Osiek
In game descriptions of Osiek:
As the Mad Dogs follow Weaver into Osiek, one of the first things they notice is the tenable advantages afforded to the defenders by the local geography. The village sits up against the banks of two large lakes, with the waters forming natural barriers that shield it against attack in most directions. From this approach, there is but a narrow split of land, a bottleneck no more than 200m across, that one needs to cross in order to gain entry into the village. Large swaths of brush have been cleared away here for fields of fire, salvaged wire obstacles to further channel attackers into even tighter kill zones, and from the road you can see several several camouflaged slit trenches and weapons pits. There's no doubt some mines have been laid as well, but the road itself is open and gated only by a large truck that's rolled aside for entry. Properly sited and supplied, a single platoon could probably hold this particular entry point. Beyond this, Osiek itself, little more than a farming community, appears fairly intact with a modest sized civilian population. The air greets you with the pleasant smell of wood smoke, as midday fires are fueled by the deep forests surrounding the community...

...Despite the seeming availability of unoccupied homes and other buildings, the mixed Polish/American force have set up their headquarters in a patch of trees near the center of the village. It's an impressive structure, the type of bunker that division and corps level field commands build, and is likely to have originated as such beforehand. The roof, constructed of logs and packed soil is a few feet thick, and nearly impossibly to detect from the air. Smaller above ground structures made of logs and sandbags ring the main bunker. Although the facility is large and meant to accommodate many staff and support troops, there only seems to be but a dozen men here, much less so than the Mad Dogs. The only vehicles present besides your own Humvee, are a UAZ-469 and camouflaged ambulance...
