My first thought was of a 'straggler collection point'. The PCs are instructed to entrench into a small settlement and stragglers will be directed to them by radio. When they have collected enough the PCs do a 'cannonball run' towards the nearest NATO unit and drop off the collected stragglers. They may also be used possibly for prisoner swaps as an afterthought.
I like these ideas, mostly because I've wanted to try the "settling in" part. It could easily be reversed: the PCs are directed to join a group that's already dug in.

The "usual suspect" for a mission from higher would be to raid supply lines and/or gather intel from the Pact rear areas, with or without aid from the Polish Free Legion or other partisans.

Going after a PW camp would be a great idea!
