THE STORY:

This paintball event is themed to the ever-popular Ubisoft/Redstorm game series known as "Ghost Recon." After a great deal of research, the Mission Masters Team designed an all-new mil-sim campaign that fits the "Ghost Recon" theme perfectly and delivers all the style you've come to expect on the paintball field!

The year is 2010. Latin America is a hotbed of conflict as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia - known as FARC - is on the verge of overthrowing the U.S.-backed Columbian government. More evidence flowing into the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency confirms that FARC is being aided by the Columbian Drug Cartel (CDC) and the notorious Venezuelan dictator, Hugo Chavez. While it's yet unclear as to the direct interest Chavez has in the usurpation of the Columbian government, one can only surmise that his hatred for the U.S. and their support of emerging Columbian democracy is playing a crucial role.

While FARC funds itself by kidnapping, extortion, money laundering, and illegal drug trade using resources from the CDC, Chavez pours money into the organization via his enormous oil revenues. As a result, FARC is gaining more than just currency, it's gaining power and the Columbian government is on the verge of collapse. Numerous FARC Safehouses have sprang up all over Columbia, used to train their members, plan attacks, launch electronic espionage, and record media propaganda to spread their cause.

In an effort to diffuse the situation, a Special Forces unit of the U.S. Army, codenamed Ghosts, is sent into Columbia to take out FARC and eliminate their stranglehold on the government there. Their secondary mission, though no less important, is to discover the real threat Venezuela poses to not only the Latin American region, but also to the U.S.

Ironically, the day the Ghosts arrive, a shocking event takes place which allows them to pinpoint a region of FARC activity. FARC mounted a bold attack in broad daylight and rocked the Columbian capital with simultaneous explosions, including one which heavily damages the U.S. embassy and kills two of the ambassador's aides. The Ghosts engage from the shadows in an attempt to stop the agenda of terror enacted by the FARC on the Columbians.

THE TEAMS:

TEAM BLUE
THE GHOSTS are a fictional elite United States Army Special Forces unit (Green Berets). The Ghosts are the spearhead of the U.S. Army's rapid response to any contingency around the world. They are the first unit deployed into dangerous situations and the last ones to leave ("First In, Last Out").

The unit uses the nickname "The Ghosts" as they rely more on stealth to accomplish their missions rather than sheer firepower. However, if things get rough, they can cut loose with the most advanced technology the United States has to offer.

"Recon" refers to the fact that the Ghosts operate in small self-contained units which can do their work swiftly and silently. Their missions may include: penetrating deep into enemy territory to rescue captured personnel; surgical strikes prior to a main assault force; reconnaissance and intelligence gathering; pathfinding and target designation for air strikes. The Ghost Recon game emphasizes that the Ghosts are the "tip of the spear." Info collected from Ghost Recon Retreat.

TEAM RED
FARC: Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia
FARC is organized along military lines and includes several urban fronts or militia cells.
The FARC claims to represent the rural poor in a struggle against Colombia's wealthier classes and opposes the United States influence in Colombia. Other prominent areas of focus for the FARC include fighting against privatization of natural resources, multinational corporations, and paramilitary violence. The FARC says these objectives motivate the group's efforts to seize power in Colombia through an armed revolution.It funds itself principally through extortion, kidnapping and participation in the illegal drug trade.

The FARC attacks civilians not involved in the conflict, plants land-mines, recruits underage boys and girls, maintains hostages for ransom and political leverage, some of them for as long as 10 years, and is responsible for the displacement of civilians through conflict. The FARC also frequently recruits teens as soldiers and informants. Human Rights Watch estimates approximately 20 to 30% of the guerrillas are children under 18 years of age.
