The world was filled with strife and turmoil. The sudden shock of how an unknown splinter of the infamous Islamic State of the Levant or Daesh could rise so quickly. Years of stagnation of the group provided ample breeding grounds for a new terrorist organization to form, calling themselves the Islamic People's Front or IPF. They preached the same Islamic fundmentalist ideas, but with the more relentless approach at attacking not just the west like the US and UK, but also eastern nations like Russia, South Korea, and Japan, places that would've not seen such attacks spiked in numbers. It was pure chaos as governments around the world panicked at such a prospect. Only one solution was found in the form of international cooperation: a new Task Force known as the Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Defender (CJTF-OD) or simply, "The Defenders''. Initially comprised of Russian, Ukrainian, American, and British special forces operators, it soon was filled with operators from countries ranging from the Isreali and the Vietnamese Đặc Công.
We start in Hama, Syria, with Russian SSO operator Captain Yuri "Perun" Kavkaz and his squad of one American support gunner, a fellow Russian SSO sniper, and a German combat medic.
Hama, Syria
2000 hours
"Похоже, это база террористов, атаковавших Нью-Йорк несколько дней назад. (Seems like this is the base of the terrorists who attacked New York a few days ago.)" The sniper known as Bars (Leopard) asked his team leader, Perun.
"Да, к сожалению. (Yes, unfortunate it seems.)" Perun replied back.
"Look, I know you guys are Russians in this group but can we please switch to English? It's for the mission after all," The American support gunner, a Navy SEAL codenamed Rabbit, said.
"Says the most American here." The German medic by the codename of Gunther, said.
"Alright. I suppose we should. Anyways, gather up guys."
The four gathered into a small table, not bigger than a counter in a normal household, over a map of the city of Hama.
"We got IPF forces hiding out in the city of Hama, where we are near. Their base is located in an old telecommunications building...here in the center of the city." The Russian Captain pointed to where their base was.
"Our mission is to get inside that base, take out their leader and destroy as much as we can, then get out and let the Syrian Army and SDF forces mop up the rest of the IPF in their joint offensive. Sound clear?"
"Yes, sir." They all nodded.
"Get inside the Bradley, let's move." Perun racked the bolt of AK-12SP and pulled down his NVGs (night vision goggles), the four eyed GPNVG-18, provided by the US government to all Defender operators. Seating in his seat, he reminisced of a more peaceful past, now rocked by numerous terrorist attacks.
"As long as the IPF roams, we'll never get to go home. Sigh, but our job is a job that needs to be done." He thought to himself.

In the city center, it was dead silent, as the streets were being patrolled by IPF militia and police forces, with their signature AK-74s on their hands. Some were laughing and joking amongst themselves, some were smoking, and others were doing prayers. It looked like a normal city, if only if they weren't Islamic fundamentalists seeking an even more extreme version of their former group, ISIS, who were considered extremists in their own right.
"How are we gonna get past these douchebags? They're patrolling in fours," Rabbit said.
"Remember, we have night vision, they don't. We'll use the night to sneak through, if necessary, we silently kill them with knives, rog'?"
