Description: In the Philippines, a terrorist orchestrates a devastating attack using a bomb-laden ice cream truck, killing the U.S. Ambassador, his son, and numerous children at an elementary school. The mastermind, a Chechen terrorist named Abu Shabal, flees to a training camp in Indonesia. Meanwhile, in Costa Rica, CIA operatives Walter Ross and Lisa Morales gather intelligence on a drug smuggler known as Mikhail “Christo” Troykovich. Ross is killed, and Morales is captured and tortured in a jungle compound.
At Naval Base Coronado, members of SEAL Team 7, known as Bandito Platoon, prepare for their next mission. Lieutenant Rorke shares with Chief Dave that his wife is pregnant, and the team spends time with their families before deployment. A squad, including Rorke, Dave, Wiemy, Mikey, Ray, Sonny, and Ajay, is sent to Costa Rica to rescue Morales.
The SEALs infiltrate the jungle using a High Altitude Low Opening (HALO) parachute jump and wait until dawn to breach the compound. During the operation, Mikey is shot in the head, losing vision in one eye and falling unconscious, though he survives. The team successfully rescues Morales and retrieves a cellphone containing critical intelligence. However, the gunfight alerts the enemy’s quick reaction force.
The SEALs commandeer a truck to escape but are pursued by enemy forces. They reach a tertiary extraction point, where two Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewmen (SWCC) boats retrieve them. The pursuit is neutralized using miniguns, ensuring the team’s safe escape.
