Task force 141

John MacTavish was born in Scotland and was a lifelong football fan, often playing as a goalkeeper. MacTavish was once invited by his cousin, a member of the 23rd Special Air Service, to see what it was like to serve in the British Army. MacTavish would often visit his cousin on weekends thereafter. When he was 16, he tried several times to join the SAS and, although he lied about his age, he was caught each time. After his 18th birthday, MacTavish officially joined the selection process for 22nd Regiment, an elite squadron specialising in covert reconnaissance, counter-terrorism and hostage rescue. During a training session in Hereford in 2014, MacTavish's assessor was Captain John Price. Recognising his natural ability, exceptional skill and tireless dedication, Price became tough and strict with MacTavish to make him the best trainee. MacTavish was also trained as a sniper and demolitions expert. His astonishing speed and accuracy in room clearing and urban warfare earned him the nickname "Soap". When selection began, MacTavish passed with the highest possible scores in all three legs of the course, just seconds behind record holder Kyle "Soap" Garrick. He became the youngest candidate to pass selection for the SAS in the history of the British Army. For his first mission, Soap joined Bravo on a mission to the Bering Strait to retrieve a cargo manifest for a potential weapon of mass destruction. While Soap was retrieving the manifest, the vessel was sunk by Russian aircraft, forcing the team to abandon ship. Being the last one standing, Soap nearly fell to his death if Price had not pulled him to safety. Soap felt indebted to Price ever since. Following this mission, Soap continued to conduct covert and overt operations around the world. Soap later received the Gallantry Medal, Victoria Cross and Conspicuous Gallantry Cross after an operation in Urzikstan during which his patrol was attacked by Al-Qatala. After the heavy machine gun failed, Soap disassembled the weapon and reassembled it before firing 150 single shots, re-cocking the hammer for each shot. However, Soap claimed that any of his comrades would have done the same. In 2016, Soap narrowly escaped disciplinary action for punching a military police officer, knocking him unconscious and locking him in his own vehicle. No charges were brought to avoid embarrassment for the officer. Born in Manchester, Simon Riley joined the Special Air Service and spent the majority of his career performing numerous short-term assignments and undercover missions in classified locations. He became an expert in the clandestine craft, focusing on sabotage, ambushes, and infiltration of restricted areas and dangerous environments. Ghost hid his identity behind a signature skull mask to maintain anonymity in the field. At one point, Ghost served in the same unit as Mace. OTG-141 Following the death of General Roman Barkov, Ghost was recruited by Captain John Price into the newly formed Task Force 141, where he became its commander. Sergeant Kyle Garrick, also known as Gaz, is one of the three playable protagonists of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. In Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone, Gaz was released as a playable SAS Operator of the Coalition faction on June 23rd, 2020 during Season Four as part of the "Gaz Operator Bundle". In Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, he is also available as an Operator of the SpecGru faction, released on December 14th, 2022 as part of Season One Reloaded. Kyle Garrick enlisted in the British Army in 2008,[2][3] serving in the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, spending four years participating in test flights, jump competition and marksmanship before passing selection for Her Majesty's elite Special Air Service (SAS), where he is currently serving as a Sergeant for his ninth year. Tasked to Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Turkey, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. Garrick has spent the better part of his career hunting terrorist fighters. Kyle earned the U.S. Marine Corps Gold Parachute Wings at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina whilst on an exchange attachment and routinely cross-loads on operations with the SAS' American counterparts, the Navy SEALs. Required to undergo resistance to interrogation (RTI) testing, Kyle was the only candidate in his class to escape the facility and evade capture. Routinely subjected to physically and mentally uncomfortable scenarios, Kyle prides himself on high tolerance and tactical awareness. "Everyone talks about the physical aspect of being in the SAS but my job is mostly mental. Give me a guy who's got his mindset right over a guy who's twice as fit any day of the week."[2] Sergeant Garrick was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal and the General Service Medal for both covert and overt counter-terrorism operations in the Middle East, disrupting opium supply lines and poppy production, a major source of terrorist financing. Kyle's last Middle Eastern tour was cut short due to an ever-changing political climate and a growing intolerance for full-throated unconventional warfare. Fading support for western backed guerrilla movements as well as growing regional tension complicated matters in the field, as men like Kyle are asked to do an imperfect job, perfectly well, without exception, no matter the cost.[2] With expertise in prime target elimination, demolitions, weapons tactics, covert surveillance and VIP protection, Kyle currently serves on the SAS domestic counter-terror program, executing homefield missions with metropolitan police forces on European soil. Challenging duty, due to civilian and collateral damage issues, Kyle seeks the opportunity to serve abroad again, and make a real difference combating the threat of terror.[2] With the SAS notoriously shrouded in secrecy, Kyle explains— "We move in silence, do our job, and melt away. No publicity, no media. It takes stamina, willpower, guts and brains. Got those, we'll welcome you a try at being one of us. If you haven't got all that, then off with you..." Captain Jonathan[2][3] Price, simply known as John Price, is a main character in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and one of the playable characters of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. In Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone, Price was released as a playable SAS Operator of the Coalition faction as part of the Season Four Battle Pass. With the Season Three of content for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Price was released as a free NATO Operator in Black Ops Cold War as well as in Warzone where he is called Price '84. In Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, he is also available as an Operator of the SpecGru faction. Biography With his service in the 22nd S.A.S. Regiment, John Price has spent most of his career fighting in the shadows. He's been shot, captured, abandoned, blown up, locked up, tortured, and left for dead. Price is a veteran of military operations in nearly every conflict-prone corner of the world, distinguishing himself with acts of gallantry and intrepidity. His achievements have risen to the stuff of regimental history. Price joined the infantry at the age of 16 and has served in the British Army for 18 years. One of the youngest cadets to ever graduate the Royal Military Academy as a commissioned officer, he completed Special Service Commando selection and was 'badged' a member of the SAS, proving his worth on countless covert operations over multiple deployments in the Middle East. Promoted to Captain in 2011, callsign 'Bravo Six', Price is the officer in charge of a highly effective unit, tasked with anti–hijacking counter–terrorism, specializing in close quarter combat, sniper techniques and hostage rescue. He is unofficially missioned to capture or kill high-value targets.[4] Blessed with uncanny instincts and an unchecked determination, Captain Price is a peerless combat-tracker, known for excelling in a fluid and volatile environment. An elite seek-and-strike expert, Price is versed in a wide range of fieldcraft and tactical capability. From airborne shock-trooper to long-range reconnaissance operator, Captain Price is a covert, jungle, desert and urban operator, sniper and saboteur. With a knack for developing and maintaining links to foreign fighters across the globe by earning goodwill through trust, Captain Price works closely with Western Intelligence agencies assigned to aggressively pursue HVTs. His counter-terrorism squadron is on call to mobilize anywhere in Europe with immediate readiness.[4] Price believes that the duty of every soldier is to fight for the greater good— "The rules of engagement don't change, but their justification does." Price always fights for what's right but he knows what's right isn't always what you're fighting for. He's often said, "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." Sometimes unpredictable and unrestrained, John Price has a golden rule all his own: "We get dirty, and the world stays clean."[4] Although an officer, Captain Price has always preferred to keep the company of an enlisted warfighter. John often tells new recruits: "All it takes to change the course of history... is the will of a single man or woman." Not above a rogue move or an unholy alliance in the name of getting the job done, John has a deep but often strained relationship with the system.[4] Much like Sergeant Garrick, Price seems to hate being tied down by rules or procedures, and sometimes takes drastic actions on his own, often against orders.
