TheWoWDBThe name of this quest, "Ooh Rah!" is an attempt at sounding like the marine's call Oorah!. Much debate around the origins of these battle calls. Is it H.U.A. = heard.understood.acknowledged ?

Description
We're going to need a harbor for our base of operations. Those ruins across the way should be perfect for our needs. Unfortunately, it looks to be occupied by a hostile force so I'm sending the marines to secure the shore. As the most experienced soldier here I want you to go with them. I don't want to see a single hostile remain when our engineers arrive. Now, go take that harbor in the name of the Alliance!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Voyage to the West
Reconnaissance reports that the Horde has made inroads into the desert of Vol'dun. We can't allow the Horde to continue to work there unchecked, so we're preparing an expedition to establish a beachhead. <name>, as one of our most accomplished soldiers I'd appreciate if you joined us.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Establish a Beachhead
I won't allow Private Leonard's sacrifice to be in vain. Let's get our men out here and fortify this place up before those... "sethrak" decide to come back. Here, plant this banner somewhere visible so the ship knows its safe. That platform over next to the dock should do the trick.
