The problem:
Indigenous criminals terrorize and maraud in a Latin American valley.
An energy corporation from your country wants to set up a lucrative palladium mining business in this valley and asked your government to clean the mess up first.
The mission:
Solve the organized crime problem to the extent that the mining business won't be affected. Success expected in six months.
The enemy:
A homeless youth gang, mostly known for domestic drug business, arson and random violent crimes.
A protection money and drug export gang with firearms and stolen explosives (from mines).
A rumoured corruption network run by a pre-existing competing mining company.
Possible opposition by corrupt policemen and mining company guards.
Your resources:
10,000 USD/week, plus four retired senior NCOs from your country (two with combat experience, two with mostly support experience). Four one-way flight tickets. A two-hour briefing at the embassy.
The terrain:
A valley, mostly with potato fields. A small polluted river separates both valley halves. Few and weak (enough for a truck) bridges. Small forests. Larger settlements mostly in favela style, smaller villages in rural style.
The civilians:
Many illiterates, qualitative malnourished, few rich families with traditional claims to power, many poor families, a tiny middle class of clerks. 30% unemployment, 30% under-employment. 100% conservative Catholics. Traditional drug abuse is significant. Everyone can speak Spanish.
Your turn.
Send a group in first with lots of money and start buying local loyalty to the extent possible.
Take time( approx 3 months) to build up information on all local dynamics and players.
Begin talks privately with gov officials about which "law breakers" they're looking for and get set to turn the info over to gov when you're ready to.
Use the extortion groups paid guarantees to build what you need built and pay the young gangsters well to build it.
Look for those who have shown the most promise in leadership and probable long term stability to last and turn all the rest of them over to the gov to do with as they please.
Pay those left well and spend the next month or so consolidating any developmental cycles you established
Month six fly to Tahiti and sleep well and wealthy since you apparently have no conscience or ethics but you did finish the job as requested.
Back to you ;):eek::D.
sheesh, Try to keep it K.I.S.S

Anyway, I don't see yet how bribes in themselves would have lasting effect.
Ron's solution looks to me a bit as if the opponent(s) were static targets.
Lucky boy if that's part of his interpretation's details, I'm a bit less optimistic.
and theres always the whole bit to bite ya in the backside:o
You'll recall when others mentioned the "details" part you wanted to stick to the basics:D
Anywho, As to your original case you have to admit from the perspective of one merely being hired to get the mine running productively and fairly securely the Whole might be considered by the hired help to be someone elses problem:cool:
