Originally named Operation Hornbill, the goal of "Rimau" was to sink Japanese shipping by placing limpet mines on ships.

Max is officially accepted into the Z-Force. The Z-Force sent a holographic letter to all the Z-Force hopefuls that the day after is the Z-Force Championships and Commander Dirk Trumbo advises them that they get the day off since its the day before the championships. All boats were swamped and some items of equipment lost, but they made it ashore and harboured up until morning.

They would then use folding kayaks to attach limpet mines to Japanese ships.

Mott was able to arrange Carey's release, but only on the condition that he left Z Special Unit. The commandos would be dropped 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) off Rabaul. [34], On operations the Snake-class vessels operated in tandem with a mother-ship.

So, Max made a fake Z-Force communication beam, saying that he is chosen for the same slot too.

Another training school was the Special Boat Section at Careening Bay Camp, on Garden Island, Western Australia.

[24] The information he returned with proved vital to keeping the guns out of action and in preventing the Japanese from using the island as a launching point for attacks against the Australian forces during the Wewak landings a month later.

According to President Kickbutt, the Z-Force is fighting a giant, radioactive worm in the center of the Earth. [2] The best known of these missions were Operation Jaywick and Operation Rimau, both of which involved raids on Japanese shipping in Singapore Harbour; the latter of which resulted in the deaths of 23 commandos either in action or by execution after capture. Few details of these operations have been officially released, although details have emerged from the personal accounts of some Z Special Unit personnel.

President Kickbutt withdraws the twins' names for consideration for messing up and the Thundermans are banished from Hiddenville. While Cherry distracted D-Tail by having him take a selfie of stopping the reactors, the real Phoebe helps to get them back to stable conditions.
