26 Special Ops

26 Special Ops operates as the U.S. military's specialized unit tasked with executing a high-risk raid to rescue three captured Marines held in a barracks 37 miles east of Bitanga. Admiral Fitzwallace briefs President Bartlet, Leo McGarry, and Nancy that the unit rehearses the Delta Force extraction in Ghana using Comanche RH-66 helicopters, projecting a 70% success rate despite execution risks from captors if broader forces mobilize. Bartlet authorizes the narrow operation, concentrating command responsibility amid the nine-hour ultimatum.
