3. Current Threat

The D.R.C. is a lawless
land unable to capitalize
on its huge store of
valuable natural resources
– Years of conflict have left
the D.R.C. in economic
turmoil and incapable of
assembling the resources
necessary to control its
borders or the multiple
factions inside the country

Strapped for the cash
needed to deal with their
enemies, D.R.C. has
shown a willingness to
deal with rouge nations
& terrorist organizations
D.R.C. has been the
object of terror states
and organizations to
obtain nuclear materials
for “dirty bombs” and
fissionable material to
generate WMD

14. Summary of the NSC Situation Brief

Cumulative CIA evidence suggests Al Qaeda
is working directly with Gecamines and the
D.R.C. government to acquire yellow-cake
from the Katanga mine region
– The shipment will depart the mine region in three
weeks
Exact location of the yellow-cake is unknown
– How the yellow-cake will be shipped is tentative
Possibly buried in a shipment of Cobalt already
scheduled for export
– The destination of the yellow-cake is unknown
An Al Qaeda cell in Zanzibar is involved

XYZ 6/3/2018

15. Summary of the NSC Situation Brief (2)

CIA proposes a black operation to:
– Find the yellow-cake prior to shipment
– Track the shipment to its final destination
– Identify and maintain surveillance on the
members of the Al Qaeda network and the
D.R.C. government linked with the smuggling
operation
– At the designated time, pick-up the Al Qaeda
operatives and responsible D.R.C. government
officials, and
– Seize the yellow-cake

CIA proposes SOCOM lead operation with
CIA operatives providing additional in-country
support
MIT Lincoln Laboratory

16. Summary of the NSC Situation Brief (3)

The President agreed with the CIA proposal
and made the following decisions:
– The operation will be covert
– Diplomatic coordination will be made only with the
host nation(s) needed to help position and provide
support to our assets on the ground
Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Uganda were the only African
nations that publicly endorsed the U.S. war against Iraq
and may be willing to support a black operation
Tanzania and Kenya should be considered as allies as
they have stymied other yellow-cake shipments, and are
struggling with Muslim extremists in their countries
Zambia, pinched between Angola and Zimbabwe who have
lent military forces to defend D.R.C., can not be seen by
their neighbors as openly working against D.R.C.
999999-16
XYZ 6/3/2018
MIT Lincoln Laboratory

17. Summary of the NSC Situation Brief (4)

The President’s decisions continued:
– SOCOM will assume operational command of all
forces used for this operation…“Operation Cakewalk”
– CENTCOM, EUCOM, USCINCPAC, USSTRATCOM,
and USTRANSCOM will be supporting commands
– In addition, the President has directed simultaneous
contingency planning for an assault on the Kinshasa
Nuclear Research reactor
The objective is to determine the operational feasibility and
identify the resources required to seize and transport the
HEU fuel rods out of D.R.C. where the fissionable material
can be controlled
The planning effort is named “Operation Hot Rod” and maybe
executed in conjunction with seizing Al Qaeda and D.R.C.
operatives under Operation Cakewalk
999999-17

18. National Objectives

The President’s stated the following national
objectives for Operation Cakewalk:
– Ensure nation states and terror organizations
located in Central and East Africa are unable to
threaten the U.S. or our allies with weapons of
mass destruction
Stop the on-going, illicit trafficking of nuclear materials
materials within D.R.C.
Improve the safety of the U.S., our allies, and the world
by securing the fissionable materials in D.R.C.
Improve the stability of Central and East African nations
by removing terrorist organizations and subversive
government agents bent on obtaining and using
weapons of mass destruction
999999-18

19. CINC Objectives

Find, track, and stop D.R.C. shipment(s) of nuclear
materials (yellow-cake )
Identify the terrorist and nation state network illicitly
trafficking nuclear materials from D.R.C.
Capture or otherwise neutralize this trafficking
network
– Includes D.R.C. Government officials involved in
supplying and providing cover for the trafficking of
nuclear material
– Includes middle men and members of terrorists
organizations that support the trafficking of nuclear
materials and the development of WMD
