The ethnically-divided state of Chernarus collapses into chaos and internecine conflict after a rebel group in the Russian-speaking part of the country begins a surprisingly effective campaign of armed struggle against the government coupled with ethnic cleansing. The rebels wage war using both conventional and asymmetrical warfighting techniques and are soon able to bring the Chernarussian military to its knees. Desperate to stop the slaughter, Chernarus' leaders appeal to the outside world for help. A United States Marine Corps' Marine Expeditionary Unit is dispatched to put an end to the brutal conflict.
