This scenario assumes that Mexico is dealing with a drug cartel based in Guatemala. The cartel has been smuggling both drugs and weapons into Mexico. The Mexican government is determined to stop these criminal activities.

*** OPERATIONAL: IMMEDIATE ***

ATTN: Commanding Officer, Revolución

You are instructed to initiate OPERATION SMART BRACELET.

INTEL/SITREP

The Guatemalan cartel is attempting to move a large quantity of cocaine into Mexico via ship. Our informant tells us the ship is headed for a landing point somewhere between La Crucecita and Tonalá.

ENEMY FORCES

The smuggler is a conventional freighter of about 6,000 tons. We have reason to believe that her crew may be armed with some military grade weapons (e.g., machine guns). Use caution when approaching her.

FRIENDLY FORCES

Your forces consist of the Revolución and the Veracruz.

MISSION

Intercept and capture the smuggler. If it proves impossible to capture the vessel, sink her.

EXECUTION

To intercept the smuggler, you will need to position one of your vessels or police launches close enough to her (i.e., no more than a few hundred yards) and for a long enough period of time to successfully complete a boarding operation.

You will be operating in an area with significant mercantile traffic. Avoid damaging neutral vessels.

COMMAND AND SIGNAL

Command: Revolución
Signal: EMCON State C (Unrestricted Emissions)

Good luck.
