ORIENTATION:
SITREP/MISSION News Room - https://3dmrbru.com/forums/topic/5846-viking-side-ops-news-room/ During the campaign to locate the lab, a local source is reporting their compound is under heavy assault from local forces.
A National Clandestine Services team was tasked to extract the source but they were unsuccessful in getting out of the compound before they were surrounded. The source being a local politician we believe this is some sort of power push for control of the region.
Viking is being tasked with extracting the source and his family. A wife and son along with supporting the extract of the NCS team.
Under no circumstances can the US presence in the region afford the source be captured.
