Something very much like the above happens in the American Southwest after the outbreak of the Second Mexican Civil War and before the Constitutionales and Milgov agree to a formal ceasefire. Marauders are a problem in northern Sonora and southern Arizona in Autumn 2000. Nogales Brigade, which has joined the Constitutionales along with the rest of Second Mexican Army, contributes a battalion task force to a multinational anti-marauder mission. SAMAD contributes a battalion task force as well. The prize money, so to speak, gets split right down the middle.
