The shot was fired an hour down the road from the base in an APC going a good 45mph, far enough away from the base to be considered part of the battlefield between Randgriz and Vasel. Squad 11 could have been part of the outer patrols of the base, but nevertheless were sufficiently far from Breda to be a viable target for Imperial attack. To clarify, the road north leads through wooded areas with no urban development and only a few hamlets dotted around; perfect ground to ambush a patrol.

As for retrieving the lance, standard operating procedure for locating an ambush survivor would include securing the immediate area and radioing for reinforcements to secure the ambush site. In the circumstances, reinforcements are unlikely since the regiment is still organising for the march north, so the squad has two options; accepted the loss of the lance and leave the fate (and dogtags) of their comrades unknown, or proceed to secure the area with the resources on hand. Harald is more likely to choose the latter, especially since they have about a week to secure the avenue to Vasel; they're in no real rush to hit Le Haye Sainte.

And you can bet Kyo would very much support this (in IC).
Albeit I don't exactly like our odds.
Oh well, we'll see what's going to happen.
