Looks like an oddly secure "construction", "tower" or whatever. :)

I'm tempted to say "good work" without having any real knowledge of what went on here.

Is that acronym related to Charlie Foxtrot (and no, I'm not spelling out what that means. Make your own WAG.)?

Yeah well for a Charlie Foxtrot the plan just needs to meet with the enemy.

Can't remember if I mentioned these: The Seventy Maxims o f Maximally Effective Mercenaries.

I think they're pretty funny, albeit a little cynical.
