Days Later, Matthew's Knight Company returned to Fort Benning for their Renewed Training as part of their Preparation for their Redeployment.

Meanwhile, Louise and Andrew spotted Major Townsend shooting her Glock 19 Pistol in the Shooting Range.

Louise: Major Townsend is shooting at the Targets

Andrew: What can you say about her shooting?

Louise: She needs more Practice in order to be a Good Shooter.

Major Townsend turned at Louise and Andrew.

Maj. Townsend: Sergeant Young and Sergeant Smith.

Andrew: I saw you Shooting a Gun on the Range. Seems you are pretty good.

Maj. Townsend: Its just a Practice Shooting. After my Combat Duty as a Combat Medic and Promotion, i was unable to shoot a gun anymore. So i wanna bring back my old self as a shooter.

Louise: To be honest with you Major, You need more practice. But because you are Part of the Trinity and you are our close friend, We will help you out.

Maj. Townsend: But im not a Ranger. I am a Combat Medic with Basic Training on Shooting.

Louise: So what?

Maj. Townsend: You are the best Unit in the US Army. You are Rangers and Im not. I am from a Regular Unit.

Gen. Steele: And a Soldier can do Multiple Roles. Whether you are a Ranger or not.

Maj. Townsend: General.

Gen. Steele: Major Townsend, I guess you need a new work. As of today, you are under my Command now. But you will lead Lieutenant Parker and Captain Macmillan's Companies.

Maj. Townsend: Sir, Why?

Gen. Steele: Because i saw potential on you. I read your records and you are doing great, 4 Tours in Iraq as a Combat Medic and as an LT, promoted to Major last 2012 and you have an high IQ in terms of leadership.

Maj. Townsend: Alright Sir, On one condition.

Gen. Steele: Say it.

Maj. Townsend: Make me a Ranger and let me take care of Parker.

Gen. Steele: Understood on Parker but on the Ranger part well No need, Townsend. You are now a Ranger. Lead the way, Ranger.

Maj. Townsend: Yes Sir.

Major Townsend salutes at General Steele.

Maj. Townsend: I cannot promise you anything, But i will do my best, sir.

Gen. Steele: Alright Ranger.

General Steele leaves.

Louise: So Major. How is it?

Maj. Townsend: God Help Me.

Later, Matthew and Captain Macmillan were in General Steele's Office.

Gen. Steele: Gentlemen, I have to tell you something. Major Sanderson is no longer your Superior Officer. He will lead the Companies of Lieutenant Kim and Jackson. But they are still under my Command. And You have a New Superior.

Matthew: Who was it, Sir?

Major Townsend enters her Office.

Maj. Townsend: General, i made you some coffee...

Matthew: Major Townsend?

Capt. Macmillan: I cant believe it. Doctor Townsend.

Gen. Steele: Parker, Macmillan, She is your CO from now on.
