On October 3rd, 1993 information was gathered that their would be a secret meeting between Aidid and his top political advisers in a hotel located in the Bakqaara market. With the Americans growing frustrated with not capturing the general when they herd this information they were quick to react with a mission.
Their mission plan was for Special Forces to infiltrate the hotel by helicopter while marines covered the 4 sides of the building, making it so no one gets in or out. After Special Forces capture their targets they were to be extracted on flatbed trucks that were to be waiting for them out front. After the prisoners were loaded onto the trucks the Marines were to rally back to the trucks, load up and go as a convoy to the US command post. The US command post was the Mogadishu airport that the US took over. Mission time was to take no more then 30 minutes.
