Task Force 141, colloquially referred to as "The One-Four-One," is a multinational

special operations unit composed of members of British, Australian, United States,

Canadian and possibly other foreign personnel, usually those with previous Special
Ops experience. Its members serve as the principal protagonists of Call of Duty:
Modern Warfare 2, in which their main objective is to apprehend or eliminate
Vladimir Makarov, a Russian Ultranationalist responsible for masterminding a
Russian invasion of the United States. In 2016, its members participated in notable
special operations in Kazakhstan, Moscow, Rio de Janeiro, a Gulag and a submarine
base in the Kamchatka Peninsula, the Georgian-Russian border, and Afghanistan.

Notably during August 15th, 2016, General Shepherd betrayed Task Force 141;
subsequently all the remaining members of Task Force 141 were either eliminated or
on the run at the conclusion of the crisis. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the
survivors united with Russian Loyalists to continue with their main objective.
