Blueboy Assault Group’s priority was to gain control of the POWs as quickly as possible. They had to eliminate any chance that the guards might try to shoot the POWs. Captain Meadows was to announce on a bull horn,

“We’re Americans! Keep your head down! We’re Americans! This is a rescue! We’re here to get you out! Keep your head down! Get on the floor! We’ll be in your cells in a minute!”

In the photo below, Capt Dick Meadows has a CAR-15 with an ArmaLite Singlepoint Sight, The Bullhorn, Amber Goggles, The Miners’ Light, PRC-90 Survival Radio, and a knife strapped to his leg.
