Drug lord Hector Chiro, long a thorn in the U.S.'s side, managed to escape the noose of US forces once again, fading into his strongholds in the Mountain regions of Colombia along with his new allies and captives. Since the conflict with the Chiro Cartel has faded, the U.S. has focused on strengthening the Colombian Military and Police forces, to deal with Chiro and the local drug war themselves . The Pentagon, once again dealing with more prominent issues in other theaters began to withdraw the majority of its forces, handing over local authority to the DEA and CIA operatives.

The current President, in his final term is determined to end his Presidency on a high note in South America and has authorized whatever is necessary to finish the job. The President has again persuaded some allies to join its Coalition Forces, including US,  British, German, Philippine, and Russian units to battle the scourge of the international drug trade.
