Brief
Prior to the cartel attack on Ocoro hospital, the rebels loaded a truck with vital medicines and tried to get them to safety, but Unidad stopped the truck at a checkpoint and confiscated it. Locate the truck, steal it, and take it to the rebels.
Mountain-Top Medicine Truck
This mountain-top outpost has a single, winding road to drive up to reach it, if you aren’t taking a chopper. It’s worth familiarizing yourself with the terrain before entering this base, as one of your team is going to be driving down the mountain and then southward to Puerto Nuevo.
Combat Outpost: Recon
TACMAP
This is a small base, but it has a number of veteran troops, and a good amount of defenses to circumvent. The two sniper towers on the highest point (west) and eastern perimeter are problematic, but the Mortar and Minigun just south of the target truck, near the barracks tents, ensure that if an enemy is killed and then seen by a Unidad soldier, or if the enemy spots you, this can turn into a hectic bloodbath. Make sure everyone knows their role, as well as what each building in the base contains (there’s a comms building, armory, and mess hall near the eastern sniper tower, and a hospital just west of the truck).
Parking Spot
Park the vehicle you used to get here, and have one of your crew drive it to block the road once the truck has driven past, waylaying any enemy vehicles from pursuing you.
Rocky Shortcut
A spot of careful climbing along the right rocky side of the road allows you to reach a set of concrete box defenses, and a view of the west sniper tower. Tag the sniper, then creep around the north side of the hospital, and access the target truck almost immediately, and with almost zero enemy interaction. With two Ghosts up here, the second can cause havoc, or steal the helicopter afterward.
Base Entrance (North)
There’s a sentry post to sneak around the north side of, to neutralize the guard there. Then enter the base by the open gap and work your way along the inside of the perimeter wall. When you’re in the northeast corner of the base, you can either hobble the enemy’s SUV (with C4, detonating only after the truck is stolen to remain stealthy), or use the SUV yourself to help block pursuers or guard the truck en route out of here. You can continue around the perimeter to reach the east sniper tower, too.
East Sniper Tower
Above the armory, across from the comms building, and north of the southeast mess hall is the second sniper tower. Feel free to tag the sniper from C, or physically climb up the tower to remove the threat, before using the tower to cover your colleagues. Note the gap in the perimeter fence; climb the defensive crates to enter the base without being spotted.
South Infiltration Point
Move from the entrance road (A) southeast around the rocks to the perimeter fence, which allows you up and into the base, along the south barracks area. Take care not to be spotted by the minigun or mortar operator, or the sniper on the west tower. From here, you can stealth-kill and move into the hospital, and through to the truck, or back up a teammate. You can also head southwest to remove multiple threats in the mess hall, or destroy a second Unidad SUV with C4.

Medical Supply Truck
Combat Outpost: Tactical Advice
A clandestine plan is most feasible, and infiltrating at B, moving up the rocky outcrop, into the hospital, and then stealing the truck directly, allows you to flee quickly, but under fire. Or, you can move clockwise around the perimeter of the base, tagging both enemy SUVs with C4 before taking the truck, so your pursuers are waylaid.
A variation on a stealth theme is recommended here, though there’s a greater chance of completely neutralizing foes if you have one Ghost tackle each sniper, then climb the tower and provide cover while two other Ghosts take out the vehicles, chopper, and finally reach the truck. Don’t break cover until the your own snipers are in position, and have removed the mortar and minigun enemies. Then engage in a firefight.
Or, simply have one teammate head from B to secure the truck, and three others in vehicles; armored APCs and/or a chopper are recommended. Then you can stop enemies after the truck escapes.
The Truck Stops Here
When the truck is en route out of the base, have the remaining teammates hop in and provide covering fire, or join the driver in a nearby vehicle or chopper to provide cover for any pursuing enemy vehicles. Drive the truck methodically, and don’t overshoot the switchback turns as you weave down the mountain. Then follow the route to the drop-off point at Puerto Nuevo. It’s not worth taking a shortcut until you see the poplar trees as you close in on the village. Then cut across to the road, and follow it to the small compound. The mission concludes once you exit the truck.
