Trapped Behind Enemy Lines	comment	An elite unit of soldiers is cut off behind enemy lines and has to fight their way to safety. It's usually the result of hubris either on the part of the unit or (more often) their higher command. Sometimes they are even intended to fight their way back home. Common causes: An attacking force was counter-attacked and encircled. A defending force was attacked and encircled. Transport/navigation failure dumped them in the middle of nowhere. A raid went awry, cutting off their escape route. Prisoners of war escaped. In the case of mercenaries (like Xenophon), the sudden loss of an employer can do this as well. An individual version often occurs with downed pilots. These can be especially problematic as pilots are generally less well trained at surviving in such scenarios. They are commandos, long rangers or guerrillas who are assumed to fight their way back to their own lines. May lead to a You Are in Command Now situation. Usually contains at least some Field Promotion. You Shall Not Pass! may be required — or worse, a Last Stand. If an escape is made, it may be by means of Vehicular Turnabout. This will sometimes to a siege situation in case the soldier/soldiers are boxed in by the enemy during an escape. See also Fighting for a Homeland. Many stories with this will follow a basic plot of The Homeward Journey for the soldiers trapped as they will usually be attempting to get to safety. When the stranded individual is a spy rather than a soldier, it's Trapped Undercover.

Followed in the next book by probably one of the biggest prison breaks in all of history, fictional or Real Life, escaping with roughly half a million prisoners and a squadron of large warships. This basically exaggerates a similar (but much smaller) exploit of Horatio Hornblower (of whom Honor is an Expy) in Flying Colours. He brought home twenty men and a tiny cutter.

Amusingly, since they are no longer being micromanaged by their incompetent officers or being forced to adhere to their army's ineffective doctrine, they are actually more effective while cut off behind the lines than they were before, and proceed to blow a gap into the enemy's defenses, allowing the first counteroffensive of the war.

Travers and his fellow paratroopers are outnumbered some 5 to 1 each and every time against the Axis forces they're pitted against, and are forced to fight tooth-and-nail in order to achieve their objectives.

Trapped Behind Enemy Lines / int_e694aadb	comment	The Ciaphas Cain novel Death or Glory starts with the titular protagonist and his faithful aide Jurgen landing in the middle of an Ork-infested continent, half a world away from the front lines. In Cain's attempts to find friendly forces to put between himself and danger, things snowball until he's cobbled together a small army of soldiers, civilians and militia cutting its way out from the heart of Orkish territory and turning the tide of the whole war.

The two of them, their friends and a little fraction of what was supposed to be a huge military force were cut off in the middle of enemy territory with no way to return or ask for reinforcements. Everybody decided to fight despite the odds and fulfill their mission.

It could've been played this way, but Tear uses her "I'm from the Order of Lorelei" card, which ropes Jade (who should've been skewering Luke since their nations are at war) into helping out instead. (And Jade's reasonable enough to ask some questions first anyhow.)

Trapped Behind Enemy Lines / int_fe24dd6f	comment	Medal of Honor: Medal of Honor (1999) and Medal of Honor: Underground: Virtually all of Lt. Jimmy Patterson's and Manon Batiste's missions take place deep within German or German-occupied territories, with both of them being heavily outnumbered and outgunned each and every time. Their objectives usually revolve around sabotage, espionage, and the gathering of vital enemy intelligence. Medal of Honor: Frontline: Most of Lt. Jimmy Patterson's missions following the first level are set deep behind German lines, from Occupied France, to the Occupied Netherlands, with the penultimate levels being set deep within Germany itself. Oftentimes, Patterson's only allies are either a handful of Paratroopers or members of the French and Dutch Resistance, providing him with weapons, ammunition, vital intelligence, and even first aid. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault: In the base game, the vast majority of the levels have Lt. Powell, a Ranger and OSS agent, deployed deep behind German lines, often with the task of stealing or sabotaging German intelligence or equipment. At one point, he's even assisted by Manon's Resistance cell during a mission in France. Similarly, in the Spearhead expansion, due to Barnes being a paratrooper and later an OSS agent, he's often tasked with accomplishing his objectives while being outnumbered and outgunned. The two aversions to these are during the second and third Bastogne levels, where he fights in or near American lines. In the Breakthrough expansion, Baker is forced into this situation quite a few times, with the most notable cases being the raid on Bizerte, landings at Gela, the Battle of Monte Cassino, and finally at Anzio. Medal of Honor: Vanguard has this happen to the protagonist, Corporal Frank Keegan and his Squad during Operation Neptune as the result of a plane crash, fittingly this happens on a mission called 'Behind Enemy Lines'. Medal of Honor: Airborne not so much as "trapped behind", but more of "dropped behind". Travers and his fellow paratroopers are outnumbered some 5 to 1 each and every time against the Axis forces they're pitted against, and are forced to fight tooth-and-nail in order to achieve their objectives.
