The four men trailing Ryan are an elite squad of soldiers, they were given as the following; Each of the missions was devised by Chris Plyming, a retired captain of the Parachute Regiment.
Ryan used his only successful booby trap (a smoke grenade on a tripwire in front of the cache which the hunter force missed and set off).
As in the first mission, Ryan made his escape with seconds to spare after two members of the hunter force arrive on Ski-doos as his helicopter takes off.
In the final mission, the Hunter Force gathered extra help from a unit of a local militia, as well as numerous vehicles including jeeps, quad bikes, boats and a helicopter.
Ryan also stole a horse from a rancher during night fall to get ahead of the Hunter Force, a piece of information they may not have understood or even received without the militia present.
