A special operations source elaborated, telling The High Side that a local source network helped enable the operation. That network helped install jammers and other technical equipment on the ground, including beacons for airstrikes. The operational preparation of the battlespace was conducted by Task Force Orange, which throughout its history has been known by a host of cover names, including the U.S. Army Office of Military Support, Titan Zeus and the Intelligence Support Activity. In Venezuela it was operating under the Authorization for the Use of Military Force, according to an official familiar with the operation.
