Sniper: Special Ops

Sergeant Jake Chandler leads an overwatch team with Delta Force to extract the American Congressman held by the Taliban in a remote Afghan village. The rescue starts with promise, but heavy gunfire erupts, forcing quick action and confusion. Chandler and his spotter Rich become separated from the main unit as the firefight rages around them.

The fighting costs the squad dearly, with several members dead or wounded. An emergency evacuation is ordered, and chaos forces Chandler and Rich to slip away from the main team. The pair navigate a deteriorating frontline as their unit pulls back to regroup.

Back at base, Mosby pushes to return for his missing comrades, but Lt. Col. Jackson denies the request. Instead he assigns a critical task to secure munitions that could sustain the base, a mission deemed potentially vitally important. Vasquez and Jennings join him to head out later.

The trio heads out to rendezvous with Spc. Tyler at a broken-down munitions truck. Janet, the NATO photographer, accompanies for support and documentation as Tyler carries a woman and child who are the Taliban leader's last surviving family members. The mission carries heavy personal stakes from the start.

As the group advances, Rich's fever worsens, hampering his fighting ability. Chandler pushes for a risky evacuation to get him to safety, risking exposure to enemy fire. The developing illness heightens the tension and urgency of the mission.

The convoy negotiates a dangerous path through hostile territory, with Mosby's leadership tested at every turn. Navigating checkpoints and potential ambushes, the team strives to keep the fragile plan intact. The ongoing risk amplifies decision-making under fire.

In a critical exchange, Mosby orders Jennings to return to camp with Janet and the supplies while he and Vasquez carry the woman—Jada—and her child back toward the Taliban, aiming to secure the safe extraction of Chandler and Rich. The decision shuffles the burden and reveals a dangerous gambit. The convoy is pressed hard by time and the threat level surges.

Reaching the city, the supposed handover appears to go through, but Janet is in disguise and the ruse is exposed. The mission's plan unravels as the team realizes they have been manipulated. The tension peaks as they reassess their next move under increasing danger.

Janet uses her covert position to attach explosives to the Taliban leader, triggering a decisive blast that eliminates the threat in a single, brutal moment. The explosive action shifts the balance and creates an opening for escape. The team reacts to the sudden collapse of the enemy command.

In the aftermath, Chandler and Rich, who has endured a fevered decline, are finally rescued by Mosby, Vasquez, and Janet. The trio pushes through the chaos to retrieve the wounded and extract the site. The operation secures a hard-won recovery amid the wreckage of the mission.

The team contends with losses and sacrifice, acknowledging the heavy cost of bringing teammates home. The operation ends with a painful but steady sense of completion. They acknowledge the bravery and persistence required to operate behind the scenes in war.

The mission demonstrates the relentless persistence of those who keep soldiers safe from behind the scenes. It highlights strategic calculation, near-misses, and the ultimate price paid to ensure a return home. The unit consolidates the experience as a testament to teamwork.
