Operation Total Demolition
CATATUMBO VALLEY · CARTEL COUNTRY · COLOMBIA · MISSION 19 OF 19

Tasking
THE CARTEL BUILT A CITY IN THIS VALLEY: COCA TERRACES, KITCHEN LABS, A FUEL FARM FEEDING THE WHOLE OPERATION — AND A DIRT STRIP FLYING THE PRODUCT OUT. TONIGHT ALL OF IT GOES. BURN EVERY FIELD, CHAIN THE TANKS, DROP EVERY BUILDING — AND NOTHING LEAVES THAT RUNWAY. TWO PLANES OUT AND THE NETWORK REBUILDS SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Rules of engagement
- RAZE EVERYTHING — FIELDS, LABS, TANKS, THE STRIP
- THE FUEL TANKS CHAIN — USE THEM
- SA-8 AND TUBES ON EVERY GRID — KILL THE AIR DEFENSE FIRST
- TWO PLANES ESCAPE = MISSION FAILURE
