"But Ackerman doesn't need to know that. The mission will still entail a night watch. We don't know what else you'll find there. I'll authorize you to take extra horses and a wagon for supplies. If you want it." Standard procedure would, in a larger sortie, be to set up a cache of blades and gas for soldiers holding a position.
He paused then and added, "If you see the Ape Titan, you are to abort the mission immediately and get to safety. Leave her behind if you have to. Is that clear, Captain?"
