Shepherd mentioned as still working with Price and Laswell in Spec Ops. Shepherd, the American military commander who betrays Task Force 141 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. We could see the next CoD game focus entirely on Al-Asad, which could easily dovetail into a story with similar events to the original Modern Warfare trilogy-which, you might recall, ended with a world war between the US and Russia. It's not clear right now if that means the next game in Infinity Ward's new Modern Warfare timeline will have similar events to the 2007 game, but it's definitely possible. That means we're seeing Al-Asad at an earlier point in the progression of the original Modern Warfare's story, before he gains enough power to take over a country. It seems your goal in that mode is to fight him and his terrorist organization. Al-Asad is not a major player in most of the rebooted Modern Warfare, but he does show up at the end of the game in the cooperative Spec Ops mode.
A big part of that game is about taking Al-Asad down, which results in him launching a nuclear weapon against American and coalition forces fighting to stop him in his country. The original Modern Warfare kicked off with a coup in a Middle Eastern country, led by Kaled Al-Asad, one of the game's villains. This is the biggest indcator that Modern Warfare 2019 takes on the role of something of an origin story: Task Force 141 is only an idea at the end of Modern Warfare 2019 and the events of this new game spur its creation. You join the squad as John "Soap" MacTavish and run through a training simulator before joining the squad on a mission. If you're familiar with the original Modern Warfare, you know that in that game, Task Force 141 is already fully up and running, and operating in the world.
Price has a name for the squad: Task Force 141. Price discusses setting up a new squad, one that will be able to operate around the world to deal with crises without implication particular governments with its actions. In it, we see series mainstay Captain Price talking with CIA agent Kate Laswell, both of whom are major characters in the reboot. Much of the information about Modern Warfare 2019's placement in a new, rebooted franchise timeline comes from the post-credits scene at the end of its campaign.
