OPERATION FINDING DOLLY (2024-06-02):
Booked for a morale-raising USO performance, Dolly Parton arrived in the northern parts of South ChelteNam on an unfortunate weekend: that of the yearly national North Cheltenamese Dolly Parton Impersonation Contest - for the zider-drinking foe also loves Country and Western music. Landing unwittingly at the wrong village - on the North Cheltenamese side of the border - and beginning her performance to entirely the wrong audience, it was only a matter of time before the North Chelt realised they had in their grasp a hostage that would totally neuter America's will to continue the conflict.
This national icon could not be lost, and so Endgame Red were infiltrated into North ChelteNam disguised as another impersonator group, to search out the five contest locations and retrieve the Real Dolly Parton.
The mission was successful, although according to the new official history of the ChelteNam war, the conflict intensified once the North Chelt were able to allege that the USA attempted to use several groups of Dolly Parton impersonators to assassinate Ho Cheese Min.
