You can earn special ranks and commendations by taking advantage of opportunities on the battlefield. Keep an eye out for Targets of Opportunity throughout Wilderness, and try to complete them all! When you have completed all of the Targets of Opportunity on Wilderness, report back to Lieutenant Colonel Cimoch at Alia Das.
If at any time you abort this mission and then decide to restart it later, not all 10 of the opportunities will be listed in your mission tracker (specifically, the story-based missions won't be listed as tasks to complete). However, this does not stop you from going back and completing the targets of opportunities. When you revisit the caves, kill off the required enemies, etc., the game will give you credit for them.
You can wait for great opportunities, or you can seize a common occurrence and make it great. Weak soldiers wait for opportunities; strong soldiers make them.
You want to make a name for yourself? Maybe even get a commendation placed in your permanent record? Keep an eye out for those opportunities and seize them!
Keep your eyes open out there on the battlefield and you'll know what I'm talking about when the time comes. Make me proud!
You're one of the finest natural born soldiers I've ever seen come out of Boot Camp! If you keep taking advantage of your opportunities the way you have here on Wilderness, you're going to go far.
I'll tell you, a few hundred more soldiers with your grit and we could take Earth back and send the Bane straight to Hell, where they belong!
Unknown Name A trail further south of Ranja Trail. One entrance is WSW of the Imperial Valley Compound (-491,-606) The other end, which is easier to find, is under the bridge near the Enigma Caverns (trail starts at -743, -571). Be warned though it's filled with Miasmas.
Special Note: If you're trying to complete the Wilderness Targets of Opportunity mission and are sitting at 5/6 caves visited; try checking back at the first cave (Alia Caverns). Most people take ToO after visiting this cave therefore it wasn't "visited" while on the mission.
