Once the main special forces elements have secured these key infrasatructure, the 2nd Expeditionary Brigade of the 2nd Marine Division launched an attack along the southern coast of the city, right over the industrial sector. The marines were to clear the initial landing site in order to spearhead the advance over the key industrial sector of the city. Advancing north and following the river on both the west and east bank, their objective was to clear the industrial sector of any enemy presence and secure three bridges for later demolition. The destruction of the bridges would pocket any Akanatoan forces east of the river. | Once the main special forces elements have secured these key infrasatructure, the 2nd Expeditionary Brigade of the 2nd Marine Division launched an attack along the southern coast of the city, right over the industrial sector.
