NP-5 has two basic missions;
1. To set up a security screen that filters refugees (disarming the heavily armed ones at least) and then directing them to a refugee camp setup some 150 miles to the northeast. This is the mission brief as explained to the rank and file.
2. Only two members of the team (the CO and XO) are aware that NP-5's main mission is to screen a secret base in the area. They do not know the exact location. They are aware that they must monitor a special frequency for additional orders, but have no means of contacting the base.
