SnowRunner | Scouting Island Lake | Part 13 | Runner Mode

OPERATIONS LOG — IRON TRAIL (SnowRunner | Runner Mode | NG Plus) Michigan | Part 13 DRIVER: Bruce "Mud Crab" Warren OBSERVER: Whiskey One Winch Point deploys to Black River under 'Runner Mode' protocol following a severe storm event. Operations focus on reconnaissance, route recovery, logistics support, and regional stabilisation across a damaged and isolated environment. Operation Iron Trail enters its final phase as Winch Point completes remaining work in Drummond Island before deploying into Island Lake. The final Drummond Island task, "Lost Delivery", is successfully completed, bringing regional operations to a close and allowing resources to be redirected toward the final area of the Michigan campaign. Upon arrival in Island Lake, reconnaissance operations commence to establish situational awareness and identify future objectives. Initial taskings completed include "A Little Help for My Friends", "Signal in the Mountains", and "The Huntsman and the Car", providing valuable intelligence, supporting local residents, and improving access throughout the region. Additional tasks, contracts, and vehicle upgrades are also identified during reconnaissance, laying the groundwork for the final stages of Operation Iron Trail as Winch Point prepares for larger-scale recovery and logistics operations across Island Lake.
