‘Operation Athens’ is in the works for 2023. In preparation for this mission the question must be begged: Why go to Greece? Certainly, the deployed ECPC operatives will exercise their unique abilities, special skills, and general helpfulness in Athens. However, the primary purposes of the mission are as follows: 1.
