplies, Rock, Little Sure Shot and Jackie locate the enemy supply depot and destroy it. They have to fight their way past a tank to make it out before the explosion kills them too. With their mission completed, the three soldiers reunite with the rest of Easy.
