Long Walk

"The Long Walk" is the name of Costello's historical liberation of Noble City on the 28th of October, during the Lovian Civil War.

Background
After Costello had first met up with Sigma-1 Tactical Operations Dispatch Platoon, he took them with him, planning to liberate Noble City. Costello did not bother taking the time to alert the United Nations Lovian Order Restoration Force, nor the Federal Police, of his plan prior to enacting it, figuring that they would tell him otherwise.

Taking Noble City
Costello traveled with his soldiers to Noble Beach, in a formation of motorboats. Once on the shore, however, he encountered strayed UNLOR troops loosely occupying the beach. When he discovered that their commander was MIA, and that the lost men were facing certain death, he integrated them into his platoon and assumed the role of their commander.

Together, the joint-task force would captured the beach, liberate the local Coastal Police outpost, capture the notorious Vadim Smith alive, and then proceeded to secure the southern-portion of the city. They would do this by marching neighborhood-by-neighborhood on foot. Skirmishes were common, and a fraction of Costello's men gave their lives in the effort. By dusk, however, their hike payed off, and they were occupying New Town. In the woods, they established campsite, where Costello had planed to rest before they would then head up Highway 1 and secure Noble City International Airport, which served as a base of operations for the terrorists. Under the cover of night, however, the UNLOR fraction of his men decided to leave without giving any formal farewell. They would go on to successfully capturing the airport.
