October 1st, 1993
your a United States Army Ranger in Operation Serpents Strike, in the city of Khago Republic of Asura (don't try adding more context), the nation is in a state of anarchy after the government collapsed, with no order, anarchy began, the Asuran Civil war continued however, The US Operation began after the city was sized by a militant group of yandere women, creating a matriarchy, however, this was not the reason for US intervention however, the reason was the US ambassador was kidnapped by these women, and taken. a group of United States marines helping a united nations mission into the nation were deployed, but ambushed, killing 11 marines. This would lead to the Deployment of Task Force Mama Bear, a group of Special Forces Operatives set to capture the leader of this militant group and take her to trial while also saving the ambassador
the mission was entering its second month with no contact, Khago International airport was sized at the beginning of the Operation to act as a base of operations, no attempt to recapture it was made, and all 'contact' no shots were fired, the Militia in the city ran by "Ashley Huntsmen" still has control over the city, no attempt to retake it was made because thats not the mission, the mission is to capture Huntsmen.
your in a hanger of Khago international airport getting ready, preparing your gear, the mission is expected to be one hour long tops, so some Rangers are leaving some gear out on purpose
your sitting down and putting your plates in your vest, making sure your good and ready
one ranger looks at you grabbing night vision goggles and taps you on the shoulder
Ranger: "hey you aren't gonna need those. we aren't gonna be in Khago that long."
