**SEE BOTTOM FOR AFTER ACTION REPORT**
### Situation:
3 days ago **ASIO** and **NZSIS** were tipped off to a **large-scale weapons shipment moving through Bolivia** by a mid-level gun runner named **Gabriel Rodriguez.** Nobody from the intelligence community has spoken to this guy before, he approached us out of the blue so whatever **this guy is spooked about must be something big, that's what the CIA thinks**, and if that's what they're saying I'm inclined to believe them.
### Mission:
It was our find so we’re getting involved. Still, it’s America's backyard and they’ll be able to act on **Gabriel’s** intelligence better than we can so **we’ll provide cover and support**. At the same time, **DEVGRU Operators make contact** at the rendezvous and extract with Gabriel.
Nothing should go wrong but a Mid-level gun runner **snitching is bound to aggravate some of his more radical customers**. I wouldn't count on them sitting idle.

**-- Gabriel Rodriguez --**
### Execution and Considerations:
**Undercover, Subtle.**
When we're in the country we want to raise as few eyebrows as possible until we need to. that means **we can't bring in our weapons** and equipment. **Buy clothes, weapons, and vehicles from the host nation country only**, DEVGRU operators will be doing the same for the most part. Try to blend in with the population as much as possible.
- Civilian attire
- No Body Armour, ballistic Helmets or Rigs
- No Visble Weapons
- Do not exceed 20kg of equipment
- 3rd world weapons only, Including Attachments and ammo
If your cover is blown, avoid major population centers, that means people, People means eyes, and employ evasion techniques.
### After Action Report:
After being engaged by local Gangs all DEVGRU operatives were surrounded and killed, CJTF attempted to intervene but they were too late. HVT **Gabriel Rodriguez** fled into a canyon towards his hideout. CJTF was tasked to pursue and extract **Gabriel Rodriguez** instead of DEVGRU agents. CJTF fought through the canyon but was ultimately too late as Bolivian BOPE and local Police surrounded both sides of the canyon and detained 3 Operatives along with **Gabriel Rodriguez.** During the surrounding of CJTF, one operative resisted arrest and was killed, another was able to make it to the extraction point, and another retreated to the CIA Safehouse.
**Repercussions:**
The resulting Diplomatic incident had long-lasting repercussions. **US Special Forces command was blasted in the media for months** as footage of the incident made its way online, **Congress opened an Inquiry, and a full investigation was launched into leadership malpractice.**
**The CIA safehouse was scuttled** and set back operations in the area for months resulting in a pullout of CIA in that region of Bolivia.
**Gabriel Rodriguez was found dead in his cell a day after he was taken into police custody.** As a direct result of CJTF's failure to extract **Gabriel Rodriguez** the large shipment of arms moving through South America went uninvestigated and **as a result a Chinese ultranationalist plot was allowed to flourish uncontested,** and a new even more anti-western government took office.
With the new Chinese government in effect, they have begun reaching out to Iran, Russia, and a few African nations to construct an organization to directly oppose NATO and the rest of the Western world.
