Their mission is to capture the warlord's aides at a home in an area heavily controlled by his people. The plan is to drop in via helicopter, secure the area, storm the house, grab the aides and get the hell out. They figured the job would be easy enough, only taking about 90 minutes or so...but what they didn't plan for was thousands of angry civilians up in arms over what they saw as America's intrusion into their internal affairs. First one, then another, helicopter is shot down as the area is swarmed, and suddenly the peacekeeping mission becomes one of war as the soldiers must rescue their downed comrades. What begins as a 1-1/2 hour operation becomes an 18-hour fight for their lives, as the outnumbered Rangers and Commandos must stay alive against overwhelming odds in the country's most hostile region until they can be rescued.
