BATTLES FROM CORTINA: 3-D MOUT Battles From Cortina 3-D MOUT by MAJ Jeffrey D. Kulmayer The Atlantican Army had been defeated, but its remnants had retreated into the Cortinian town of Shughart-Gordon. The U.S. brigade charged with attacking the town decided to have one battalion attack from the northwest and seize a foothold in the first three buildings. The main effort battalion would then pass through and continue clearing the town. Their first objective beyond the foothold was the northern three buildings -- 53, 54, and 55. The battalion identified building 54, the townhouse, as the key terrain in their initial objective and assigned the seizure of that building to the lead company. The assault began at 0425 as the company passed through its sister battalion and moved along the northern side of the city toward the house just to the left of the townhouse.
