The Vanguard were all awake early, getting to work, leaving early in the morning and stealing some building supplies from German depots at 3 AM. They were building platforms on trees, using camouflage painted metal for the main living structures like huts, and also the main sections like the armoury. They built a makeshift elevator for building supplies. Y/N and Carthings were working on building the bridges for the small tree community they were using thick metal plates for the bridge panels.
"Y/N, we need that first bridge up here." Greengrass said as Y/N and Carthings lifted the bridge and carried it over to the make shift elevator before getting to work on building the next bridge.
"Oi, Basings, bring some more of those fucking plates up 'ere will ye!" Donaldson called out as Basings carried the metal plates over to the elevator and started moving them up.
Y/N and Carthings finished the flooring for next bridge before getting to work on the rope to keep it suspended.
Penningsly and Montague were setting up a mess hall spread across four trees.
Reacher and Jones were building their armoury, across three trees. They were lifting the ammo crates up into the trees with ropes, they hammered a nail into a tree and hung a clipboard on it with the camp inventory.
As Y/N and Carthings were finishing up last bridge, they got to work on helping the rest of the Regiment, with Y/N helping build the Sleeping facilities, with him having his own separate hut, while Carthings helped with the Mess hall.
2 Days Later:
The camp was built, with the regiment having tested it's ability to blend in by blindfolding Basings and Carthings and leading them a mile from camp before heading back removing the blindfolds from them, Y/N watched as they stalked through the forest and eventually found the tree camps, after walking past them three times.
"I think that's effective enough, after all, you knew you were looking for us, these sausage suckers won't know that their looking for a fucking tree house." Y/N said as Basings approached with a large bag. "Excellent, they're here, if not slightly damp, but they'll dry out. Gather around men."
The men all gathered around in formation and stood at attention.
"At ease boys. Now, thanks to our success, we have been made into a now completely official regiment, Carthings, and Jones, step forward, you have both been promoted to the rank of Captain and Corporal. Corporal Carthings, Captain Jones, congratulations boys. Greengrass, you have been promoted to sergeant thanks to your recent exploits. And finally, we now have an official beret. It is a dark grey, and bares our Regimental insignia."
"Just another piece of news, next week we'll be stealing a German boat, we will destroy the dock escape on the boat, we will cross the channel and return home, where we will be granted 6 days leave before we are dropped back into this forest to continue our campaign, we will be given more men, more supplies will be dropped. We will be refreshed and reborn. For now, it's time to earn that time off and blow some fucking planes and boats up."
The men all cheered as they took their berets, putting them on their heads before preparing to go on another night raid.
