You are right - its Challenge 48 - and they are similar to the group that escaped out of the POW camps in the UK - but very badly armed and small - only about 120 or so effectives - and per Challenge they were only armed with 41 firearms the majority of them civilian hunting weapons and very limited ammo - the best they have are three Uzi's, two AR-15's and and antique BAR plus a single Garand rifle and eleven shotguns - the rest are pistols and a few 22's
