Description

Nineteen elite operators of Special Forces Alpha Team embed at Tres Encinas, forging 11 miles through suffocating jungle to Villa Cerreno.

Defying overwhelming odds against CRF guards, they execute Situation Room's 'Go' order, fusing infiltration grit with lethal timing under Bartlet's command.
