Back in Your Own Backyard

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
There are two different ways to complete this quest: Killing all of the Legion Members and rescuing the hostages, or just killing the three hostages.

To rescue the hostages, kill all of the Legion and then release them from the telephone poles. They will run back to the rest of the squad on their own. After this you can return the quest to Ranger Milo. You can also dress yourself as a member of the Legion and then walk to Nelson. It's also possible to use the ridge on the west side of Nelson as a vantage point (preferably while sneaking) to eliminate Legion members.

If you kill the hostages you may not have to deal with the Legion members. After killing all three, return to Milo.

(360 version) Please note if you agree to kill the hostages, but instead decide to free them, you won't be able to turn in the quest until the hostages are dead. The game glitches out and Ranger Milo will instead say he is ready to get your back. Also note that if you decide to kill the NRC troops at this point, you will gain Infamy with NCR so it isn't really worth turning the quest in; rather reload a previous save file, or just move on is your best option from here.


 * Update (360 Version): However, I did discover that when I saved before killing the hostages; once I reloaded to let the hostages live, I could then turn in the quest.
