Operation Jungle Storm

Lore & Background

In 2010, the People's Democratic Front, an anti-American Marxist–Leninist political party-turned-terrorist group, attempts to overthrow the democratizing government of Cuba after losing an election by requesting support from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), but they fail and are defeated by the Ghosts. When FARC attacks an American embassy in Colombia, the Ghosts turn their attention to helping the Colombian government and United Nations peacekeepers combat FARC and the Movimiento de las Fuerzas Libres Colombianas (MFLC), a similar militia active in southern Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The Ghosts deploy to Colombia and hunt down several key MFLC figures, defend civilian centers spread throughout the region, rescue hostages, and cut off the MFLC's drug smuggling revenue stream. However, operations against the MFLC and FARC reveal the existence of rebel sleeper cells in Cuba which, if activated, could topple Cuba's new democratic government and embroil Latin America in a needless conflict. Tasked with preventing their activation, the Ghosts and a UN peacekeeping force assault an MFLC stronghold at a radio tower before the sleeper cell activation can be transmitted, preventing the escalation of the conflict and allowing the Ghosts to defeat the MFLC while making FARC lose the initiative in their rebellion.
