Marshall (Modern Warfare 2)

"Keep hitting 'em with the Two Forty Bravos! Get more men moving on the left flank!"

- Marshall in "Whiskey Hotel"

Colonel Marshall is an officer and field commander in the United States Army, as portrayed in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

He presumably commanded U.S. forces during the defense of Washington D.C.. After the EMP, he gathered some of the stranded U.S. soldiers to assault Whiskey Hotel to prevent friendly airstrikes. He is first mentioned by Pvt. Vaughan in "Second Sun", while informing Sgt. Foley's squad about the new objective: take back the White House. He is then seen in the level "Whiskey Hotel" when Foley's squad emerges from the President's bunker, providing them with new orders and observing the battle from afar. He presumably survives the battle, as they are successful in retaking Washington D.C.

Additionally, he is one of a very select few characters whose rank is not shortened, being displayed as "Colonel", not "Col.". Only General Shepherd, Captain Price, and Captain MacTavish are others seen with that trait.

Trivia

 * He looks quite young to be a Colonel. This is probably because IW didn't want to spend too much time making a character model for a rather insignificant character.
 * When he peers through his binoculars, he is completely still, this is most likely an animation glitch.
 * Marshall will disappear after the player reaches the west wing.
 * Marshall can be seen with a weapon; if the player goes to his right side, they will be able to see an M9 and a random U.S. Army weapon.
 * Marshall uses one of the Rangers' multiplayer character models.
 * He is the only colonel in MW2.
