Storyline
Soviet forces attack Alaska's pipeline during a US grain embargo in 1987. Col. Caffey's Guard unit faces them at a pump station as Soviet and US leaders engage in strategic tension, risking WWIII.
In 1987, Soviet paratroopers drop into Alaska to sabotage the oil pipeline in retaliation against a United States grain embargo. A skirmish occurs at a pumping station, lightly defended by Col. Jake Caffey and a National Guard recon unit. A stalemate ensues while the possibility of World War III hangs in the balance. The danger escalates as the Soviet premier and the U.S. President play a cat-and-mouse game.
