Panama Prison78 viewsAside from going after Noriega in Panama, Special Ops also busted out an American from prison who was caught there with a transmitter to denounce Noriega. The American was guarded closely with orders to shoot him if America tried anything to get him out. Our mission was successful however and he did make it home alive.

D-Day Invasion of Normandy74 viewsThis is a map showing all the points of invasion. Well thought out, many things went wrong as paratroopers were dropped in the wrong place and landing craft hit the beaches miles away. Still, many things went right including the most important missions to win the day. Gliders were also used.

Weapons of Sabotage73 viewsThese delayed explosive devices and other weapons in the museum such as the tiny one bullet gun, hidden knives, and silencers are the stock in trade of spies and saboteurs. There really are research and development departments who design this stuff for them just like Q in James Bond.
The explosive on the left was placed on rail lines. The one on the right could be used in gas tanks and cans. These allowed attackers to be far away when they were activated.
