"Madre de dios! Ambush! Ambush!"

- José, after an ambush against his squad in Brazil

I'm Corporal Juan José Rodriguez on the Call of Duty wikia. I love playing Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2.

Mexican War on Drugs
Juan José Rodriguez was born in Torréon, Mexico, during a struggling time in the country. However, after his family moved to Canada and his life was sorted out, he decided after a long chain of events to try and join the Armed Forces. After his family permanently moved back to Torréon, he decided to join the Mexican Naval Infantry. Thanks to a letter of recommendation from his commanding officer in Canadian Navy Cadets, José was strongly considered and put through the Mexican Naval Infantry basic training (the Marine Corps of México). He was accepted into their ranks as a Private in the year 2011. José's battalion of Marines was called up to his hometown, Torréon, for a patrol. However, while rolling down the streets near Corona Stadium, their squad is required to split up. José falls under orders of Cabo Salazar, a female Marine. They spot a tall man heading into the stadium via a hidden entrance, so Salazar kicks down the door. José soon learned from a man standing at the door that both men were aligned with the Cartel of Sinaloa, and that the Drug Lord in charge of the cartel (Joaquín Guzmán) was going to ally with another drug leader (Manuel Roba). José quickly ran up the stairs to find a sniper, ready to start shooting civilians inside the stadium, at the same time as a large soccer game was going on. José stops the attempted assassination and links up with his commanding officer, Cárdenas, to inform him.

Cárdenas informed José that the Mexican Naval Infantry would be undergoing a massive operation involving all branches of the Mexican Military named Operation Jaguar. He and his squad would be released in Michoácan to (as his commander, 2nd Petty Officer Cárdenas would say) 'stop the war on drugs, completely'.

After being deployed from a small training ship, the ARM Cuauhtémoc, the Marines moved to the coast of Michoacán and ambushed 'El Chapo', otherwise known as Joaquín Guzmán, the primary commander of the drug cartel in Sinaloa, outside of a hotel. In the beginning of the firefight, 2nd P.O. Cárdenas is shot in the chest. He tells José to quickly run into the hotel and track down El Chapo, however he can. José takes Salazar, and, armed with his M4A1 Grenadier, runs past flaming cars into the building where El Chapo is believed to be. After moving upstairs, he takes out his M203 grenade launcher and shoots it into a room - killing both snipers and alerting the rest of the militia inside. As José's squad lays down fire across the rooms, José sees a man running upstairs and chases him. After tackling him to the ground, José properly identifies him as Joaquín Guzmán. He meets up with the rest of his squad, having apprehended El Chapo. Upon seeing it, Cárdenas promoted him on the spot to the rank of Cabo (an equivalent of Corporal). Across the country, Mexican Armed Forces managed to track down several hundreds of cartel ships and kill members of La Familia. It was also confirmed cartels stationed in Sinaloa, Juarez and Baja California had been captured. Felipé Caldéron declared the operation to be a massive success and praised the military of the United Mexican States. With the majority of the drug cartel lords defeated, he claimed that Mexico could once again have a prosperous economy and their country would rise again. José was also informed that a small international task force aided in the operation, but their overall mission result was unknown.

Operations with Task Force 141
Months after Operation Jaguar, José was promptly reassigned to Task Force 141, along with Ghost. Ghost and José both met inside a small briefing room, after both being recommended by their respective divisions. General Shepherd recruited them as some of the earliest members, and as such, José was selected for one of the first missions. At the same time that two operatives would assault an air base, José and Ghost were selected to engage in a paratrooping mission in Cuba, where they would attempt to assassinate Vladimir Makarov, who was there for an evident arms deal. Upon landing, they breach an old Cuban armory left since the Cuban Revolution. However, during the assault, Makarov and another man (later revealed to be Alejandro Rojas) escape in a helicopter. Ghost and José search through the base, waiting for an evacuation helicopter.

José was soon selected for the mission in Brazil to track down Rojas' assistant and Rojas himself. However, after leaving the car where his driver had been shot, he spots a teenage boy crying for help, clutching a bleeding teenage girl in his hands. José picked up the girl and quickly ran down the streets of Rio de Janeiro, looking for help. Eventually, he hands the girl off to a group of hospital staff in a small building he entered, before retracing his steps to relocate his squad. José finds Ghost and MacTavish - the latter who doesn't know what to refer to him as. José claims that his callsign is Taco, much to the amusement of the Captain. After battling through the favela, they eventually capture Rojas and interrogate him. José and Roach enter a local house to rest, but they discover a TV displaying the Russian invasion of the United States. then tries to get onto to the Pave Low of Nikolai, only to be outgunned and outmatched. They manage to make it to the secondary extraction point and board the helicopter, with José musing about how amazing the country used to be.

He later appears in The Only Easy Day... Was Yesterday, with a suppressed M4A1 Grenadier as he swims underwater and helps Roach up. José helps the infiltration and secures hostages, before finding an AT4. He picks it up and shoots down over 5 hostiles. During the evacuation, he gives Roach his sniper rifle, claiming that Roach is a better shot than him. Cpl. Rodriguez then comes with the squad into the Gulag to find an unknown prisoner named 'Prisoner 627'. After Ghost gives them orders upon where to go, José finds a wall where they can take a shortcut into a shower room. Once Roach breaches the wall, José orders the squad to jump down the hole into the sewer. After they enter the room and the prisoner holds a gun to Roach's head, José questions the identity of both Price and 'Soap'. However, the US Navy begins a bombardment upon the castle, sending debris everywhere. Soap leads the team and sends a flare through a gaping hole in the roof, prompting a friendly Pave Low to drop a SPIE ring for them to hook onto. José, after escaping, then asks Ghost about the situation in the United States, but is left without a reply.

Cpl. Rodriguez participated in the assault on the submarine base in Contingency, landing with Ghost and the rest of the Task Force. When they met up with Roach and Captain Price, Ghost and José's portion of the squad made their way through the base and eventually reached a tower giving them a good view of the submarine. Meanwhile Captain Price went inside the submarine with his own plan, unknown to the rest of the Task Force. While José held up against the forces, upon seeing the silo doors open, he made a dash for the sub with his USP .45. After trying to open up the submarine hatch, he runs to the bow of the submarine to avoid a nuclear missile launch only dozens of meters away from him. Ghost orders a 'Code Black' as the task force try to make their way to the submarine to stop the missile, only to be confronted with Captain Price ordering them to stop. Soap, who was not present in the mission, agrees with Captain Price on the matter. Both Ghost and 'Taco' are left in disbelief, knowing the consequence for the missile would be severe.

He is then assigned to the mission to breach and clear Makarov's safehouse. Under instructions, he is designated as the Spotter for Toad and Archer, but after a large portion of their force is lost in an ambush, he joins in the taking of the safehouse. He stocks up in the armory, and holds position in an elevated balcony of the safehouse. When Roach uncovers the DSM, Taco makes his exit with the small remainder of the squad, but José is held back during the ambush. A mortar hits José and he flies into the treeline, his weapons being thrown away from him. José, dazed, attempts to crawl out of the bush to reach the landing zone. However, after the Shadow Company reveal their true intentions and shoot José's teammates, 'Taco' stops and comes to the realization he could not do anything - should he make a break for his weapon, he would be gunned down before he could even attempt to avenge Ghost and Roach. José manages to fool Shepherd's men in his camouflage and the heavy foliage. After they extract, José contacts all remaining Task Force members, including Price and Soap, who are busy fighting, and Toad and Archer, the snipers he was designated to spot for. A Little Bird arrives to extract the remainder of the team as José collects what remains of Ghost and Roach, such as their Dog Tags and equipment, vowing revenge.

Final Days
After the deaths of Ghost and Roach, the betrayal of Price and Soap and the assassination of General Shepherd, the Task Force 141 is taken over by a Lieutenant-General in the Canadian Joint Task Force 2, Jordon McKnight. Despite war across several countries and parties pushing for Task Force 141's disbandment, General McKnight orders a final mission - a two-day involvement in Uganda, to free a ruined country from rebels. Claiming that the Task Force would undergo the operations in groups of three, José was put in a group of three to combat the advancing Lord's Resistance Army - commanded by Staff Sergeant Naomi Williams (codenamed Amazon), a heavy-gunning African-British female with a scoped L86 LSW and also including Private Dylan Schmidt (codenamed Toad), the sniper that he worked with in the attempted assassination of Vladimir Makarov.

The team of Toad, Amazon and Taco make their way via Little Bird helicopter to Patongo Refugee camp in Northern Uganda. An evacuation begins for Ugandan civilians as Task Force 141 and Uganda People's Defence Force soldiers begin an armoured escort. However, an ambush by the LRA causes the Task Force to exit their jeeps and move into a local farm for cover. As Toad (armed with an M21 EBR) begins to snipe enemy forces, Amazon struggles to attempt to communicate with a local Ugandan soldier. José, while struggling for an elevated defensive position, sees a small group of child rebel soldiers heading towards them. As Amazon claims she does not want to engage, José draws his flashbangs and throws them, prompting Toad to do the same, and allowing them to apprehend the children without any casualties. José is praised for his positive actions. Later on in the day, the Task Force is sent to a small quarry to track down an LRA camp. José gets split up from his team, and when trying to relocate his teammates, José is shot in the chest by a sniper. José manages to survive the bullet and attempts to crawl to safety, but is found by Toad, who proceeds to fix his wounds, and Amazon, who gives them covering fire. However, while lying on his back, José gets a visual on an enemy sniper targeting Amazon. When Amazon does not notice the sniper, José stops Toad from fixing his wounds, picks up his M4A1 Grenadier and shoots the sniper down with one hand. Quickly, José gets up and rushes to a large quarry tower, being followed by Amazon and Toad. Upon reaching the top, Amazon releases a flare to contact any friendly helicopters. As a Little Bird helicopter arrives to pick up their team, José and Naomi make it on board. Toad, however, manages to make a running jump onto the helicopter after a near hit from an enemy RPG.

On the second day of engagement in Uganda, the Task Force is sent for one final mission before withdrawal and eventual disbandment. José, Toad and Amazon, now being supported by a single Zulu Viper, engage what is suspected to be a hostage location and Lord's Resistant Army stronghold. The Zulu Viper attacks an RPG-wielding hostile group while Amazon's squad enters a nearby building. As their squad becomes subjected to a surprise attack from the rebels, Toad is thrown to the ground and almost shot in the head. However, José tackled the enemy to the ground and pistol-whipped him with his USP .45. Toad gets up from the ground and tells José that "he owes him one". Tragedy occurs as their squad exits the building - as an enemy runs into view of José's squad, the Zulu Viper overhead launches a Hellfire air-to-surface missile, setting off an explosive chain reaction close to the squad and severely injuring Corporal Rodriguez. As José is hit by the shrapnel, Amazon and Toad were lucky enough to find light cover behind an overturned dumpster. As Toad tries to support him, José mutters "No, Toad... this is the end... get my last words out. Maria... I'm coming home." José succumbs to his wounds and dies.

José's body would be extracted and returned to Mexico. After reports from local TV tell his story, the Mexican government proclaims him as a national hero for defending Mexico during the war on drugs and for never turning away from his duties in war. He was posthumously promoted to Sargento Primero, or First Sergeant. Task Force 141 is disbanded and Corporal Juan José Rodriguez was laid to rest in Torreon, Mexico.
