About Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter:
The face of war has changed. Enemy lines blur and there is no longer a clear
opponent. New enemies and new threats require a new type of warfare - a new
type of soldier. Enter the Ghosts. In 2013, the U.S. Army will implement the
Integrated Warfighter System (IWS) evolving what we know as the modern soldier.
IWS combines advanced weapon systems, satellite communication devices and
enhanced survivability into one fully integrated combat system. The IWS program
has been developed to meet these new threats head on. Now, it can be tested on
the battlefield. Following an insurgence in the heart of Mexico City, the U.S.
Army’s most elite Special Forces team is deployed to the center of the
conflict to regain control of the city. Greatly outnumbered but fully equipped
with the IWS, this elite team is the first and last line of defense on the
battlefield. They are the “quiet” professionals. They are the Ghosts.
