On the island, Cobra has gained control of all of the military bases and the nuclear weapon silos. The generals are weighting the idea of using the option of bombing the island. Hawk makes the suggests that the Joe team be given the opportunity of sneaking onto the island to deactivate the silos which then allows the generals to use conventional measures to take back the island. The generals agree but put a time limit on the attack, if the Joes haven't accomplished their mission but launch time the entire island and everyone on it will destroyed.
