Black Spear Milsim

24 Hour MilSim

Area of operations – Narrow Water Castle

Background:

The Republic of San Cordoba, a struggling coastal nation in South America, has become the newest battleground in the global war on drugs. For years, the powerful Los Martillos Cartel controlled jungle river routes and remote smuggling corridors, moving cocaine, weapons, and cash through isolated villages and corrupt port towns along the Gulf of Espera.

After a series of assassinations targeting government officials and undercover agents, the San Cordoban government requested international assistance. In response, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration deployed elite FAST (Foreign-deployed Advisory and Support Team) operators to work alongside the nation’s tactical police units in an effort to destabilize cartel operations before the country slips into total cartel control.

Recent intelligence has identified a major cartel expansion near the coastal region of Puerto Verde, where Los Martillos has established hidden cocaine production facilities deep within the jungle. Protected by armed fighters and concealed beneath dense rainforest canopy, these labs are operated with the help of some local civilians who are paid by the cartel to harvest coca, refine narcotics, transport supplies, and warn of police movement. Some civilians cooperate willingly for money and protection, while others work under intimidation and fear for their families.

As part of Operation Hammerhead, DEA FAST teams and San Cordoban police forces launch a coordinated offensive to locate jungle labs, intercept narcotics shipments, seize cartel weapons caches, and capture high-value targets connected to Los Martillos leadership.

The operational environment is chaotic and unpredictable. Civilians move constantly between villages, farms, and cartel-controlled areas. Informants, smugglers, and armed cartel lookouts blend into the population, making identification difficult and increasing the risk of collateral damage. Every patrol through the jungle may uncover a hidden lab, an ambush site, or frightened locals trapped between government forces and cartel rule.

What to expect:

Operation Hammerhead is a 24-hour immersive Military Simulation event focused on semi-realistic tactics, roleplay, and dynamic interactions between military, cartel, police, and civilian elements.

This is not a skirmish-style event built around constant firefights or nonstop action. Players can expect long-form objectives, patrols, intelligence gathering, checkpoint operations, negotiations, reconnaissance, civilian interaction, and unconventional warfare scenarios. Combat may be intense and sudden, but patience, teamwork, and immersion are key parts of the experience.

All participants are expected to remain in character where possible and follow instructions from their chain of command and event staff.

Certain camping areas are considered patrol harbors, these are in game areas where eye protection must be worn at all times, including sleeping. Units in an “off game” campsite must have magazines out and guns on safe.  

Note on uniforms for this event.  

Factions in this event are distinguished primarily by headgear and uniform. We expect you to make a decent effort with your uniform to avoid friendly fire incidents as well as looking the part of your chosen faction.  

All factions are permitted to wear a helmet at night for the purpose of using night vision. If helmets are not your listed faction headgear you may only wear one at night if using a night vision device. 

If you are not sure about your chosen uniform please contact us before the event to check.

This unit represents a national tactical response team operating in Puerto Verde and the surrounding jungle region.

Expect to conduct checkpoints, patrols, village security, joint operations with DEA FAST teams, civilian interaction, and targeted raids on cartel-controlled areas. Police units may also be responsible for securing evidence, protecting government officials, escorting detainees, and maintaining order in populated areas affected by cartel influence.

This faction is ideal for players who enjoy immersive roleplay, law enforcement style operations, and working closely with civilian populations.

This unit will be accommodated out of game. Players will have access to a campsite area and may bring civilian tents. There will be approximately a 15-minute walk between the campsite and the FOB.

Upon request, sections may also bivouac in the field on Saturday night and/or conduct a Friday night insertion. Please contact event staff via email if your group wishes to arrange this.

What to expect in this unit.

This unit represents cartel gunmen, smugglers, traffickers, and enforcers operating throughout the Puerto Verde region.

Expect to defend jungle drug production facilities, move narcotics and weapons through the AO, establish influence over civilian populations, conduct ambushes, protect cartel leadership, and fight aggressively to maintain control of territory. Cartel players should focus heavily on unconventional tactics, mobility, intimidation, and blending into the local environment.

This faction is suited for players who enjoy irregular warfare, roleplay, and unpredictable gameplay.

This unit will be accommodated out of game. Players will have access to a campsite area and may bring civilian tents. There will be approximately a 15-minute walk between the campsite and the FOB.

Upon request, sections may also bivouac in the field on Saturday night and/or conduct a Friday night insertion. Please contact event staff via email if your group wishes to arrange this.

Civilian Population

What to expect in this unit.

This role represents the local population of San Cordoba living and working throughout the conflict zone. It is primarily a non combat role and this is reflected in the ticket price.

Civilian players may take on a wide range of immersive roles including villagers, fishermen, farmers, traders, drivers, labourers, informants, local workers, journalists, or individuals connected to cartel operations. Some civilians may cooperate with law enforcement, while others may work willingly or unwillingly for Los Martillos Cartel. If you have an idea we are open to suggestions! We will issue all players with roles if you want to let us choose. CIVPOP will have an imbedded marshal as a village elder.

Expect heavy interaction, negotiation, information gathering, trade, and dynamic roleplay throughout the event. Civilian actions can directly influence operations, faction relationships, and mission outcomes across the AO.

This faction is ideal for players who enjoy immersive roleplay.

This unit will be accommodated out of game. Players will have access to a campsite area and may bring civilian tents. There will be approximately a 15-minute walk between the campsite and the main civilian area.

Upon request, civilian groups may also bivouac in the field on Saturday night. Please contact event staff via email if your group wishes to arrange this.
