The first few missions see the Ghosts conducting operations against arms and drug shipping operations by agents and allies of Priego, the ultimate aim being to prevent any strong-arming of voters on election day.
Now it is up to them to set things right again, without making it appear that the United States is getting its hands too dirty, and ensuring the elections proceed smoothly. Although the FDG publicly denies utilizing violence as a means of coercion, the reality is quite the contrary, as the Ghosts quickly discover. The FDG are an outspoken anti-US political faction that wishes to return Cuba to its long-standing communist dictatorship. The FDG ( El Frente Democratico de la Gente or People's Democratic Front) has fronted a man named Ariel Priego as their candidate. It's time for the first free and open elections since Carlos Prio Socarras, who was overthrown by Batista in the early 1950s. Since Fidel Castro's death in 2006, the island of Cuba is wary of the communist rule it had been under for nearly 50 years. In 2010, two years after the events of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, and one year after the events of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Desert Siege, Cuba is free, or at least it's supposed to be.
