An interesting example of Nod tactical genius, Operation Stiletto was conducted in southern Italy during the closing stages of the Third Tiberium War in order to disrupt GDI and Scrin operations in the area. Nod involvement began when a small strike force, composed of a Commando, several Shadow Teams and Saboteurs was deployed into the area. The force entered the combat zone unharmed (as GDI command ordered a temporary cease fire to ascertain their motives).
