The long deployment into the bush has taken its toll on the men and the next few months of quieter plans are abruptly interrupted when the team is recalled to prepare for the big Invasion. The mission…infiltrate a private airfield from the sea and render a ruthless Dictator's Learjet inoperable, preventing his escape. Easy day, right? Think again. Jack’s team (affectionately called, 'the Lumber Company') prepare for battle. A captivating glimpse of what goes on behind closed doors at a SEAL Team are revealed, as the hardened roughnecks are quite the colorful bunch. Under the cover of darkness the commandos sneak into position only to be surprised by the Invasion starting early and ruining the element of surprise, before they are in position. What Jack didn't know is that the airfield was a lot more important to the enemy than the intelligence reported and a hub-zone for hundreds of highly trained Cuban mercenaries and a division of Castro's special forces advisors, which the Panamanian Dictator was infiltrating in preparation for the impending invasion. Jack stumbled on a hornet's nest, and without the proper cover and communications, his men were in for the fight of their lives. Undermanned and under-gunned, the SEALs become engaged with the heavily armed force at the hanger bay, where the Lear jet was kept. Catch with their pants down, the unsuspecting SEALs are severely ambushed. The bloody fire-fight rages on for several hours, but eventually the SEALs gain the advantage and fighting is temporarily halted. Several of Jack's men have been killed or wounded and now they are all low on ammunition and still have to find safe haven. They are re-tasked to hold the airfield for another night until help arrives. Now battered and bloody, they continue to fight for a new objective…Revenge.
