Albert Rust and several of his men were the first to arrive on the southern side of Young Field. They saw hundreds of federal troops rolling out of their personnel carriers quickly and orderly. The Federal troops formed up into squads and began to take defensive battle positions.

Several pickup trucks and a few more Humvees provided by the Idaho National Guard were still taking their defensive positions inside of Young Field as the commander of the Federal troops called out to them from the other side of the fence. “If you throw down your weapons and surrender, you will be given quarter. There is no reason to lose your lives today. We have you completely outnumbered, out trained and outgunned. You have five minutes to comply or your blood will be on your own head.”

Trey Dayton told the men near him on the line, “Don’t listen to him! That is the same thing they told those soldiers that were infected with the Ebola virus. If we’re going to die, let’s die right here and die with our dignity.”

Albert Rust looked at Will Pender and said, “I’m going to go down the line and give everyone a heads up. Wait two minutes and blow all the mines on the south side.”

The militia had fragmentation mines buried outside of the barbed wire fence. They were hard-wired into four detonators. One for each side of the camp. Will Pender was holding the detonator for the south side in his hand.

Albert started up the left side of the line to tell them to open fire after the detonation. He was trying to avoid using the walkies in case the federal troops were listening in on their frequency. He sent James Macintosh up the right side of the line with the same message.

Will looked back and forth from his watch to the detonator. The adrenaline coursing through his veins was making his hand shake. The seconds counted down slowly. There were 20 seconds before he was to light up the enemy line. The enemy was oblivious to the fact that they were sitting right on top of the mines. 10 seconds. Will focused on the watch and the toggle switch. 5, 4, 3...

“Don’t blow it!” Will’s walkie screeched out. It was Albert Rust’s voice.

Will’s shaking hand was on the toggle. The sound almost made him hit the switch.

“Don’t blow the mines yet Will!” Rust reiterated. “There are a bunch of soldiers surrendering to us.”

More than a hundred soldiers had thrown down their weapons and were walking quickly towards the militia’s line.

Bill Maxwell was right beside Albert Rust and Pastor John Robinson. Bill said, “I think it’s a trap. I think we should shoot.”

Pastor John said, “Let’s put some men on them and see what they have to say. If it is a trap, we’ll mow them down.”

Rust said, “I agree Pastor, but you should be in the shelter. These people need a spiritual leader.”

Robinson replied, “God is their leader. If He sees fit to bring me home today, He’ll raise up someone else to fill the gap.
