A VIS deep-cover asset, codenamed Sapphire, had been compromised and captured by the rebel militia known as the Ligeria Liberation Army (LLA). Intelligence pinpointed Sapphire’s location at a house near the Ligeria-Nagonia border region. Due to Sapphire’s extensive knowledge of the LLA, a low-visibility rescue mission was authorized.
Team 7 was tasked with executing the rescue operation. After receiving their mission brief and formulating a plan, the team began preparing their gear and equipment for the mission. Each operator meticulously checked their weapons and communications gear to ensure everything was in perfect working order. Ammunition was distributed, and medical kits were stocked.
With every detail accounted for, Team 7 launched the high-risk rescue mission. Before departing, the team took a quick photo to mark the occasion.

This morning (2 September 2022), officers smashed through the doors of 17 properties in the north, south and centre of Manchester, as part of a dedicated day of action to target criminals linked to the supply of drugs across the region.
The warrants were carried out simultaneously in areas including Wythenshawe, Whalley Range, Gorton, Longsight and Moss Side.
Today’s day of action was undertaken as part of ‘Operation Safer Manchester’ which is a City of Manchester based partnership initiative to crack down on crime in key areas affecting local residents including drugs, burglary, robbery and vehicle related crime.
Chief Superintendent Rob Cousen, of GMPs City of Manchester district, said: “Drug related criminality can have a devastating impact, destroying the lives of vulnerable people and creating the funds for organised crime groups to grow and further infiltrate our communities.
“The fight to crack down on drug supply never stops and today’s day of action is just an example of the work we do on a daily basis across Greater Manchester to keep the public safe.
“As always, and especially with drug related crime, we rely heavily on information from the public to help us to identify offenders so we can take them off our streets. I’d like to appeal today to anyone who knows anything about drug dealing happening in their local area, or anyone who may have suspicions about it happening, to contact police. This can be done anonymously by calling Crimestoppers and really does make a difference”.
Anyone with information can contact police on 101, or via our Live Chat service at: www.gmp.police.uk. Call Crimestoppers on 08000 555 111.
Would you like to make a real difference to our communities and help us make Greater Manchester a safer place to live? We are recruiting police officers in a number of exciting and rewarding roles.

A cannabis farm found at one addres.
Twenty three people have today, 1st November 2011, been arrested following an investigation into the August disorder.
Operation Valant was launched by Greater Manchester Police to identify and arrest those involved in the widespread disorder across Manchester city centre and Salford on 9 August 2011.
Today, following a series of dawn raids across Salford, north and central Manchester and Bury, police have arrested 13 people wanted on suspicion of arson, violent disorder and looting. A further three people were arrested as part of the operation on suspicion of unconnected offences.
Officers have also recovered suspected stolen clothing and other items and uncovered a large cannabis farm.
In the near three months since the disorder, Greater Manchester Police has launched a huge operation to target suspected offenders, arresting more than 350 people and putting more than 200 of those before the courts.
Many of these have arrests have been carried out thanks to tremendous support from the public, who have come forward and put names to CCTV images the Force has published on its Flickr site and in the local and national media.
Assistant Chief Constable Ian Hopkins, who leads Operation Valant, said: "What today's action shows is that almost three months since the disorder, we are still relentlessly pursuing those suspected of being involved in the shameful actions we saw that day.
"We know from talking to our communities that what happened on 9 August continues to provoke feelings of anger and outrage. Many shopkeepers are rebuilding their livelihoods and people are still trying to come to terms with the violent and ugly scenes the police and the public were faced with.
"That is why Greater Manchester Police is continuing to arrest anyone suspected of being involved in the disorder. As today shows, whether it is a matter of days or months, we will be coming through the doors of anyone involved whether it is a looter, an arsonist, those who attacked police officers or even those who used social networking sites to stir up trouble.
"The support we have received from the public has been fantastic and their information has enabled us to make more than 350 arrests. We need that to continue. Greater Manchester Police will continue to put out images of suspects and I would urge people to call us if they recognise someone. As today has shown, with the public's help we will track these people down."
Anyone with information should phone the dedicated appeal line number on 0800 092 0410 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Fifteen people have been arrested by Greater Manchester Police in raids as part of an operation to target drug dealing in Oldham.
The people were arrested when officers raided 15 addresses just after 6am today, Thursday 21 July 2011.
Officers from Oldham's Neighbourhood Policing Teams launched the operation, codenamed Operation Rescind II, as their response to concerns the community had that drug dealing was a problem and, in turn, increasing crime and antisocial behaviour in the area.
The raids follow on from Operation Rescind, where officers raided 16 addresses in March 2011, which came after months of investigations by officers from the Oldham division and Serious Crime Division into the distribution of heroin and crack cocaine.
In the latest raids this morning, 15 men were arrested on suspicion of drugs offences, including possession with intent to supply class A drugs, after officers executed warrants across the Oldham area. Properties were raided in the Hathershaw, Chadderton, Westwood, Alt, Werneth, Moorside and Ashton-under Lyne areas.
Shotgun ammunition has been recovered from one address and a quantity of cannabis has been recovered from another.
More than 100 officers were involved in the raids and included officers from the Neighbourhood Policing Teams, Serious Crime Division, tactical aid units and dog handlers.
Superintendent Catherine Hankinson, from Greater Manchester Police's Oldham Division, said: "Today shows that the desire to rid our communities of the blight of drugs is continuous and we will go back and keep tackling the issue in the same area as many times as necessary until the problem is dealt with.
"Residents told us that class A drug dealing was a worry to them so we have responded robustly to combat this.
"Drugs wreck lives and the crime associated with them causes misery to the whole community - so we do everything possible to find out who is responsible and put them before the courts.
"These arrests are the culmination of hundreds of hours of work by officers and we have used divisional and force resources to gather the intelligence we needed to take this action. It is not a quick process and we thank the community for their patience while we have been building the strongest case possible."
