Situation
Background Information
One of UNITAF's men has been captured. His captors have sent ransom demands for a large sum of money and the release of captured ISIS militants
We don't negotiate with terrorists!
The CIA has done some investigative work and they have located the rough area where our man is being held. Note CIA intelligence indicates he is being held by inexperienced members of ISIS
The small village he is believed to be held in has been under UAV observation for the last 2 days
From the limited recon for the drone, we know that there are two small compounds of interest. There is a stockpile of weapons in one of the compounds
We are unsure at this time which compound he is currently being held in due to regular movements in the village
IMPORTANT there's a high amount of non-combatants in the village
