His strategic planning ability was clearly evident after "BIG BOSS" was gone. Campbell discarded code names, and built up the already hi-tech special force team by utilizing recon satellite orbits and other implementations, creating a completely new Campbell-way FOXHOUND.

In contrast to the instinctive and wild strategies of BIG BOSS's, he ekes out operation plans with caution and detail, and "zero residual presence" is of utmost importance. Roy was awarded several honorable titles in the late 90's.

FOX HOUND has no formal uniforms like "service uniform" nor "dress uniform", only "field uniform". Also, they don't have even service caps nor hats, and on their field uniforms there are nothing that can reveal identities and nationalities like military clothing labels, insignias nor instruction labels. Therefore, there is no danger that they reveal your identity.

Field uniforms can be divide into roughly cold and hot regional types, both supporting variable-camouflage system with internal heat and luminous sensors. They are hi-tech suits colloquially referred to as "chameleon suits".

Moreover, a polyesther shield with few radar reflection ratio called "camouflage screen" is being used together.

The purpose of camouflage is to blend the subject into background, and transform the unique specific figure which the subject own in itself. Variable-camouflage system achieves high camouflaging ratio by wisely compounding existing color patterns and the "chameleon color" which assimilate into the surrounding.

*Combat Boots

*Combat Gear

Special goggles
Not only sand- and wind-proof, but a real advanced stuff that can act as nocturnal vision in its infrared mode.

Binoculars

Wireless transceiver

It can contact through satellites to anywhere in the world. For transmission purpose, it depends on special burst-signal conversion via computers, so decoding is not easy even if tapped. A greatest of items in FOX HOUND, where information is regarded important over anything else.

Wireless-only income

Lightweight flexible income equipped with a high-ability microphone. It can concentrate sounds without vocal microphones, using a system which directly picks sounds from vibration of earbones.

Other than that, various sensors can be equipped as options.

*Formal name: Botulliococcus Ozuma Brownie

Commonly referred to as: OILIX

*By modifying gene of Botulliococcus Brownie the vegetable plankton, one of single-cell algae specimen, now it can produce large amount of liquid carbon hydrate of good quality, equivalent to raw mineral oil. Furthermore, by upgrading reproduction method, it can be produced in large scale under few cost. This is a bio-mass which you can expect as alternative energy to oil to satisfying degree.

*You can extract 0.8 kg of raw oil out of 1 kg of this algae.

From the raw oil you can get approximately 70% of gasoline and 25% of aviation fuel.

This gasoline contains high-level 96 octane value

*Reproduction

For each 1 hectare, 85 kg of oil can be acquired in one day.

Large-scale reproduction is possible.

*Reproduction Condition

If basic conditions "Warm, Dry and Long Sunlight Hour" are met, it can be reproduced even in provinces with few water supply.

Zanzibar Land is dry, hot and sunlight is abundant throughout the years, so it is most suited to reproduce OILIX.

*The Inventor, and Upgrader of Reproduction Technology

KIO MARV of Czechoslovakia

OILIX was represented in Praha World Energy Conference of 1999, and it was meant to receive interest from not only advanced but also developing countries as one of remedies for energy matters.

In developing countries in Africa or else, energy shortening is getting more serious than food problems.

This happened because wood cutting was regulated to protect ozone layer.

After its appearance into public, large oil companies from every nations were expected to show up for contracting rectifying process, and a subtle ray of hope might have shone onto energy crisis....

Origin of the Term

A compound from "OIL" and "MIX". Also, it was developed under the code name "OIL-X", so eventually it was called as oil-X, transliterated as OILIX.

*Energy crisis

As the background which produced "OILIX", an energy crisis plays a role. After two Oil Shocks, world concentrated over development of energies to take over oil, one of them nuclear.

Then late 1990s arrived, as alternatives, development of electric power plant based on solar, wave, oceanic water-temperature gap, and also nuclear high-speed reproductive engine and fusion plant went forward, decreasing the reliance to oil as a source of electricity, but reliance rate to oil as heat source for transportation vehicles still remains high.

From "Third Oil Shock" caused by oil scarcity of 1998, price of raw oil was raised largely, world economy went into dismay from much confusion, financial lowliness and inflation.

"Your mission is to sneak into Zanzibar Land alone, and retake Kio Marv, the Czech scientist.

This mission is divided into three parts in large. First stage is sneaking into enemy territory by skydiving with parachute. This will be done by nighttime HAHO jump.

Second stage is sneaking from dropped point to the enemy fortress. This will be done by free climbing from south cliff wall where security level is low.

Third stage is sneaking into enemy fortress, rescuing Dr. Marv and heading toward exit point.

This third stage is this game.

Following is the operation order sheet for F014. Please act according to this sheet.

I hope your good luck..."

By this month, enemy forces were greatly increased, and mercenaries from every nations seem to be entering the nation. From what we have collected out of infos from recon satellites and agents, both alert systems and patrols were reinforced and it is always under strict alert condition (Level 1). Moreover, import, in-purchase and preparation of arms and gunpowder are estimated to have increased too. Gunpowder alone has already surpassed the figure of last month's by 30%.

In operation periods, High air pressure will be dominant around the target area, so the visibility will be clear, giving no trouble on skydiving missions. Also the moon will be full so CAVO (Cloud-bottom Altitude, Visibility Over) will be achieved, night vision will be good. You will need no help from sensors, so diving onto drop zone with eye visions will be possible. Wind will be calm and Minovsky density will be stable. Stealth equipment will not be affected.

No our or friendly force is in the target area. However, there is a support from a deep cover agent. Holly White, a CIA agent, 168 cm high, blonde Caucasian. No photo source available. (See Appended Document 2)

Operation

First Stage Skytrooper Intrusion Operation Conduct the night-time HAHO (High Altitude High Opening parachute skydiving). Skydive behind the concentrated area along the national border, where enemy forces are concentrated. From the Afghanistan border, dive at the alt. 35,000 feet from a PC-130 helicopter, and sneak into Zanzibar Land domain. At the same time, on China border, a faint operation (an operation to detract enemies) will be done. Parachute will be radar-stealth. There is few chance it will be caught by enemy radar. WARNING) Cooling due to wind-speed may cause frostbite.

Second Stage South Wall Intrusion Operation Conduct a free-climbing intrusion up the south wall of Zanzibar Land. Move from the landing point to the south wall on foot. It will take 20 minutes approx. Under no-wind condition, whole process would take 30 minutes to reach the sneaking point into the fortress. CAUTION) On various parts of the south wall, sensors are set.

Third Stage (Game) After rescuing Marv, retreat and flee to the getaway point. Pickup by a helicopter, and leave.
