Operation: Snowstorm

Introduction
This is an alternate take on a certain path for Modern Warfare 2's campaign, and a sort-of preview of my 71-page fanfiction, Modern Warfare 2: Otro Día.

Prologue
To: Major-General Jordon McKnight  -- OPERATION_67845-2056

From: Lieutenant-General Allen Shepherd -- TASK FORCE 141

'''Greetings, Major-General. I know a lot about you. Many military leaders – including me, were impressed upon hearing the recent Joint Task Force 2 success in the Serbian Rebellion. I could use a hand in leading the 141 – you seem like just the man for the job.

'''As you know, Vladimir R. Makarov has recently attacked a civilian airport in Moscow. The backlash is fierce, and even as American troops are fighting on their homeland, we are still searching for Makarov here in the Task Force. We have found three possible locations of where Makarov may be hiding. Attached is the coordinates for the following suspected locations:'''

1) A safehouse on the Russian-Georgian border which our intel states Makarov may store weapons and intel on his various missions.

2) A U.S. Vehicle Disposal Yard where Makarov may be planning to either steal the out-of-commission vehicles or hide his own.

3) A warehouse complex near Vladivostok, where our recon teams have reported seeing him and possible accomplices.

'''I trust you, McKnight. I know what you can do and I know that you can do it exceptionally well. I’m taking a very small leave of absence from the 141 to command U.S. forces on the East Coast, so I’m leaving you in charge of the 141.''' '''Track Vladimir Makarov down and kill him. I’m lending you my absolute best shooters, soldiers and warriors at your disposal, as well as our arsenal and aircraft. You are in charge of the 141 – make your time count.'''

-Lieutenant-General Allen Shepherd, Commander of Task Force 141

To: Lieutenant-General Allen Shepherd -- RE:OPERATION_67845-056

From: Major-General Jordon McKnight -- TASK FORCE 141

'''Thank you for the offer, I graciously accept. I know the serious threat that Vladimir Makarov poses to all NATO countries as well as the UN and our individual fellow men and women. For this mission, I have looked over the recommended soldiers, and I have chosen the following:'''

*Captain John Price, former SAS specialist, expert marksman

*Captain John MacTavish, former SAS trooper, explosives expert

*Lieutenant Simon 'Ghost' Riley, former SAS soldier, stealth trooper

*Staff Sergeant Naomi 'Amazon' Williams, former British Army specialist, machine gunner

*Starshina Alexandr 'Zero' Krazsnov, Spetsnaz sergeant, CQB specialist

*Sergeant Bishop 'Archer' Holmes – former British paratrooper, expert sniper

*Sergeant Gary 'Roach' Sanderson – British paratrooper, grenadier

*Third-Sergeant Thiago 'Piranha' Rua – Brazilian special forces soldier, CQB-orientated fighting

*Master Corporal Owen 'Orion' Green – JTF2 specialist, grenadier

*Cabo Juan José 'Taco' Rodriguez – former Mexican Marine, grenadier

*Cabo Cristina 'Jaguar' Salazar – former Mexican Marine, submachine gunner

*PFC Chris 'Exxon' Palmer, former Navy SEAL, submachine gunner

*Private Joshua 'Toad' Turner, Australian SAS sniping specialist

Their weapons are as follows:

*[5] M4A1 SOPMOD (including [1] C8 Carbine)

*[2] MP5 (including [1] MP5N)

*[2] Accuracy International Arctic Warfare

*[1] Advanced Combat Rifle

*[1] IMBEL MD2

*[1] L86A2 LSW

*[1] AK-M

'''In addition, the squad will have their own sidearms, explosives, secondary weapons, and attachments. After careful consideration, I have disregarded the first and second choices and decided to initiate the assault on the suspected warehouse in Vladivostok. The personal method of transportation? Glad you asked.'''

'''I have commended a single newly acquired AC-130H from the Canadian Air Force for the air deployment and support of the squad. I am aware that C-130s are typically used to deploy paratroopers – but if anything you've told me about the Task Force means anything, we're not a typical and regular force – but we're the best goddamn military task force in the world.'''

'''You have my word, General. At the end of the week, Vladimir Makarov will be killed.''' Operation: Snowstorm is underway.

-Major-General Jordon McKnight, Joint Task Force 2 field commander
