Two days after their arrival in Genovia, Reese and her allies prepared for a training exercise involving Simunition cartridges, which meant they had to wear ballistic glasses and protective balaclavas in addition to their uniforms, as well as use paintball-modified M4A1 carbines and handguns. All this in the heat of the summer. It was like Reese was playing Operation Harsh Doorstop or Squad. But this time, it wasn't on a computer, but for real. Except they didn't use real bullets, but paint bullets instead. And the villains would be played by Genovian Army's OpFor company, who were tasked with guarding a high-value target that the US Marines and British Royal Marines were to destroy. All this against overwhelming odds. But the Brits and Americans would play by commando rules, not Genovian Opfor ones.

Indeed, Reese, her fellow US Marines and the British Royal Marine Commandos sneaked to their target through the drainage sewers instead of going for the streets. Thanks to their GPS map, the British-American force arrived within earshot of their target, which was an abandonned warehouse acting as the enemy headquarters. Their goal was to decapitate the enemy force to disorganize them and spread confusion among their ranks so that the main amphibious force could have an easier landing on the beach. Of course, the enemy knows this as well and has organized their defensive positions around their headquarters accordingly.

Suddenly, Reese emerged into an old drain stopper a few meters from their target and lost no time in painting the two Opfor troopers standing guard at the back entrance of the headquarters before she and some of her allies ran towards this entrance while the others ran to the main entrance of the warehouse. As Reese and her fellow military personel were running to the safety exit, they came across another group of Opfor soldiers and quickly dispatched them with a hail of paintballs. After arriving at the entrance, Reese's headset began calling.

"Blue Team, this is Yellow Team. Ready to go." the leader of Yellow Team announced.

The leader of Blue Team, Reese's team, said, "Okay. Go dark, breach, flashbang and clear. Out."

With that, Reese took and prepared one of her stun grenades while one of the British Royal Marines took his Mossberg 590 shotgun and shot the door hinges. That guy then rear-kicked the door open before Reese tossed her stun grenade inside before taking cover as did two members of Yellow Team. Just as the stun grenades went off, Blue Team and Yellow Team entered simultaneously and quickly eliminated the Opfor inside the room before these guys could fire their M16A2s and G3A4s. Suddenly, Reese saw two more Opfors and took them out by paiting them repeatedly. Reese then slowly but surely secured the room alongside the other raiders before breaching the next room professionally and finally eliminated the final enemies.

All of the sudden, a Genovian officer named Dani blew a whistle, signaling the end of the exercise. Reese and the other participants removed their protective equipment and let a sigh of relief, since they couldn't stand the extreme heat of summer in the Mediterranean. Reese and the others then drank water before walking back to the old garden, where they had set an improvised camp for the duration of exercise Maritime Endeavor.

Meanwhile, Valentina and the other boy & girl scouts had arrived at Mia Thermopolis' place, where Mia Thermopolis herself, alongside Nick Devereaux and Mia's chief of security Cyrus welcomed them all with a brilliant speech wishing them a good jamboree and congratulating them for their devotion to scouting. Just as Valentina and her fellow scouts applauded, Reese and her fellow military personel, all wearing camouflage combat uniforms, appeared from nowhere and sat on benches, relaxing after a long hike under the scorching sun.

A British Royal Marine then asked, "So who had a Ray-gun?"

A US Marine then said, "Not Ray-gun, fuck tard. Reagan. Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States?"

Another Royal Marine replied, "Whatever, guys."

Reese then began, "So, Reagan had to deal with the same fuck back in the '80s. But back then, those fucking whinny Afghans went crying to the Russians for help, which pisses off Reagan so much his boys whip up Operation Cyclone and use the CIA to arm and train the Mujahadeens. One of these CIA-trained fucking bastard SOBs who kick the Russian's red ass out of Afghanistan ends up being Osama Bin-Ladin."

Another US Marine answered, "No shit!"

Reese continued, "True story. So the Muj kick the Russians' fucking red ass across the sand, the entire Russian economy collapses and adio USSR! Now America and her alllies have no more baddies to fight. Except in the meantime, Osama and his now well-armed AQ bros start screwing up with everybody. Egypt, Palestine, Algeria. Fuck he's blowing up half of the Middle East trying to create a Muslim empire. But here's the thing: the Muslims themselves don't want it. For whatever reason. So he deems them all 'viable targets'."

A US Marine private asked, "So he started blowing up his own people. He's fucked up!"

Reese then said as the others laughed, "That's why he's a terrorist, douchebag. So Bush Senior becomes President 41, and before we know it, he's fucking balls deep in Kuwait fighting Saddam for the Saudis. That pisses Osama off so much he starts mouthin' off 'bout the Arabs. So every Arab country banish his ass. And so, 'til his assassination in 2011 by SEAL Team 6, the dude's like 'Screw this noise' and calls for war on the West and his allies. So Fatwa on America, France, the UK, Israel, Egypt and so on. Afterwards 9-11. Afghanistan, Iraq, two wars supposed to kick their ass, but Osama's fans turn the Sahel region and Syria into a base, so President 44, Barack Obama, has to kick their ass. And just to tell you, we're now in this country called Genovia before departing to some butthole fighting these fuckers sponsored by Russia or China."

A Royal Marine said, "Speaking of which, these guys have trouble with Ukraine and Taiwan. The Ukrainians and Taiwanese cope so well Putin, Xi and their henchmen ridicule themselves trying to invade them. So they withdrew without glory and with diminished armies and lickboots as generals."

Everyone then cheered before the boy & girl scouts, including Valentina shook their head while Cyrus, Mia Thermopolis as well as the audience were shocked at how vulgar Reese and the others were. They indeed didn't curse as much as Reese and her fellow service members did. But little did they know the exercise would last for some more days before ending.
