"What the hell kind of name is Soap?"-Captain Price 22nd SAS Regiment
Chapter 2
"F.N.G"
October 1st 2022
Dingo was walking toward his new unit when he thought of the past few months, he was a former member of the Group for Specialized Tactics or Ghost Recon. He had participated in Operation Greenstone which was one of the shit shows he participated in. Even guys from the PMC Shadow Company considered the operation to be a disaster. They lost a lot of contractors between August 12 to September 13 of 2022. To make matters worse Ghost Recons AFO Trident were all killed in a helicopter crash to take out the rogue Ghost Cole D Walker. It had been a long month since he was on the Island. But now he was in Thailand with Task Force 141 and DEVGRU White Squadron about to rescue hostages that were kidnapped on a cruise ship and put on an oil rig. The people holding them were a mix of Al-Qatala and local Thai Gangsters.
"Alright Gentlemen. My name is Captain John Price and this is Kyle Garrick or you can call him Gaz. Gaz give them a glimpse of what's going on." Said Price
"Right. AQ has somehow managed to have an influence in the PACOM theater. It's unknown why they're here and taking hostages but we suspect there trying to build new territory." Said Gaz
Gaz was explaining the situation to Laswell who was Task Force 141's station chief and came in to explain something.
"Gentlemen ISR has discovered something that it's close to the oil rig and is in storage with AQ. If it's possible secure that area the agency wants to know what's in there." Said Laswell
"No promises Laswell those hostages are priority." Said Price

Ghost Recon, TF-141, DEVGRU
The plan was simple: DEVGRU would attack a small encampment that was located a couple miles away from the oil rig to make it look like the US Government was desperate. While another team of DEVGRU Operators, Dingo and 141 would assault the oil rig that had the hostages and AQ aboard. As the team was getting closer General Shepherd watched from his office that was located in Washington D.C. and was nervous about this raid considering his last operation in Aurora got 7 Shadow Company Contractors and 11 Tier 1 Operators from Ghost Recon killed. He also has been looking for the ballistic missiles that the Russian hijacked from him about a month ago, however he wasn't worried because he had his guns for hire looking for them.
"Bravo 6 to Watcher 1 ETA to target is 1 mike" Said Price
"This is Foxtrot 1 breaching encampment now" Said DEVGRU Operator
"Never seen you guys before." Said Dingo
As the boat was going he noticed their equipment was up to date unlike the SAS he noticed the Captains MK18 with the Micro T sight and a PEQ 15 laser sight and Gaz was carrying a MP7 with a Holo sight and a PEQ-15 as well. He noticed the guy with the Quads googles was talked about all the time but he didn't know what unit they were in or who they were.
"All Bravo, get ready to get bored." Said Price
As Price, Dingo and Gaz got on the platform an AQ member who was all kitted up was walking towards Gaz and then at that moment Gaz took him out and walked towards the target.
"Sir, look AQ has some good gear." Said Gaz
"Watcher-1 this is Bravo 6 we've got AQ wearing Russian made equipment." Said Price
"Copy that Bravo 6 we've got reports of the same from the Foxtrot team." Said Laswell
As the team was clearing the first platform a Thai guard caught Dingo and sounded the alarm.
"Fuckin hell; Captain we gotta get moving or those hostages are dead." Said Gaz
All the AQ and Thai Guards opened fire on Dingo and the others. Dingo threw one of his sensor grenades and took out two of the AQ guards while Price and Gaz moved in. Price would move and take out an AQ Juggernaut with his MK18 while Gaz and Dingo moved towards the hostages before Gaz could breach Dingo stopped Gaz because he saw a suicide vest on the guard.
"Bloodily hell Captain they got an S-Vest ready to blow the hostages up." Said Gaz
"Dingo go around and sneak in." Said Price
Dingo used his optical camouflage courtesy of Ghost Recon and used a lock pick on the door. As the door opened Gaz and Price came into the room and killed the hostage takers.
"Clear" Said Gaz
"Laswell have some SEALs regroup with us at the suspected warehouse." Said Price
1 hour later
Price had Gaz exfil with the intelligence and hostages from the oil rig, however Price and Dingo along with other SEALs were about to raid a safe house belonging to the pirates. Thankfully had air assets from an AC-130 providing air cover if needed. They didn't have a CCT or a JTAC with them, but it was there just in case they needed it.
"Foxtrot hit the back side" Said Price
"Copy that Bravo 6" Said the SEAL Team Leader
As the team was moving in, one of the SEALs got hit by an Automated LMG. The fire was so bad they called in for support. As this was happening, Price and Dingo breached the warehouse and they found something very unexpected for both AQ and Local warlords.
"Watcher-1 this is Bravo 6 we found something." Said Price
"Tell me you've found a High Value AQ leader." Said Laswell
"Negative." Said Price
"All stations this is Foxtrot 1. Foxtrot 4 needs a MEDEVAC! NOW!" Said a DEVGRU Operator
Dam Neck NAS, Virginia Beach
A DEVGRU team from Red Squadron had just returned from a Deployment from Africa after their previous troop got ambushed in Mali, however other Tier One teams were also deployed to other parts of Africa. As Albert was walking he saw an Army Lieutenant Colonel talking to the current head of DEVGRU Eric Blackburn and Lieutenant Soto. He wasn't thinking too much of it during how often SOCOM comes and goes.
"Master Chief Michael, your needed in the office someone from the Army would like to see you." Said Commander Blackburn
"Ok?" Said Albert
As Micheal walked into the office Mitchell was there with a file of Albert and all of his deployments and his most recent one which involved the PMC group known as Shadow Company and Task Force 141 themselves. It's also the first time the CIA and 4th Echelon worked with each other for the first time, however there was some mistrust in each other; due to what happened at the White House involving their predecessor 3rd Echelon.
"I have been scouting you for a while. We are very impressed with what we've seen on your file." Said Mitchell
"Who are you exactly?" Said Micheal
"I'm from a specialized unit of Tier One operators called the Group for Specialized Tactics or Ghost Recon. We've been looking for operators but most of them don't have the experience you have or we just don't want to mess up unit cohesion." Said Mitchell
"I don't know sir. I don't wanna leave my team." Said Micheal
"If I'm going to be honest with you son. Your troop is going to be split up into different groups real soon. We figured this would be a perfect time to come and talk to you. You won't have to worry about going through selection; however we'll have to put you through the Q course. You'll probably be in there for 2 weeks." Said Mitchell
To be continued……….
Ok so Dingo who's gonna be another important character to the fanfiction is gonna be a key member for 141 and the Ghost usually never do VBSS stuff and for the main character "Albert" Micheal he'll be leaving DEVGRU soon to join the Ghost's.
