Intro. Task Force 141, colloquially referred to as "The One-Four-One," is a multinational special operations unit. Its members serve as the principal protagonists of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, in which their main objective is to apprehend or eliminate Vladimir Makarov, a Russian Ultranationalist responsible for masterminding the Russian invasion of the United States.
The commanding officer of Task Force 141 appears to be Lieutenant General Shepherd, a U.S. Army officer who spearheads the Task Force's operations. SAS Captain John "Soap" MacTavish served as the Task Force's Company/Field Commander between 2013 and 2016. Additional soldiers from the Special Air Service such as Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley and Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson were recruited to serve as operators during field missions. After his liberation from the Petropavlovsk Gulag, Captain John Price of the Special Air Service served as another field commander.
