#1 There is definitely a pattern here. If a sucessful operation yields one or more prisoners, then the intel gained gives birth to additional operations. Also, sucessful operations yield weapons and bomb making gear which is destroyed, and any brave enough to resist are 'engaged and killed' at the scene.
