Follow The Trail: Mission 2 - Fancy Schmancy (SECOND UPDATE)

**Can't do straight updates because this map is old as ♥♥♥♥ & I screwed up the file names. Changed from HOSTAGE RESCUE to CLEAR HOSTILES. This will replace the previous version in the Follow the Trail Collection; the previous version will be removed from the collection but will remain on my Workshop.**

INTEL PACKET - OPERATION SILENT LYNX
Date & Time: Oct. 26, 2018 - 1940hrs
Target Location: small villa in Kabul, Afghanistan
Enemy Personnel: 2x HVT (kill/capture orders), 8x enemy operators
Civilian Presence: 1x hostage, believed to be under imminent threat
Friendly Personnel: 2x operatives from D Co., 1st Bn., 5th SFG (Ghost Recon)

After the raid on the village in the Lataband Pass, one of the HVTs gave up a sliver of information; the OPFOR contact they corresponded with has ties with an arms dealer in Kabul. The arms dealer, Mohamed al-Nasri, is currently on a CIA watchlist as a "person of interest". After we received this information, we passed on the details to the ISA, who have currently been tracking al-Nasri for the past 48 hours. They have tracked him and a small security detail to a villa in the more affluent suburbs of Kabul, where the Activity has confirmed that an arms deal is currently taking place.

Under normal circumstances, it would be a simple mission; get in, arrest al-Nasri, eliminate his security detail and get out. However, there is, of course, a wrench in the works. The CIA has contacted us and let us know that one of their undercover operatives, an Afghan-born man named Abu al-Qasim Hassan, has missed his last two check-ins with his handler, and they believe he is under imminent threat. We've been told that Hassan was attempting to infiltrate al-Nasri's inner circle in order to bring his operation down from the inside. Aside from that, the CIA hasn't told us much else; they're doing their signature move of withholding information that could potentially save lives.

The Activity has, once again, kindly provided us with intelligence from one of their unarmed Predator drones; the compound is small, with the villa on the western side of the compound. At the time of this briefing, there is currently only one car in the parking space on the east side of the compound, but this could change at any time. Because of the nature of this operation, we must minimise our signature; this means we can't go in loud. The fact that our hostage could be killed at any time, coupled with the fact that we're operating in a public area, means we have to go in quiet with a small team. Two Ghosts are to enter the compound and clear it with suppressed weapons; if we're discovered, we may have to scrub the op. Our priority is to recover Hassan and rescue him; if we can arrest al-Nasri and whoever is attempting to buy arms from him, that's a bonus. If they're killed, it's not the end of the world. With Hassan's knowledge, we should be able to keep following the trail even if we don't have al-Nasri. That being said, try to capture them if you can.

To summarise, your objectives are as thus follows: infiltrate the compound, recover Hassan and eliminate any threats to his safety, and kill or capture al-Nasri and his associate. Prep your kit, and get this done.

Swift, silent, invisible; nobody gets left behind, Ghosts.
