History

San Hieronymo Incident

Main article: San Hieronymo Incident

After Roy Campbell fell ill with malaria, a soldier in Big Boss' resistance provided information on the hospital's location, having once been a former member of a squad that patrolled in that area. He also revealed that the hospital had recently received an unusually large shipment of supplies, especially in comparison to the size of the facility. After infiltrating the facility to search for antimalarial drugs, Big Boss discovered that most of these supplies had been transferred to a research lab to the north, from a shipment log in the hospital director's office. Around the same time, a Hind A carrying Gene, his right-hand Ursula, and Cunningham were flying in the vicinity conducting search efforts for Snake and Campbell, with Snake ultimately forcing himself to hide due to sensing Ursula's presence.

Sometime later, a spy unit deployed in the area uncovered evidence of Claymore mines being placed at the hospital by soldiers under Gene's command. Big Boss's resistance then attempted to defuse the Claymores before any of the hospital staff (who were left unaware) ended up severely wounded or killed.
