Official Press Release : "War has begun on Russian soil and threatens to encompass the globe. Lead an elite infantry team through a series of military missions around the world, ranging from covert actions to search-and-rescue operations, to all-out firefights in this first-person squad-based action game."

"The whole storyline revolves around old-school Russians trying to get power back." A militaristic group comes to power in Russia in 2008 and begins to arm insurgents in neighbouring territories. When the insurgents begin to agitate, the saber-rattlers in Moscow have a perfect pretext to step in and use military force to reassert their influence in several former Eastern Bloc territories. The Ghost Recon squad (loosely based on the US Army's Land Warrior program) steps in to save the day."
