Synopsis:
Near the North Pole, a U.S. Army unit finds an American research station nearly destroyed after a "commando-style" raid. The colonel calls generals Flagg and Austin. A Russian research station is nearby, but the generals are afraid to send a recon mission to check out the Russian base. Instead, they choose four Joes into the area. Stalker, Breaker, Scarlett and Snake-Eyes have their leave interrupted.
Flagg flies with the Joes to the North Pole to brief them. They parachute in to watch the Russian base from a hidden camp. An eskimo arrives on a dogsled with a machine gun. He walks inside the base, then returns a few minutes later and leaves the base. The Joes find the base is full of dead Russians -- frozen to death -- and records are missing, as is a key component to a ultra low-frequency modulator that affects human brain waves. Snake-Eyes discovers a bomb and the Joes escape just before it explodes. The joes take off after the eskimo until Breaker receives a "teleprinter" print-out. The file identifies the eskimo as Kwinn: a mercenary who is extremely honest, but will reveal nothing about his employers.
