Jungles of Central Columbia

400 miles Northwest of Bogota, Columbia

The dripping was constant, in fact, it was not really a dripping at all, more like a steady showering here under the canopy. The heavier rain could be heard striking the canopy above in wind-swept torrents, providing a constant background roaring that eddied with the wind up above. But here under the canopy, there was very little wind, just the dense humidity, the constant roar, the very close quarters in the thick undergrowth and the constant, showering from the canopy above.

It wasn't that the Captain didn’t have prior experience in jungle operations. To the contrary, he had operated in Southeast Asia on many occasions where the jungle was just as thick as this. He had also operated in African jungles where large carnivores could ruin an operation as surely as the enemy…and where those same animals could also eat you alive if you weren't careful. But somehow, those jungles were different. The humidity here seemed denser. The sounds of the jungle were somehow more muted to his keen ears. There was just a different feeling about the jungles here in South America. He had heard that it was worse right along the Amazon, where the Brazilians were fighting Argentine and Chinese infiltrators and insurgents.

“This Amazon basin is so vast,” he thought. “A resourceful enemy could hide in there for years.”

He wondered if he would be assigned to any operations over there in the future.

“Who knows? Can't be any worse than the deserts and mountains of Iraq. At least there is plenty of cover here and you don't feel so exposed, even if my Farsi and Arabic is better than my Spanish,”

he continued to himself. “But right now I have my hands full right here thank you very much.”

The Captain quickly turned his head and peered carefully out of the blind he had set up fifty feet from the trail and looked through the trees and foliage to a point sixty feet up the trail from his position. The other five members of his team did the same all along a circular portion of the trail where they had set up their ambush. All together he had eight members in the team, himself, three former U.S. Navy Seals, three members of the elite Colombian Special Forces and a local guide.

The point man had signaled to them six minutes ago that the enemy was approaching along the trail. A simple, almost inaudible click over the channel they were all monitoring had told them.

About twenty seconds later a double click had informed them that the last man in the enemy group had passed and that their target was amongst them. Now those enemy personnel were approaching, entering the trap the Captain had set for them.

Each team member had carefully laid out a field of fire that overlapped those next to him but did not endanger other members on the other side of the semi-circle from them.
