It's been about 5 years since the New California Republic's victory at Hoover Dam against Caesar's Legion, and about 3 years since they were able to push the Bull's forces past the irradiated ruins of Camp Searchlight. After the NCR had felt like they had a good hold of the New Vegas area, the government changed it's policy from expanding it's borders to focusing on their domestic issues, and the military had changed it's tactics from being conquers to bolstering their ranks. These changes in strategy were all thanks to the harsh lessons that were given to them during their war against Caesar's Legion; their numbers were thin, their troops lacked the discipline that a professional army demanded, and their enemy was not shy in exploiting their weaknesses. But time has passed, and their leaders had licked their wounds, and as of result the NCR has begun to experience prosperity and their resources were no longer stretched thin; making them more than ready for round two in their fight against the legion. To which they call into service of a Ranger Company to scout a potential target at the edge of their borders, and if possible to recover whatever old world tech could be found, and used by the NCR. These men haven't been active since the Battle for the Hoover Dam, since then their primary objective was to help maintain law and order, so when the unit had received word of their new mission they were more than excited to do their job and fight the legion once more.
