Typical SpecOp mission, the US was targetitng the C&C structure in the Army Base and the AD in the Airbase defending the area
Then you flew in 160 SOAR guys and did a Tier 1 pick up, probably with Gunship support.
The issue here is that not much you can do with Maduro, even if you capture him, he probably had a second in command in line, and he will just take over, unless there are already enough forces on the ground to force a coup, I just don't see this happening. Maybe the US tried to drop a rock in the ocean and see how deep it was, and hope someone steps up? I don't know.
