Intel Operative Rescue

Intel Operative Rescue was a rescue mission conducted by the private military group Militaires Sans Frontières on December 7, 1974.

Prelude
During the Peace Walker Incident in 1974, the MSF leader Big Boss and his lieutenant, Kazuhira Miller, formed the Intel Team division of MSF shortly after the rescue of a sandinista child soldier named Chico. The Intel Team eventually managed to have spies planted all over the globe. The members of the Intel team did various levels of reconnaissance, which they then submitted as a report to MSF before they conducted infiltration operations.

An exceedingly vital Intel Team agent known only as Hideo was assigned to a military prison in Cuba. However, shortly afterwards, he requested an emergency extraction from the site, also submitting his eyeglasses to Big Boss.

Rescue
On December 7, 1974, at 05:31, Big Boss arrived at the prison premises aboard the extraction chopper, a Hind D, and proceeded to, after being informed by Miller about his extraction and survival being vital, opened up the entry hatch for the chopper to sight Hideo. Hideo, having disguised himself as a Shapka wearing Russki, managed to hijack a jeep and was headed towards the heliport for extraction. However, Hideo's ride ended up disabled before he could arrive. Because of this, Big Boss was forced to directly intervene to save the agent by stepping off the chopper and attacking several forces. The situation got worse when an APC arrived, forcing the Hind to take off without them, though Big Boss managed to use a nearby VADS Anti-Aircraft Emplacement to destroy the APC, and later a Blackhawk chopper that was in pursuit of the Hind before it was safe for them to escape.

Aftermath
Upon escaping, Hideo unmasked himself and, after getting his glasses back, asked his boss for why it took him as long as it did.
