Task Force 141 (Original)

Task Force 141 is a multinational special operations group comprised of members from the Special Operations Group of the CIA's Special Activities Division, British 22nd Special Air Service Regiment and the US Army 75th Ranger Regiment. Other unconfirmed members of the task force are the United States Army 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta (Delta Force), British Navy Special Boat Service, United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU or SEAL Team Six), Spetznaz, Australian Special Air Service and Canadian Joint Task Force 2 among other possible European and North American special forces. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the player character Sgt. Gary "Roach" Sanderson is a member, with teammates "Ghost", Royce, "Meat" and leader Captain "Soap" MacTavish. As stated in game previews, Task Force 141 will be deployed in the Tian Shan mountain range of Kazakhstan, a desert area in Afghanistan, a Russian prison and Rio De Janiero, Brazil and also Washington DC, and possibly other places in the United States

Task Force 141 is based on such multinational special operations groups such as TF 121, TF 145, and TF 6-26, which in real life are mainly noted for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Trivia

 * During E3 '09, CEO of Infinity Ward Vince Zampella jokingly called TF 141 the "International Coalition of Bad Asses" and in the June issue of GAMEINFORMER they referred to TF 141 as "Elite Badasses".
 * An interesting note is that as an irregular military unit, all of the named members go by nicknames, such as Roach, Meat, Ghost, and Soap.
 * Robert Bowling has confirmed via his Twitter page that TF 141 will also have Canadian and Australian members (Possibly from JTF2 and Australian SAS) along side British and Americans.
 * Task Force 141's number changes depending on who is leading the team at the moment, be it SAS, Rangers, etc. It is unknown what other aliases it has gone through.
 * It is known that at least one (Meat), and possibly two of the members (Royce) will die. In Takedown, Royce tells Roach over the radio "Roach... I'm down... Meat's dead, they're all over me... HEL---!". He becomes cut off, and he is not heard from again in that level.
 * Task Force 141 is the biggest team in Call of Duty history that the player is in, containing seven confirmed characters, plus the amount of Canadians, Australians, Marines, Army Rangers, Navy SEALS, CIA agents there are.
 * Robert Bowling stated that "Task Force 141 will be decreasing its size throughout the game"
 * Joseph Allen is not, contrary to popular belief, a CIA agent. He is a Ranger, and this is proved in the intro to "No Russian", when the Ranger emblem flashes across the screen with his name underneath it.
 * The characters and soldiers have the same two flags on their arm, what ever nationality they are from British or American.
