	Lieutenant General Shepherd was an officer in the United States Army in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2</a> who commanded both Task Force 141</a> and Shadow Company</a>. He starts out as a supporting character for the player, only to reveal himself as the main antagonist in Modern Warfare 2. <p data-rte-fromparser="true">

== 	Biography == <p data-rte-fromparser="true">

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, General Shepard can always be seen wearing a black Lieutenant General(3 Star Flash) "Inspection ready" beret. For an outfit, he can be seen wearing a digital camouflage military suit, and on the chest area, on the right he has a name-tag sewed on that reads "SHEPARD" and on the left one stitched on says "U.S. ARMY". and on the shoulders he wears the JFK special warfare school insignia. Along with that, he wears grey combat boots. Shepard always carries a leather pouch slung over his left shoulder to hold his .44 caliber shells for his Magnum revolver. On his face he has a gray mustache with a gray military buzzcut on his head, indicating his age is somewhere between 50-65. <p data-rte-fromparser="true">

<h3 data-rte-empty-lines-before="2">	Second Russian Civil war <p data-rte-fromparser="true">

General Shepherd served as the supreme commander of the U.S. forces in the Middle East during the course of the Second Russian Civil War</a> (see Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare</a>), including the Marine Force Recon</a> units killed when Al-Asad</a> detonated a nuclear weapon</a> in the capital city of an unnamed Middle Eastern country. <p data-rte-fromparser="true">

<h3 data-rte-spaces-after="1" data-rte-empty-lines-before="2">	Between 2011 and 2016 <p data-rte-fromparser="true">

Losing the 30,000 troops under his command affected the General greatly and Shepherd developed a negative view of the world and international politics. In the time following his invasion of the Persian Gulf, Shepherd sought new ways of restoring the United States' reputation as a global power as well as its military might (and his own reputation as a military commander). He soon came up with his solution, start a war between America and Russia with all the United States' army power destroying the country. <p data-rte-fromparser="true">

<h3 data-rte-empty-lines-before="2">	2016 <p data-rte-fromparser="true">

In 2016, General Shepherd focuses his efforts on the occupation of Afghanistan and seemingly, the hunt for international terrorist Vladimir Makarov</a>. Shepherd felt that no justice had been sought for the men and women he had lost 5 years prior and that the military's power had worn over the years. These feelings would eventually drive him to carry out his goal of escalating a second Cold War between Ultranationalist Russia and the United States. To increase the power and standing of the military, Shepherd needed an enemy, something to rally the entire nation behind him. After hearing of his many terrorists attacks throughout Europe, Shepherd believed Russian Ultranationalist</a> Vladimir Makarov</a> could indirectly help bring about his desired changes. Shepherd developed "Task Force 141</a>", an international coalition of counter-terrorism operators, created under the pretense of stopping Makarov</a>. Shepherd hand-picked Joseph Allen</a> to go undercover within Makarov's terrorist group during their attack on Zakhaev International Airport</a>. <p data-rte-fromparser="true">

<h3 data-rte-empty-lines-before="2">	Russo-American War <p data-rte-fromparser="true">

Allen's body was left at the scene and he (along with Makarov) was implicated in the attack, all according to Shepherd's plan. Most importantly, the only individuals who knew of the operation were the men serving in Task Force 141 and Makarov's terrorist cell. The Russian government retaliated and the United States</a> was <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22invaded%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Russian-American%20War%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BRussian-American%20War%7Cinvaded%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="3125-4847303694e0ea9d8f086e" href="/wiki/Russian-American_War" title="Russian-American War" class="mw-redirect">invaded</a>, and as a result, Shepherd was named supreme commander of all US military forces by the Secretary of Defense for his insight into the threat Russia and Makarov posed, just as he had planned. Shepherd had gotten his war, now he just needed the enemy intelligence. With the full power of the 3.5 million soldiers (as of 2016) of the United States Armed Forces at his fingertips, Shepherd was in a perfect position to bring about his ultimate goals: to make the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22United%20States%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22United%20States%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BUnited%20States%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="3125-4847303694e0ea9d8f086e" href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States" class="mw-redirect">United States</a> the mightiest power on the planet, and style himself as the hero who made it so by eventually bringing Ultranationalist Russia to its knees.
