Border Station Charlie (Nelson's Death)

Border Station Charlie or Checkpoint Charlie is an international border station located on the American-Colombian border and controls the only legal entrance into the United States from Colombia via Intercontinental 1. Border Station Charlies was constructed in 1987 after the increase in drug and human trafficking, which eventually spread across the Colombian border into the United States. Border Station Charlie earned its nickname "Checkpoint Charlie" due to the large garrison of personnel - mainly law enforcement officers - and the armament posseded by the law officers. Machine guns, fully automatic assault rifles, grenade launchers, and an attack helicopter is a common sight at Checkpoint Charlie.
