INTRODUCTION:*
Years of corruption in the Mexican Government has allowed the Drug Cartel activities to flourish unabated. Now, the citizens of Mexico have had enough. The ineffective President Fox is overthrown in a bloodless coup and a new President has been willed by the people. The majority of the law abiding, incorruptible government officials step in to throw their support behind this new president, urging him to take immediate action by protecting the people of Mexico against this threat from within.**

In an unexpected and extremely controversial move, the new Mexican President appeals to the US for military assistance. The US President, with most of the regular US Forces tied down in the 'War on Terror' declines. In highly secretive, emergency sessions the Governors of Texas and Arizona seize the opportunity to secure the US-Mexican border, by working together, unified in the defense of the interests of their citizens.**

On September 1st, 2005 in coordination with Mexican authorities, National Guard units of Arizona and Texas cross the US-Mexico border. Their lead elements moving forward in support of Mexican Army actions against the Drug Cartel.**

NOTE: Do not upgrade your units or add to the Core Force, just repair the existing units.**
