The soldiers of Militaires Sans Frontieres or '''"MSF"''' are training on the beach, practicing the art of '''Close Quarters Combat''' developed by Big Boss himself. It is here that you can join your men in this training session which operates as an introduction to the game's basic mechanics. A drill instructor will introduce a mechanic, tell you and the men how to do it, and then ask you to demonstrate it for your men.

The orange line represents the path you should take to reach your objective. It is simple now, but routes will become more complex as you get later into the game. The numbered dots represent places where you should stop, pause, and consult the walkthrough for further guidance. The numbers on the map correspond with numbered paragraphs on the walkthrough page. The yellow dots represent item pickups. Pickups labeled '''"bullets"''' will yield a somewhat randomized ammunition that usually corresponds to the weapons you are currently carrying.
For now, just follow the path from west to east. Rather than "left" or "right" to describe directions, this walkthrough will use cardinal directions; left and right are relative, but north is always going to be north.

You can accustom yourself to the game's gunplay at one of these scarecrows. To fire your currently-equipped '''★1 M16A1''', press and hold {{control|{{psp|l1}}|{{psx|l1}}|{{xbox|LT}}}} to aim and press {{control|{{psp|r1}}|{{psx|r1}}|{{xbox|RT}}}} to squeeze a round off. Shooting the helmets off of the scarecrows will add Weapon Experience to whatever weapon you use to shoot it. You can restock your ammo at the respawning '''Ammo Pickup''' just north of your position. However, if you practice with your Mk.22, your '''Suppressor''' will run out and will not be replenished during this mission.

To move to the next area, you will have to destroy the obstacle in front of you: the chain-link fence. You are equipped with '''★1 Grenades''' for this purpose, though Grenades will not be used often in this walkthrough. First, you must equip the grenade by holding down {{control|{{psp|right|dpad}}|{{psx|l2}}|{{xbox|LB}}}} to open the '''Weapon Menu.''' Next, you must highlight the ★1 Grenade on the Weapon Menu by pressing {{control|{{psp|s}} or {{psp|c}}|{{psx|neutral|dpad}}|{{xbox|neutral|dpad}}}} and then release {{control|{{psp|right|dpad}}|{{psx|l2}}|{{xbox|LB}}}} to close the Weapon Menu and equip the Grenades.

There's also no reason to interact with any of the enemy soldiers; the best path avoids them altogether. Simply move north and turn east before you move into the northern alcove with the '''Grenades'''. Keep moving east until you reach a small ledge after a fallen log.

Tilt {{control|the '''Analog Stick''' |{{psx|neutral|lstick}}|{{xbox|neutral|lstick}}}} in the direction of the elevated terrain and you will climb it.
Tap {{control|{{psx|R1}}|{{psx|X}}|{{xbox|A}}}} to '''roll up the ledge''' or just run against it to make Snake climb it automatically. Often, the game will register your tap as a press, so you'll get better results out of '''double-tapping'''  {{control|{{psx|R1}}|{{psx|X}}|{{xbox|A}}}}.


Keep moving east until you reach a small series of ledges and turn north.  As you approach a fallen log with '''Soldier C''' nearby, gently turn northeast to reach the next area.

The supply facility from where Paz escaped is here. Security is tighter than in the Jungle; there are three enemy soldiers patrolling the staging area and a fourth up the stairs of the admin building to the east edge of Puerto del Alba. To avoid detection, you'll need to stop and watch enemy patrols for the coast to be clear before moving forward.  Move past the fence and turn north to start.

Consult your map. You'll want to keep the camera pointed to the east as you go past the gate and turn north to the first set of containers. There, move to the northeast corner of the container.

{{sidebar|title=Item Pickups|contents=Along the north wall is an item pickup that will add a '''Love Box''' to your inventory. Players familiar with the ''Metal Gear'' franchise are likely accustomed to procuring their gear on-site. This isn't the case in ''Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.'' MSF will provide all the weapons and equipment you will need for your mission in Costa Rica. They will also produce replacements to items with limited use and ammo automatically between missions. Thus, you shouldn't go out of your way to get the Love Box or any item pickup because when you complete a mission, you will already have them.}}

Round the corner and move east in a straight shot to the east-most container. Try to follow the yellow line on the ground. The staircase up to the admin building should be straight ahead. Soldier E should be out of earshot as you move.

At this point, press yourself against the corner with {{control|{{psx|up|dpad}}|{{psx|T}}|{{xbox|Y}}}} and observe '''Soldier G''' up on the patio of the admin building. Watch him until he passes the '''bottom part of the staircase'''. One he does, you can get off the wall and move up the stairs, turn north and move straight to your goal.
