**Operation Anaconda**was the name given to a military operation undertaken by TACITUS, the Special Defense Pact, the Black Cats, Shadow Force and Task Force Reaper. It was the first joint operation between two organizations that led to a huge turning point in the Third World War. It was also the first major operation involving multiple teams.

## Course of battle

Operation Anaconda was a two-pronged operation against the Islamic State occupation forces in Europe. One group would strike against the occupation forces of Iran, another group would strike against the Islamic State occupation in Greece. The intent was to weaken the Islamic State occupation forces so much that the Islamic State of New Palestine would have no choice but to retreat from Europe.

It was split into two main operations: Operation Diamondback and Operation Black Wolf.

### Operation Diamondback

Operation Diamondback saw a joint strike team with Special Defense Pact and TACITUS operatives deployed to ISNP-occupied Tehran, Iran, fighting their way through the streets of the occupied city, in order to find and capture an Islamic State militant known to have supplied the chemical weapons for the initial invasion of Europe, going by the name of Satam Faraj. Faraj was hiding out in the occupied city somewhere, and the SDP-TACITUS capture team was given the order to pursue him and capture him. With help from the SDP, TACITUS agents were able to locate Faraj, but he attempted to escape. However, the SDP and TACITUS continued to pursue him through the Catacombs and eventually found their way back to the surface, where they eventually captured Faraj following a lengthy car chase.

### Operation Black Wolf

After Faraj was captured and interrogated, he easily cracked and his intel led to an operation coordinated by the Black Cats, Task Force Reaper, Karma, Banshee Battalion and Shadow Force to eliminate Ibrahim Maslov, the head of the European occupation forces, currently headquartered in the occupied city of Athens, Greece, who was also responsible for kidnapping Shadow Force member Emily Harness earlier in the war. Unfortunately, the mission took a drastic turn due to Reaper soldiers being compromised. The end result was hundreds of Reaper soldiers dead or wounded, though the head of the European Occupation, a man named Ibrahim Maslov, was killed in a car wreck attempting to evade his pursuers, thanks to Shadow Force members Dolores League and Olivia Sellers, both of whom wrecked his vehicle in an attempt to kill him in retribution for the kidnapping of Emily Harness, in addition to his previous crimes against humanity.
