WARNING ORDER MSOT 8311 Legion SITUATION: The situation in Venezuela has only further deteriorated, turning into an all-out civil war. While most of the Venezuelan armed forces remained loyal to Caracas and President Maduro, some did break away, and many ad-hoc militias have formed. Officially, while the United States has recognized the opposition group's Salvation Unity Government (SUG) as the legitimate government of Venezuela, we are not to engage any Venezuelan forces outside of a 4km exclusion zone from the San Antero Port. However, Washington has concluded that the SUG will not last long without support. As such, we have been ordered to provide clandestine support for the SUG forces outside of the exclusion zone. All ground forces are to ensure that there are no identifiable markings on their person that can tie them back to US military forces while deployed outside of the exclusion zone. ENEMY: The main OPFOR in this AO are elements of the 12th Caribbean Ranger, 13th Infantry, and 14th Mechanized Infantry Brigades, of the 1st Infantry Division of the Venezuelan Army, and the Venezuelan Air Force is theoretically capable of responding within 30 mins. The 1st Infantry is a combined arms mechanized force with BMP-3s, BTR-80As, T-72B1s, and artillery support, with light airmobile forces reported nearby.

U.S. Establishes Humanitarian Safe Zone Amid Escalating Venezuelan Crisis Venezuela has plunged into a full-scale civil war, with violent clashes erupting between government forces loyal to President Nicolás Maduro and a coalition of rebel factions demanding democratic reforms. The conflict has engulfed major cities, including Caracas, Maracaibo, and Valencia, leading to widespread destruction and a mounting humanitarian crisis. In response to the escalating violence and deteriorating humanitarian conditions, the United States has established a humanitarian safe zone near the city of San Antero. This zone aims to provide refuge for civilians fleeing the conflict and to facilitate the delivery of essential aid. The U.S. military, in coordination with international humanitarian organizations, is overseeing the operation, ensuring the safe passage of displaced individuals and the distribution of food, water, and medical supplies. The relief effort also includes the hospitalship USNS Comfort off the coast of Venezuela. The U.S. Department of State has issued a Level 4 "Do Not Travel" advisory for Venezuela, citing extreme risks including wrongful detention, torture, kidnapping, arbitrary law enforcement, escalating crime, civil unrest, and unreliable healthcare. The advisory urges all U.S. citizens to avoid travel to Venezuela and recommends that those currently in the country depart immediately. President Maduro's government has condemned the U.S. intervention, labeling it a violation of Venezuela's sovereignty. In a televised address, Maduro accused the United States of orchestrating a coup and called on loyalist forces to defend the nation against foreign aggression. The international community remains deeply divided over the crisis. While some nations support the establishment of the humanitarian zone as a necessary measure to alleviate civilian suffering, others view it as an infringement on Venezuela's territorial integrity. The United Nations has called for an immediate ceasefire and urged all parties to engage in dialogue to resolve the conflict peacefully. As the situation continues to evolve, the humanitarian toll is expected to rise, with thousands of Venezuelans seeking refuge in neighboring countries. The global community watches with growing concern, hoping for a swift resolution to the conflict and the restoration of peace in Venezuela.
