 * Jack Mitchell's left arm is severed by a piece of shrapnel from the same explosion.

July 24th

 * A funeral service is held for Will Irons in Arlington, Virginia, where his father, Jonathan, proposes to Mitchell about joining Atlas Corporation. Mitchell eventually agrees.

After July 24th

 * In Camp David, Maryland, Atlas operatives Mitchell, Gideon, and Joker run through a simulated hostage rescue, which fails due to Mitchell's malfunctioning prosthetic arm. The trio then successfully complete the simulation after the former's arm is repaired and stress-tested through a series of training exercises.

March 7th

 * Atlas operatives Mitchell, Gideon, and Joker assist Nigerian forces in rescuing the Nigerian Prime Minister and capturing a KVA technologist.

April 28th

 * Atlas operatives Mitchell, Gideon, Joker, and Carter are sent to Seattle, Washington to prevent the KVA from overloading the Vekron Pacific Reactor. The mission fails and Carter is killed.
 * The KVA successfully detonate several nuclear reactors worldwide, releasing large amounts of radiation across the major cities of the world and resulting in the deaths of over 50,000 civilians.

August 5th

 * Atlas operatives Mitchell, Gideon, Joker, and Torres enter the abandoned sections of Detroit in order to capture KVA member Dr. Pierre Danois. They succeed with covert assistance from Sentinel member Knox.

September 13th

 * Atlas operatives Mitchell, Ilona, Gideon, Torres, Rivers, and several other Atlas operatives deploy to Santorini, Greece to capture KVA leader Hades. Several Atlas employees, including Torres and Rivers, are killed, but Hades is killed by Mitchell.

November 9th

 * Ilona shows Mitchell and Gideon a video file obtained from Hades, revealing Jonathan Irons's foreknowledge of the nuclear attacks four years earlier.
 * Mitchell and Ilona choose to defect from Atlas, leading to a large firefight through New Baghdad, Iraq before they are rescued by Sentinel forces.

January 3rd

 * Now members of Sentinel, Mitchell and Ilona infiltrate Irons' mansion in Bangkok, Thailand alongside Cormack and Knox.
 * They discover Dr. Danois, now under the alias "Bellamy," is working with Irons to produce something called "Manticore" and plant a tracking device on a plane transporting samples of it.
 * Sentinel intercepts and lands the plane on the Darwin Glacier in Antarctica, but a fierce firefight with Atlas reinforcements decimates the Sentinel forces. Nevertheless, the defection of Atlas agent Gideon to Sentinel allows them to acquire a sample of Manticore.

April 4th

 * Sentinel operatives Mitchell, Cormack, Gideon, and Knox infiltrate and destroy a former lumber mill in Bulgaria being used by Atlas to manufacture Manticore.

June 15th

 * Jonathan Irons accepts his new seat as the first CEO of a private corporation to be admitted to the United Nations Security Council, only to announce the existence of Manticore. Irons effectively declares war on the governments of the world, claiming that governments and politicians have done nothing to solve the world's problems. In particular, Irons personally targets the United States, stating that their failed attempts at installing democracy across the world for the last century have only led to more conflicts, rather than resolution.
 * Sentinel members Mitchell and Gideon engage enemy Atlas personnel on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California in pursuit of a target van believed to pose a direct threat to the nearby U.S. Navy's Third Fleet.
 * Although secured by Sentinel forces, the van is revealed to contain several drones that affix to the cables and self-destruct, causing the Golden Gate Bridge to collapse onto one of the ships.
 * Mitchell, Gideon, Cormack, and Knox successfully prevent Atlas from destroying the U.S. Third Fleet.

January 8th

 * Following the assault on San Francisco, Irons and Atlas finds themselves in a state of war with virtually every single nation in the world.
 * Sentinel members Mitchell, Ilona, Cormack, Gideon, and Knox, along with the U.S. 37th Airborne, assault the Atlas headquarters and the city of New Baghdad in an attempt to capture Irons.
 * The attack fails, as Atlas deploys spores of Manticore on the battlefield, immediately killing anyone whose DNA is not programmed into the Atlas database. Knox is one such casualty; however, Mitchell, Ilona, and Gideon are spared from the effects as they were previously Atlas operatives. Cormack is also spared as he and his squad were outside the radius of ground zero.
 * Mitchell, Ilona, Cormack, and Gideon are taken prisoner and sent to a former research lab-turned prison camp. Cormack is fatally wounded by Irons, who also destroys Mitchell's prosthetic arm. The four eventually escape from the camp, with Cormack dying shortly afterwards.
 * After their escape from the prison camp, Mitchell and Gideon, coordinated by Ilona, secure two A.S.T. exos and assault the Atlas Command Center in New Baghdad to halt the launch of Manticore against the United States and the world.
 * Mitchell and Gideon successfully stop the Manticore launch and shift focus to capturing Jonathan Irons. However, Irons remotely disables Mitchell and Gideon's exos and flees.
 * Mitchell is able to manually detach himself from his exo and chase down after Irons before tackling him over the edge of Atlas HQ. Mitchell then severs his prosthetic arm, thereby dropping Irons to his death in the process.
