Price and Laswell

Task Force 141 is a joint multi-national special operations task force and counter-terrorism military unit formed by Captain John Price at the conclusion of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, serving as the primary playable faction within Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, and also as a sub-faction for SpecGru in Multiplayer.

History[]

Formation[]

Shortly after Roman Barkov's death, Captain Price met with Kate Laswell at a teahouse to discuss the formation of a new task force, intended to tie up loose ends that would inevitably be created in the void left behind by Barkov. Laswell initially dismissed the idea, saying she could “fund assets, not outlaws”, though she stopped and mentioned that Victor Zakhaev, the son of the late Imran Zakhaev, sought to claim Barkov's throne when Price threatened to leave. Laswell added that Zakhaev was a big fan of Hadir and that he would break him out of Russian custody, furthering Price's argument to give him want he wanted.

Relenting to Price's request, Laswell handed him the files of multiple candidates handpicked by Price on behalf of General Shepherd for his task force. Upon going over the files of Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, Johnny "Soap" MacTavish, and Simon "Ghost" Riley, Price explained to Laswell that the rest of his candidates were "need to know", unless he had a deal with her. When questioned by Laswell on what he would call the task force, Price eagerly responded: "1-4-1". Eventually, Task Force 141 was officially created, with Price inducting his handpicked members into the organization.

War in Verdansk[]

On March 3rd, 2020, Al-Qatala, reformed under the leadership of Khaled Al-Asad with support from Victor Zakhaev and his weapons business, launched a surprise invasion of Verdansk, Kastovia. In response, the Armistice initiative was established, which launched several assaults to terminate Al-Qatala operations, assets and resources across the region.

However, Ghost soon discovered that Armistice operators had been targeting each other after clouds of deadly gas were released all over Verdansk due to Zakhaev's efforts, eventually leading to the dissolution of the initiative. After escaping the gas attack, Ghost arrived at a classified location in Urzikstan occupied by Ultranationalists, being joined by Charly, Talon and Alex Keller, the latter having barely survived the explosion in Georgia.

Stopping Zakhaev[]

With the situation in Verdansk slowly worsening, Price and Gaz joined the fight in Verdansk shortly after learning of Zakhaev's plan and the hidden bunkers across the city containing nuclear weapons. Later on, Price discovered Zakhaev had been using the subway tunnels beneath the city to move around undetected alongside supplies, though the subway system itself had been deactivated. In a joint effort between Nikolai and Farah Karim, the two were able to reactivate the subway system throughout the city and continued their search for Zakhaev.

In December, the team, which Farah and Nikolai were now members of, along with Marcus Griggs' Demon Dogs, assaulted the Bunker 10 missile silo to find Zakhaev, who was preparing to launch a dormant nuclear warhead. Simultaneously, Price managed to infiltrate the silo from another entry point and managed to shoot Zakhaev in the shoulder. While the launch prepped in the background, Zakhaev mockingly greeted Price, who responded by calling Zakhaev "a dead man" before pulling him up. Zakhaev exclaimed that he started a war and that killing him would achieve nothing, to which Price explained that he wasn't going to kill him directly, but rather "the fall will", hoisting Zakhaev over a railing and pushing him over the side to his death.

With the help of Nikolai, Price managed to shutdown the nuclear launch just in time, averting Zakhaev's plans. Following this, Price, along with Nikolai, Alex, Ghost, Kyle and Farah, regrouped atop to the Verdansk Dam to witness the continued fighting of former Armistice soldiers between one another. Soap then contacted Price to inform him of a developing situation half a click off the coast, and the team parachuted off of the dam together to meet up with him.

Missiles Crisis[]

Assassination of Ghorbrani[]

On July 15th, 2022, Ghost was deployed to Al Mazrah in the United Republic of Adal to assist Shadow Company with the assassination of Quds Force General Ghorbrani while he was amidst an arms trade with Russian forces. Ghost ventured through a nearby canyon to an overlook and confirmed Ghorbrani's arrival, giving Phillip Graves permission to neutralize the target. Soon after, Shadow Company launched a ballistic missile at the arms trade, which completely decimated the site upon impact, killing Ghorbrani as confirmed by Ghost.

Discovery in Al Mazrah[]

In October 2022, Soap and Ghost were tasked with apprehending Hassan Zyani, who sought to destroy the US for the death of General Ghorbrani. Alongside two squads of MARSOC marines, they boarded a helicopter and landed in a field in Al Mazrah to search for Hassan, but failed, then, the one of the Marines spotted Al-Qatala soldiers' activity near a warehouse, prompting the team to search it, where they found a missile container carrying American ballistics missiles.

Fighting the Cartel in Las Almas[]

After learning that Hassan escaped into Las Almas with the help of the Las Almas Cartel, Soap and Ghost linked up with Colonel Alejandro Vargas and his unit, Los Vaqueros. They assaulted a Cartel safehouse looking for Hassan, but only found a flag of the Quds Force before being attacked by Mexican soldiers paid off by the Cartel. Only Soap, Ghost and Alejandro managed to escape with the support from Shadow Company's AC-130. With the help from Shadow Company, the team assaulted a Cartel compound and successfully captured Hassan. However, they were ambushed by Cartel members and Mexican soldiers near the village of Olmeda but managed to repel the assaults and extract with Hassan.

Capturing El Sin Nombre[]

Despite the successful capture, Task Force 141 and Shadow Company is forced to release Hassan to avoid a political fallout. However, they planted a tracker on Hassan's phone, allowing Price and Gaz to follow up on him, which leads to a cartel smuggling base in Spain.

Meanwhile, Soap, Ghost, Alejandro and Shadow Company acquired intel on a cartel estate important meeting, where the Las Almas Cartel leader El Sin Nombre alongside with important members and associate of the Las Almas Cartel have gathered. The team decided that this was their best shot, with Soap volunteering to infiltrate the mansion, which prompted Alejandro to do it as well. When Soap got inside the mansion, he was brought down to the basement and was interrogated by the El Sin Nombre's personal sicaria, Valeria Garza, where he gave her all the information that she wanted, then Soap was told to wait upstairs, where he linked up with an undercover Alejandro. They would later capture Valeria, where it became known to them that, she was El Sin Nombre, a Shadow Company contractor then brought her up to the helicopter and took her to the Fuerzas Especiales Headquarters.

Neutralizing the second missile[]

Through interrogation, Valeria revealed to Task Force 141 that the missile was on an oil rig in the ocean, prompting them to assault it alongside Graves and Shadow Company troops to find the missile and controls. Soap and Ghost swept the rig, but the missile controls were actually on the ship, leading Soap and Graves to go to the ship by boat and push up to the bridge through the containers. They managed to clear the bridge, and Soap and Graves found the missile control set just as the missile started launching, but with Graves' instructions, Soap managed to make the missile hit the oil rig, with the oil rig team escaping just in time.

Betrayed by Shadow Company[]

As the team returned to Fuerzas Especiales Headquarters, Graves revealed Alejandro's men were detained and Shadow Company took over the base with the support of General Shepherd. A firefight broke out, with Ghost escaping and an injured Soap escaping, while Alejandro was captured. Later, with Ghost's instructions, Soap managed to evade Shadow Company contractors and reunited with him and escaped to Alejandro's safehouse. The two met with Alejandro's second-in-command, Rodolfo Parra, and discuss their plan to break into the Prison.

Soap, Ghost and Rodolfo Parra planned to rescue Alejandro and free the remaining Los Vaqueros forces. After planning it out carefully, they then broke in and head to the security room, where Ghost told Soap to guide him through the cameras while he plants C4s to create diversions. After Ghost had planted all the charges, Rodolfo managed to locate Alejandro, then they regrouped and breached the prison cells and rescued Alejandro alongside with other Los Vaqueros operators. While Soap, Ghost, Alejandro, Rodolfo alongside with Los Vaqueros operators exiting the prison, they were stopped by a helicopter, which was shot down by Price, who then deployed ropes to get them out, Price ordered Gaz, Soap and Ghost to overwatch and cover fire for Vaqueros. They all exfiled, and Price tells the Task Force why Shadow Company betrayed them.

Retaking Los Vaqueros Headquarters[]

Task Force 141 alongside with Los Vaqueros formed JTF - Ghost Team and launched an assault against Shadow Company, who is occupying the Fuerzas Especiales Headquarters.

Team 1, consisting of Price, Alejandro, Gaz, and a Los Vaqueros operator infiltrated the base from the underground, while Team 2, consisting of Soap, Ghost, Rodolfo alongside with other Los Vaqueros operators attacked from the front gates. Gaz and Alejandro then secured Hangar 3, where Shadow Company is holding Valeria, Team 2 then managed to reach the Headquarters, where they spotted Graves fleeing, as they pushed into training grounds, Price's helicopter was shot down, which prompted Ghost to help him, forcing Soap and Rodolfo to fight on their own against Graves, who was in a tank. With clever maneuvering combined with the usage of C4s, Soap managed to destroy the tank, seemingly killing Graves.

Stopping Hassan[]

After they retrieved Valeria, Task Force 141 wanted to know the wherabouts of Hassan and third missile, Valeria then told them: "Chicago", Price then handed Valeria to Alejandro and Task Force 141 left Las Almas. Then Task Force 141 was deployed alongside MARSOC Marines to eliminate Hassan and disarm the final missile. But, even with their best effort, the missile was launched.

Price and Soap regrouped with Gaz and eliminated all the enemies, they went near the door of the room where Hassan is hiding, but before Soap could use the snake cam, the door was breached, and they were knocked out, Gaz managed to get up and brought both Soap and Price to a safe location. Soap then rushed into the elevator, there, the elevator exploded after Hassan fired the RPG-7, and started to fall down. Soap had the chance to get the missile control from a stunned Hassan, Hassan then armed himself to attack Soap but was distracted by Gaz, allowing Soap to run away with the missile control, then, with Laswell's guidance, Soap managed to disarm the missile, then he killed the Al-Qatala soldiers in the area, being shot in the back by Hassan. Hassan then tried to finish off Soap, but was killed by Ghost before he could do so.

Makarov's Revenge[]

On November 10th, 2023, as Task Force 141 reached their designated jumping point for an unknown mission. Laswell radioed Price, telling him that Makarov is out. Which prompted Price to tell the pilot to turn around and bring Task Force 141 back to base.

Nuclear Power Plant Attack[]

On the same day, Task Force 141 were deployed to a nuclear power plant in Urzikstan after Konni forces were spotted converging to the plant. Soap and Gaz were tasked with securing the perimeter, while Price and Ghost recce the plant. There, Task Force 141 engaged with Konni forces and found out that they were trying to transport containers of Sarin gas - a remnant of Barkov's program. Despite the Task Force's best effort, Konni was still able to get away with the gas, and Price nearly lost his life while trying to prevent them from doing so.

Securing the missile[]

Thanks to the trackers that were planted on the missile containers by Farah, Laswell was able to track it back to an abandoned bunker complex in Urzistan. Prompting the Task Force to assault it in hopes of preventing the missiles from launching. The Task Force then divided their work, with Price rallying up with Farah while the rest of the Task Force sweep and clear the complex. While Laswell is going to Arklov Military Base, Verdansk to meet a contact who can help 141 in their search for Makarov. Price and Farah were able to stop one of the missiles from launching, but Soap, alongside with Ghost and Gaz failed to do so for the two remaining missiles, which were heading for the Arklov Military Base. Which made Price radioed Laswell in the blind.

Raid on Makarov's financier private island[]

Following the meeting with General Shepherd, a temporary truce was forged between Task Force 141 and Shadow Company, as they worked together to find and kill Makarov. Shepherd then gave Laswell intel regarding Makarov's financier - Milena Romanova, who was located on a remote island with large security forces protecting her. Soap and Ghost then infiltrated the island to interrogate Milena and find out about Makarov's next move. Ghost provided overwatch while Soap worked his way around the security guards, eventually eliminating the HVT with the FOB Key, allowing Laswell to access the terminal which contained information about Romanova's bank accounts and the various dealings that happened on them.

Eventually, Soap and Ghost reached the door to Romanova's office, with the help from Laswell, they walked into Romanova's office and began to interrogate her, through the usage of financial interrogation, Romanova broke and told them the information that they wanted. Soap then thanked Romanova for the "good chat", as him and Ghost left the office, with Romanova cursing them as they left.

Strike Konni's Outpost in St. Petersburg[]

Following the raid on the island and the subsequent intel gathered from Romanova's interrogation, Task Force 141 learnt of a recently established Konni outpost in St. Petersburg, prompting them to assault it. With Gaz doing the assault while Price provided overwatch and fire support for him. The assault proved to be a success, as the two managed to capture Andrei Nolan - Makarov's right-hand man, and successfully extracted him.

Intercepting the HVT transport in Siberia[]

Following Nolan's interrogation, Task Force 141 learned that Makarov was transporting someone to an abandoned prison complex in Siberia, prompting them to intercept that convoy before it could reach its destination. Soap, Price, and Gaz positioned themselves underwater, while Farah alongside with the rest of Task Force 141 provided overwatch. When the convoy reached the ambush position, Task Force 141 executed their plan and began to work their way to the HVT. Eventually, Soap, Price, and Gaz secured the HVT and brought him to the surface, where they found out that the person who Makarov was transporting was none other than General Shepherd, which made Price furious, Gaz then reminded him that they are in an exposed location and suggest that they moved to a more covered one.

Shepherd then told Task Force 141 that he has good intel regarding Makarov and that they'd get it once they get him out of here. Price reluctantly agreed to that, the Task Force then fought through reinforcing Konni forces. Eventually, they reached the extraction zone and boarded the helicopter. Then, Task Force 141 brought General Shepherd to a remote location in Sibera, where they told him to owe up and told Congress all the truth, which Shepherd reluctantly agreed to. The Task Force then took him aboard the helicopter and left Siberia.

Double strikes at Konni[]

Following his return, Shepherd revealed that Makarov wanted to blow up the Gora Dam, in order to flood Verdansk and kill its inhabitants, and to blame it on Farah and the West. Soap and Ghost were deployed there to disarm the bombs and prevent a catastrophe from happening. Through careful maneuvering, Soap and Ghost managed to disarm all the bomb sites in the vicinity and exfilled, preventing a disaster from happening.

Following, Soap and Ghost's success at Gora Dam. Task Force 141 alongside with the Urzikstan Liberation Force and Shadow Company attacked Konni's Forward Operation Base in Urzikstan. The attack beared fruits, as the Task Force managed to secure the chemicals located in one of the hangars and Vladimir Makarov was persumed K.I.A.

Operation Trojan Horse[]

Laswell received information from the MI6 that Makarov and Konni were in London, she also found out that they are meeting up with a hacker. Soap and Gaz were deployed on the ground, where they blended in to track the hacker, while Ghost provided help from the CCTVs. Soap overheard the conversation and learned the location of the buyer. Task Force 141 and SFO then gathered at an abandoned tunnel in Amsley Street, then the team breached and began to clear the tunnel, they managed to kill the buyer and acquired the flash drive.

Despite their effort, the virus was uploaded to the train system, granting Konni the ability to control the train, and Task Force 141 also learned that Makarov planned to destroy Channel Tunnel. Task Force 141 alongside with SFO's approached the Channel Tunnel. They then split up, with Gaz, Ghost, SFO Leader and half of his men taking one side and Price, Soap alongside the rest of the SFOs taking the other. The tunnel is run through with trains as Konni take over the network. After intense shootouts with Konni. Price and Soap found a bomb being guarded by Konni contractors. Whilst Soap worked on disarming the bomb, more Konni contractors attacked them, Price alongside with the SFO provided cover for Soap. Then, Price requested that Gaz and Ghost reinforce them.

After providing the manufacturing logo and serial number to Soap, Price was just about to defuse the bomb when Makarov and his men ambushed them. Ordering his men to stay back and leave his enemies to him, Makarov shot both Soap and Price in the shoulder. As Soap seems to be knocked out, Makarov pinned Price down and prepared to execute him with a taunt to take with him to hell: "Never bury your enemies alive". Soap was able to get up and stabbed Makarov in the shoulder, but Makarov twisted his arm and shot him through in the head. Gaz and Ghost then arrived with reinforcements and returned fire, forcing Makarov to flee. With Soap K.I.A and Ghost over his body, Gaz and Price managed to disarm the bomb.

Following Soap's death and cremation, his ashes were scattered in Scotland by Ghost, while Price and Gaz stood in silence to pay their respect for him.

Operation Spearhead[]

At some point, Konni's Spetsnaz occupied Orlov Military Base and Kadurin Silo and initiated the launching of two ICBMs stationed there. This prompted intervention from Task Force 141, with their main objective is to override the control and reprogrammed the two ICBMs to self-destruct upon launching.
