OPERATIONAL CONTEXT
Why the event matters in the wider war
Emergency breakout from the first airborne contact zone.
KNOWN CONSEQUENCE
What changes afterward
The Club escapes the immediate drop zone and carries the fight into rural South Carolina.
CONTINUITY INTEL
Cross-links and downstream significance
