Smuggling objective might sound like an illegal operation, and some of them are. But some of them pertain to military operation and even humanitarian operations. Whatever the purpose of the mission they all hinges on one thing, the successful import of the item without being caught, and the items subsequent distribution.

Personnel: Smuggling personnel can mean many things to many people. Criminal sometimes smuggle immigrants into countries to be used as sweatshop laborers. Other times they smuggle people into a country to protect them from other people in other countries. Military personnel sometimes smuggle operatives into an area or witness out of an enemy held camp. The key to the success of this mission is to operate as quickly, quietly and covertly as possible.

Drugs (Legal/Illegal): Smuggling illegal drugs has proven to be a multi-billion dollar a year industry, however the smuggling of legal drugs is not nearly as well known. Your mission could be to bring in much needed medicine into an enemy held area. For whatever reasons enemy forces control the medicine and many people are suffering because of it. Your job is to ease their suffering by bringing them the medicine they need. On the flip side of the legal coin perhaps you are a professional smuggler being contracted to smuggle contraband drugs into or out of a country.

Supplies: You have been order to smuggle supplies into a controlled area. You may be bringing relief supplies to an allied unit trapped inside enemy territory. Or you could be brining supplies to a poverty stricken community under the heal of a local crime lord or dictator. Whatever the circumstances you must bring in the needed supplies without detection, if you are found out the person responsible will tighten their hold and crush those you seek to help.

Explosives: You must smuggle explosives and demolition charges into a sensitive area. The ultimate purpose of the explosives is someone else’s problem. Yours is determining the best type of explosive needed, procuring it, and then finding a way to get it to its destination. Your job could be as simple as locating and smuggling dynamite, or a little more challenging, plastic explosive. Perhaps the security is tight and you will have to smuggle in binary explosive compounds meaning that you will have to make multiple incursions, and not be caught.

Equipment: You receive a radio distress signal from an allied unit. They are caught behind enemy lines and their machines have taken heavy damage. The only way they are going to make it out is if they get replacement parts and get their machines working again. You job is to get the part they need, and then get them to the unit. Depending on their location you could have to portage a jungle, parachute behind enemy lines, sneak into an enemy held city through storm sewers or make a beachhead landing on enemy terrain. The successful completion of the mission will be delivering the equipment to those who need it and getting out alive.

Information: While operating covertly in enemy territory another spy possess you sensitive documents before he or she is killed. It is your mission to get the documents out of the area and back to your own people for interpretation. The information passed could be as small as microdots or as large as computer disks, or even bigger. You must evade capture yourself; especially once they determine that the other spy does not have the information on him. You will have to brave checkpoints and searches as you try to escape with the information. In terms of game settings this scenario could take place in a corporate setting, military campaign or country settings.
