launches a full-scale assault on Al-Asad's presidential palace in spite of the S.A.S warning about the possible nuclear device. The Marines engage Al-Asad's ground forces. Intelligence gathered from the two missions indicates that Al-Asad may be in possession of a Russian nuclear device. In the meantime, the Special Air Service (S.A.S) conducts two important operations, one on a ship in the Bering Strait and one in Russia. The platoon attacks a TV station in which Al-Asad was thought to be broadcasting live and then engages in urban combat in an unnamed city south of the capital. In the afternoon of the second day of invasion, a platoon of USMC 1st Force Recon is sent to capture Al-Asad.
Al-Asad is ruthless and has extreme anti-Western views, which prompts the United States to invade the country. Meanwhile, a separatist group lead by Khaled Al-Asad seizes power in a 'small but oil-rich' country in the Middle East through a coup d'état.
In 2011, a civil war has broken out in Russia between its government and ultranationalists who seek to restore Russia to its Soviet-era glamor.
