A bold nighttime raid in Caracas executed by Delta Force and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment with an air package overhead totaling more than 150 aircraft captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores last night. The mission, called Operation Absolute Resolve, was not a typical JSOC capture/kill raid but rather was designed to serve an arrest warrant based on a Department of Justice indictment against Maduro and his regime. In this sense, the Delta operators were escorts to federal law enforcement officers.
The preparation for Absolute Resolve took months, involving mission rehearsals held in the area of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and involved a robust inter-agency process conducted in coordination with the CIA, the National Security Agency the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a press conference today alongside President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
