History

National Airport

In the aftermath of the failed New Russian Federation uprising of 2015, the eastern United States was attacked by remnants of the air forces of the NRF, led by colonel Andrei Markov. The city of Miami came under attack in the early hours of January 18, 2016, but ended in failure as the Warwolf Squadron of Task Force 108 and the United States Air Force fought off the bulk of the invasion force. The attack in Miami, however, was a distraction from the main assault on Washington, D.C, which was invaded by a second group of New Russian Federation forces sometime after. After chasing a fleeing Markov through the coast of Hollywood, the survivors of Warwolf arrived to the city at 15:00PM, just as a massive battle was raging between the American and NRF forces around the region.

As the situation died down after minutes of fighting, Colonel Markov entered Washington in an attempt to launch the last surviving Trinity missile. Bishop pursed Markov through the city as the two exchanged gunfire, and the latter was killed after releasing Trinity. Initially unaware of the weapon's release, William pursued the missile and barely succeeded in shooting it off-course, causing it to land and explode in the nearby Tidal Basin.
