Operation: Druglord - AAR Part III (All hell breaks loose)

And so off they went.

The 3 men disguised in civilian clothing proceeded to the Druglord’s hideout. They easily passed through the checkpoint leading to the target location, contemplating if they have been tipped off. Despite the though, they did a reconnaissance round of the area to check for possible complications. There where none.


They were stationed 2 houses down the street to avoid detection. Last minute preparations were made and the go signals were given. Everything went according to plan, the briefcase was planted and delivered by our defector.

The 3 men nonchalantly walked over to the gate and stepped in. They stealthily made their way to the primary staging area, hearing some scuttling about in the suspect’s house. The expected phone call was made and further instructions were given to the Druglord.

The Druglord was now isolated in a 2nd floor room, the 2-man assault team is in position, distraction (smoke) charges in place and the negotiator on the phone ready to cut-off the electricity to the entire house. Everything was set in place.

Until everything went awfully wrong…

Just as the assault team were repositioning themselves, an unexpected noise came. One of the doors on the second floor opened….it was the Druglord. Intel got it wrong, he was in the wrong room. One of the assault team members opened fire, missing the Druglord by a hair, and the lights went out.

Sporadic bursts of fire followed, keeping the Druglord at bay in his fortified position in the room. The lack of NVEs (Night Vision Equipment) prevented the assault team to storm the room and end the siege. The negotiator joined the assault and tried to set the smoke but equipment failure became his downfall. He was hit by a shoe and two children’s book launched by the Druglord, who stormed out and took the negotiator out. Being unarmed, he was considered a kill right then and there. He was able to relay a last command to the assault team to take the suspect down.

The blitz came and shots were fired. The suspect was hit, but only wounded. He was able to grab one of the weapons of the assault team, fortunately the magazine fell out (plus the fact that the gun broke) which saved the life of the operator. The point man, carrying an SMG was able to take control of the suspect using intimidation tactics.
The end result: one operator dead, one injured, one weapon destroyed. The Druglord however, died from his injuries sustained during the gunfight, apparently shot in the back rupturing his lungs.
