Rescue of Paz and Chico

Rescue mission at Camp Omega

Ten days later, Miller relayed reports that Paz had survived her fight with Big Boss and was rescued by a fisherman when she lay adrift in the Caribbean. He later planned a rescue mission to retrieve Paz who was detained by Cipher on the Cuban prison facility Camp Omega under suspicions of her allegiance being compromised as she was the only viable link left for MSF to track down Cipher and find out their plans and also to find out "what she really thought of them."[56] Miller found out about Paz's capture from information supplied to them by Amanda. They initially planned to delay rescuing Paz until after the inspection, and had Chico moved to Cuba to distract him by having him meet his sister there.[57]However, Chico ended up disappearing from the ship he was assigned to. Miller initially thought and relayed to Amanda as much that Chico must have simply gotten lost in the city, but then realized to his horror after conversing with Big Boss that Chico must have snuck out of the ship while it was refueling at Santiago de Cuba, which was sixty miles away from the prison facility that Paz was imprisoned at, with it being a three day hike due to mountainous terrain. Miller then had the Intel unit dispatch at Cuba try to find him.[58]

They eventually learned that Chico was taken prisoner and received an SOS signal from him which also confirmed the location of Paz in the same facility, with the Intel unit also confirming Chico's account. Big Boss volunteered to take the mission to retrieve them, resulting in Miller holding down Mother Base for the inspection.[59] He briefed Big Boss on the details of the military base Chico and Paz were held at, and also stated that while Chico must survive and escape, Paz can be killed if no other option is left, as well as stating that it was impossible to escape the base on foot due to mines. Miller also briefly implied that he only wanted to save Chico to prevent him from talking as he knew too much about MSF, earning a rebuke from Big Boss.[60]Because of their current situation, they could only afford to send no more than one extraction chopper to Big Boss once he has gotten Chico and Paz, although both also noted that the one silver lining was that, because of the stormy weather near Cuba on the day of the mission persisting until sunrise, Big Boss can easily infiltrate the base due to the inclement weather acting as cover.[61]During the mission, in addition to hosting the UN inspection, Miller monitored the situation and gave advice to Big Boss when needed.[62]40 hours after Chico lost contact with the MSF on Camp Omega, Big Boss was dispatched to Chico and Paz's last known location: an old area of the facility, while he and the rest of MSF will deal with the nuclear inspections by the UN that were implied to have been sent by Cipher due to Paz's earlier leaks about their possessing a nuclear weapons program.[63] Miller alongside the other MSF members ended up informing Amanda about Chico's current status, with Amanda telling him that, as Chico was her younger brother, she'd know if Chico was lying, and with that said, she was "ready for the worst." He also expressed some disturbance about Amanda apparently being elated about her "readiness."[64]
