Preliminary After-Action Report (AAR) from Patrol Tail 2

At approximately 2130 Zulu, regional command interrupted a preplanned
decontamination procedure, when acoustic sensors reported suspicious
activity in the large porcelain basin. Visual reconaissance revealed
SGT Rhonda and SPC Ding maneuvering rapidly in three dimensions,
using their primary probes at one another and a spot on the surface.
Increased magnification revealed they were detaining an insurgent,
cleverly disguised as a mouse.

It soon became obvious that these eager but inexperienced troops were
at a standoff with the insurgent, or at least had a confusion over
ROE. On being informed OPERATION SHOWER was being delayed, Tail 2
egressed the Tub Basin, leaving the insurgent, who proved mobile on
the ground, but unskilled in high-angle maneuvers to escape the area
where Tail 2 had isolated him.

A quick message to SGT Rhonda, using SOI-approved voice code of "come
take your mouse", resulted in a quick return and a recapture. The
regional commander realized an absence of TOWEL FORCE before ordering
the start of OPERATION SHOWER, and had to transport that asset to the
Tub Basin. On the commander's return, he discovered Tail Two had
returned, apparently chasing the insurgent back.

When Tail 2 recognized their commander, they concluded their recon
operation had ended. The commander called in FLUSH FORCE, personally
capturing the struggling insurgent and dispatching him with the
mighty Toilet.

It is recommended Tail 2 receive more close combat training. Records
do not indicate prior combat experience with the mouse faction,
although SGT Rhonda once did dubious battle with a long-stemmed
jalapeno, apparently identifying it as a mouse.
