Occra Hills, Sierra Leone - September 10, 2000:
The light is faint and the coast is quiet when the choppers sweep in. At 6:00 in the morning, there is a leap of faith that the roar from three CH-47s won’t wake the sleeping rebels. If it does, the hostages will die.
Six members of the Royal Irish Regiment are held captive by one of Sierra Leone’s most fearless and violent rebel groups, the West Side Boys. The hour is early and the kidnappers lay sleeping, unaware of the intrepid assault that is unfolding around them.
The Chinooks rapidly lower 150 British paratroopers. In succession, the soldiers descend chest-deep into the swamp. They wade through 500 meters of thick, murky water to the dry land south of Magbeni, Sierra Leone. It is the jungle, rampant with fierce animals like bush pigs and wild chimps. And it is rampant with military guerrillas.
From the surrounding swamps emerge Special Air Service snipers. Patient, silent, undetected: snipers have observed the hostages for nearly a week from the mire. At last, they mobilize with stealth, wading slowly to the jungle’s edge, where they lead the troops through 150 meters of dense foliage to the edge of the village. But stealth is no guarantee: As they approach, enemy bullets sear through the tangle of flora surrounding them.
Simultaneously, 24 Special Air Service agents and more paratroopers descend swiftly down ropes, infiltrating the enemy retreat across the river. They silently approach the crude huts marking the village of Geri Bana, where the lives of six members of the Royal Irish Regiment have hung in the balance for 16 agonizing days.
Barely visible in the faint morning light, the rebels are slumbering in their hammocks when the SAS unleash a rude awakening: a sudden barrage of fire from M16 rifles and machine guns, and an explosion of flash bang grenades. Deaf and blinded, the enemy is weakened for five precious seconds.
And an astounding rescue begins.

JasonSuitor: what seems to be the problem, can you explain a bit?
Tips and tricks are already on the website:
http://www.kumawar.com/OperationBarras/tipsandtricks.php
I just might add a few lines:
- when the primary weapon ammo is getting low (lower right corner of your HUD) pick up the first AK47 and then ammo clips (just clicking use on AK47s lying on the ground from fallen enemies). Since almost all of the badguys use this type of weapon, ammo shouldn't be the problem at all. Of course, there are also some other pieces lying around, for example very powerful machinegun RPK.
- always enter the house clearing the corners (pie tactics considered in SWAT), take the view one small step at a time until you see the enemy. This way you'll get out of the jungle alive... of course, always check for a split second the back to make sure the enemy is not creeping behind you from the rear exit of the hut.
- always know where your teammates are (especially in COOP)
- on the way back to the extraction area (chopper) there might be some new enemies reinforcing the region and trying to kill your hostage. Clear the way for the hostage (first press H to order him to stay put) then call him with Follow key, of course you have to be near him to give commands...

it's a rather easy mission if you have "Realistic Damage" turned off. one of my main problems, however, is when my A1 teammates get "stuck" on things, like trees, logs, inside buildings, or won't cross the river. in this case i have to switch plyers, and the guy closest to the enemy will usually die or loose lots of health, so make sure you maintain constant radio contact
