A towering citadel, Carracosta Island was the fear of all Special Operations and Marine commanders as attack after attack on it had failed miserably at a terrible cost of life. And this time, they had not only the fortress to deal with... Half the entire Spanish Navy would be there as well...

Intelligence had reported that the very root of the problem, Carlos de la Verde Santia, would be traveling there as part of his "War Inspection Tour." Naturally this would be the perfect opportunity to strike a double-hit on the forces of Spain. Capturing or killing their leader and taking their strongest fort in the Caribbean, but it would be bitter-sweet. The amount of losses would be tremendous, everyone knew, but it had to be done...
