 * Diego Almagro (K.I.A.)

Plot
Two years prior to the ODIN strike on the United States, POTUS approved of a surprise attack on the Federation capital of Caracas, Venezuela. US Soldiers and Marines distract Federation troops while Almagro attempts a scorched earth tactic by flooding his own city and escaping via helicopter. Captain Rorke leads a small strike team, now referred to as "Ghosts" by the US Military, to try and assassinate General Diego Almagro and disband the Federation.

After taking out two missile launchers and hundreds of infantry, the Ghosts are forced to find another way when a massive flood drowns the city. Elias is saved by Rorke as the group continues their hunt. When they finally reach  Almagro's chopper, Elias successfully kills the general before the helicopter is downed. Through consequential reasoning, Elias is forced to let go of Rorke, allowing him to fall into the rushing waters below and prevent the deaths of himself and his fellow squadmates.

Lieutenant Elias Walker now assumes command of the Ghosts and searches Caracas for Rorke's body. Unbeknownst to them, Federation troops captured Rorke and tortured him. Federation interrogators left him in a hole for days and fed him poisoned food that physically and mentally tormented his body. Rorke then joined the Federation, bent on hunting down the rest of the Ghosts.

Trivia

 * During the the first launcher kill sequence, a Federation soldier pulls out a M9A1.
 * In the beginning of the level, Rorke is heard communicating with a command official codenamed "Overlord", the name being a reference to the American commander in the Modern Warfare series.
 * This is the only level where Rorke is an ally in the campaign.
