Operation Black Sun (June 21st to July 1st 2019)
Iran's terrorist network called the Apostles are enraged with the United States efforts to stop the nuclear program through cyber attacks and buying out their scientists. A nuclear device was stolen from a facility put on a boat and sent to Venezuela where the Apostles would launch an attack on the United States soil.

With a nuclear device missing the CIA and DEVGRU planned to intercept the vessel over open waters to prevent the Apostle's goal of launching a nuclear device on the Homeland. Unfornately, they missed the ship and raided a oil ship, the nuclear device arrived in Venezuela. The President of the United States told the CIA to use whatever means nessecary to prevent an attack on the Homeland and they had a blank check.

Master Sergeant Travis Ryden and Sergeant First Class William Thore are two Delta Snipers apart of Crusader Team sent to help American Special Forces, DEVGRU, CIA SAD/SOG and MARSOC Raiders prevent the nuclear device moving to the American border. They are to assist and, if they have a clear shot, eliminate the leader of the Apostles.

Venezuela (June 21st-23rd 2019)
Deployed to Venezuela, the two set out to help DEVGRU Devil Hunter Team find the nuclear device at the Port of Carpano. Assisting in taking down enemy combatants, they were able to verify that a nuclear device had been on the ship but unknown of where it went. The DEVGRU team came into contact with terrorist where Will and Travis were able to cover their escape and exfil.

With no idea on where the nuclear device is, Crusader Team links up with the 1st Special Forces Group who is training Venezuelan rebels. With the assistance of the Green Berets, they were able to find the bomb's location and give the CIA Special Activties Division a visual on where it was with a Predator Drone. They went to recover the bomb and failed, the car was able to get away before the Green Berets could retrieve the nuclear device. With the CIA on the bomb, it would only be a matter of time before it would be captured.

Colombia (June 24th-26th 2019)
With the Apostles using the cover of the jungle and Cartel routes, Crusader Team assisted a SAD/SOG and DEVGRU raid on a jungle compound. They were able to learn more about where the nuclear device is destined to go and route. But the teams were caught under fire by the Cartel and had to fight their way to extraction where Crusader Team provided cover.

With the United States reaching DEFCON Two, Crusader Team deployed via ATVs to help a Green Beret team attack the convoy carrying the nuclear device. In a remote area, a Predator with Hellfire Missiles was authorized by the President to take down the lead vehicle of the convoy, once the convoy was stopped, Green Berets and Crusaders assaulted the convoy and secured a fake bomb. With being tricked, the CIA and Homeland Security prepared to lock down the border and send every available unit into Central America.

Central America (June 26th-29th 2019)
With MARSOC embedded into Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras, Crusader Team was able to assist MARSOC and SAD/SOG raids where they were able to find the route of another convoy. Crusader Team was dispatched to investigate the convoy that was halted on Honduras's border passing.

Travis was able to verify that the nuclear device was in the convoy and they were not able to extract it due to the weight of the device. With the convoy on the move, Crusaders embedded into the convoy giving real time updates of where they were going.

Mexico (June 30th-July 1st 2019)
At Veracruz, Crusader Team was able to verify that the nuclear device was being moved to a ship that would travel to Miami and explode on the Fourth of July. Conducting a port assault with DEVGRU Devil Hunter Team and a CIA/SOG team, they were able to locate the bomb that was being transported to the ship. A Navy SEAL EOD team was deployed to defuse the bomb and they were successful to stop a nuclear attack on the Homeland.

With the leader present at the port, Crusader Team was dispatched to hunt him down and execute him. With the help of a Predator Drone, William was able to spot the leader fleeing in a car going 60 mph and hit him. Devil Hunter Team was able to confirm the death of the leader along side SAD. With the failed attack on the United States, the Apostles were wiped out in a joint operation with DEVGRU and Iran Special Forces.

United States
