Dream: US Army Reinforcement Group

20210102, I was back in the Army as part of the support group fighting a war. There were many soldiers from different walks of life being there involuntarily. Company B was the main company that we were helping. There was a ceremony that took place before we deployed to the battlefield. The person in charge was calling each name like a roll call of who is present or absent. Every time a name was called, there was no response because the soldier was already killed in action. Their name were written in a visible board where everyone can see. We were there for Company B as part of the reinforcement but just waiting. At one time we waited all day doing nothing. We were waiting for orders to be deployed. No one was doing anything but just discussing personal stories. At some point, the place where we stayed became so quite. When a partner of mine looked around every body was gone. We started hiking looking for the entire Company and found them at a distance doing nothing. My partner ran so fast and left me and I have to catch up with him. In the end, I found him rejoined the group doing nothing. When we were about to leave, he instructed me not to forget the light bulb that he placed in a pole. He made a light pole to illuminate the place we stayed with a bulb that was connected by an extension cord. The bulb was not the normal incandescent bulb, it was a special halogen bulb which is like a spot light pointed in one direction. We were still not in the battlefield and just waiting for military orders. It feels like it was all like a waiting game since the war was close to be over.
