Biography
Sergeant Foley is introduced in S.S.D.D., training an Afghan National Army group at Firebase Phoenix, Afghanistan with the aid of Private First Class Joseph Allen. Shortly before Allen's selection training for Task Force 141, Foley and his squad is deployed in Team Player to engage a hostile militia group.

Shortly after Allen's death in No Russian, 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment is deployed in Virginia in response to an invasion by Russian military forces, with Foley leading Dunn and Private James Ramirez in the defense of Virginia, evacuating civilians and High-Valued-Individuals. Foley and his squad are later deployed in Washington, facilitating the evacuation of civilians and wounded personnel in the city. During the evacuation process, a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter is damaged by anti-aircraft fire, with Foley ordering the pilot to attack a SAM-laden Department of Justice building to facilitate a safe passage. The effort is partially successful until the Black Hawk crash lands.

After the crash-landing of the Black Hawk, Foley, Dunn, and Ramirez make what was a seemingly last stand and were barely saved by Captain Price's EMP strike. With all electronic equipment down, Foley and his squad participates in the retaking of the White House. He personally leads his squad in the re-taking of the White House and uses flares to signal to the incoming bombers that they are still "Combat Effective" and for the bombers to abort their run on Washington, D.C..
