Infiltration of the Capitol

The infiltration of the Capitol refers to the rescue mission staged by District 13 to liberate Peeta Mellark, Johanna Mason, and Annie Cresta, the remaining victors, from their prison in the Capitol's Tribute Center. In return for a warning Mellark gave them, President Alma Coin dispatched an elite special forces team, which included Gale Hawthorne, to rescue the remaining Victors from captivity. The infiltration was successful and the Tributes were rescued. Unfortunately, Mellark had been hijacked by aversion therapy and trackerjacker venom, so the Capitol allowed the rescue team to escape.
