Briefing: A local, limited German counterattack has retaken the village of Venraij. Normally, with the fluid situation at the front, this setback would pose little inconvenience. However, the only supply route to the 7th U.S. Infantry RCT and the 39th U.S. Infantry RCT runs thrwgh the streets of this village. These Yank formations are locked in combat with Waffen-SS units several miles east of Venraij, and any attempt to break off the action could prove disastrous. It is vital that the supply route be quickly restored. While it is unfortunate that your command must return to battle so soon after the last mission, it is imperative that the village be retaken and the German infantry and armor thrown back. Artillery of the U.S. VIIl Corps has been ordered to support your assault on Venraij. Utilize whatever methods seem suitable, but that road through the village must be available by dawn tomorrow.

The Commandos formed during the Second World War, following an order from the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in June 1940 for a force that could carry out raids against German occupied Europe. Churchill stated in a minute to General Ismay on 6 June 1940: "Enterprises must be prepared, with specially-trained troops of the hunter class, who can develop a reign of terror down these coasts, first of all on the "butcher and bolt" policy..." Commandos were all volunteers for special service and originally came from the British Army but volunteers would eventually come from all branches of the United Kingdom's armed forces and foreign volunteers from countries occupied by the Germans. These volunteers formed over 30 individual units and four assault brigades. The commandos would serve in all the theatres of war from the Arctic Circle, to Europe, the Middle East and the Pacific. Their operations ranged from small groups of men landing from the sea or by parachute to a brigade of assault troops spearheading the Allied invasions of Europe and Asia.
