CO-OP MAPS

New Co-op Campaign – Story: Manuel Suazo Azcona has emerged as the leader of
a new rebel movement in El Salvador. Azcona's plan seems to be an attempt to
destabilize the governments of both El Salvador and neighboring Honduras.
Once their respective governments are weakened, he will incite the people to
try and overthrow both countries' U.S.-backed leaders. The Ghosts are being
sent in to quell this uprising before it starts.  They must first stop the
rebel incursions over the two nations' shared border and then hunt down the
rebel leaders one by one. If they fail, America's efforts in the region
could be set back by decades.

Caves – (Ghost Recon®)
§          Azcona's squads are using the nearby caves as an operational base
for raiding army convoys across the river. Detain and extract the rebel
leader and recon the area for any hidden weapon caches.

Railroad Bridge – (Ghost Recon)
§          Intel reports the rebels are moving on a command post 60 clicks
southeast of here. Protect the command post, recon the local rail line and
hunt down the informant providing intel to the rebels.

Battlefield – (Ghost Recon)
§          The last rebel unit in the area is holed up in the village of
Venta. An allied armor unit on the edge of town is pinned down by artillery.
Ghosts, knock out the enemy comm transmitter, then escort the armor through
the village.

Plantation – (Ghost Recon®: Island Thunder®)
§          Intel shows a rebel leader's motorcade is moving through the
farms south of here. Take out his convoy and destroy all of the surrounding
ADATS before Sabre Seven arrives for extraction.

Swamp Airfield – (Ghost Recon: Island Thunder)
§          Azcona's rebels have occupied a small island airfield. Recon the
area for intel on this operation and destroy all aircraft to prevent any
means of escape. The landing strip is targeted for an air strike so get out
ASAP.
