Storyline:
Operation Scorched Earth began as a standard counter-narcotics operation to disrupt the opium trade funding the Taliban. Task Force Ripcord, a joint US Navy SEAL and Australian Commando unit, received intelligence pinpointing a series of heroin production facilities nestled within a remote valley in southern Afghanistan. The valley, historically a major opium poppy cultivation area, had become a key node in the Taliban’s funding network. The initial objective was clear: disrupt heroin production by destroying these facilities, crippling the Taliban’s financial resources and limiting their operational capabilities.

The mission was planned as a swift, surgical strike. Ripcord would insert via HAHO, neutralize any resistance, destroy the processing labs, and exfiltrate before dawn. However, during the initial reconnaissance phase, satellite imagery revealed an unexpected presence: a small encampment near one of the target facilities. Further investigation revealed the presence of British journalist, Alistair Finch, and his Afghan cameraman, Karim. Finch, a seasoned war correspondent known for his in-depth reporting, had been investigating the link between opium production and Taliban funding. Finch was taken 6 Months ago live on camera, his whereabouts until now a mystery.

Intelligence suggested a local Taliban commander, known only as “The Viper,” was operating in the area. The Viper was notorious for his brutality and unwavering loyalty to the Taliban cause. It was suspected he had taken Finch and Karim hostage, likely hoping to use them as leverage or propaganda tools. The discovery of the hostages immediately shifted the mission parameters. Scorched Earth was no longer a simple search and destroy operation; it had become a high-stakes hostage rescue. The risk had escalated exponentially. Failure is not an option.

Operation Scorched Earth is a go!
