Roughly, by calling in CAS danger close. Repeatedly. While fending off attackers with a 4-1 advantage. Then receiving a letter of reprimand because you dared allow 9 of your men to die in the attack.
"Failing to prepare the base's defenses sufficiently" my ass. If anyone should be reprimanded it should be Schloesser. He's the one who wanted that COP there but didn't want to support it. And now, after 9 men died in its defense, he's the one who was ok with us just leaving it and letting come what may.* Same thing happened recently with Taliban Stan shooting down recommendations from his officers. We left COP Keating too, but not before we lost 8 lives defending it. Great fucking strategy.
* The Taliban were "what may"
