Two story expansions were later released. Standing against them are the well-trained sicarios of the Santa Blanca Security Forces and La Unidad, an elite Bolivian military police unit originally tasked with driving out Santa Blanca out of Bolivia, but ended up with a tenuous cease-fire agreement after months of bloody fighting. Credit is failure, so the Ghosts must do all of this without implicating the US' involvement in the cartel's destruction. A 4-man team from the classified special operations unit: Ghost Recon, comprised of: Nomad, Midas, Weaver, and Holt, are tasked with covertly dismantling the cartel with the help of the Kataris 26 rebels, a local rebel movement opposing Santa Blanca in the region who is led by Pac Katari.
After the cartel supposedly bombed the US Embassy in La Paz and brutally tortured and executed an undercover DEA agent named Ricky Sandoval, the CIA launched "Operation: Kingslayer", a top-secret revenge mission against the cartel, with the ultimate objective to neutralize its leader: El Sueño. The game's plot revolves around a Bolivian-based drug cartel named Santa Blanca, who has turned Bolivia into a narco-state. A later update introduced "Ghost Mode" an new game mode that features perma-death to a player character if killed and access to only a primary weapon and sidearm, instead of two primary weapons. A competitive PVP mode, titled Ghost War, was later released as part of a free update. It is set in a massive and responsive open world, with the whole campaign playable either solo or with up to 4 friends. It was announced during the Ubisoft E3 2015 Conference, and was released on March 7th, 2017. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is the tenth installment in the Ghost Recon franchise.
