Federation War

The War Against the Federation is a conflict that occurs during the events of Call of Duty: Ghosts. It is fought between the newly formed South American Federation of Countries and what remains of the United States of America after the latter was destroyed as a result of kinetic bombardment.

Background
Sometime in 2013, the United States had developed an orbital weapons system known as ODIN, or Orbital Defense Initiative. However, the space station was hacked by terrorists of an unknown organization, who proceeded to strike the American mainland with its own weapons, decimating at least 30 major cities nationwide and effectively stripping the U.S. of its superpower status. By 2023, ten years after what would be known by many only as "The Event," the South American Federation of Countries, a conglomeration of several South American countries, emerged as a global superpower due to its vast abundance of natural resources.

Seeing the U.S. crippled as an opportunity, the SAFC then invades and occupies the remnants of the former nation. With most of America's armed forces weakened, U.S. Special Operations Command creates a powerful paramilitary organization specializing in clandestine operations, guerrilla warfare, infiltrations, and raids behind enemy lines in order to engage the Federation and expel them from their country.
