The Caimanes gas station raid occurred in 2019 when a team of four American special forces operatives raided a gas station in rural Caimanes department, Bolivia during Operation Kingslayer.

After raiding one of the Santa Blanca Cartel's submarine bases in rural Caimanes, Major Anthony Perryman and his four-man Ghost Recon squad set about gathering intel on the trafficker Patricio Mendez Valle. Along the way, they detected a Santa Blanca lieutenant using a gas station as a hideout. When the Americans swooped in to capture him, however, the lieutenant escaped as his men kept the Americans pinned down. The Americans were able to kill the lieutenant's sicarios before photographing documents left behind at the gas station, salvaging some degree of operational success.
