Scenario:
You are being hired by a merc company that works for your country's intelligence service.

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.
