He was a Forward Air Controller and served under the command of Sabre's team leader, Sergeant Ian Simmons.
Operation Harvest Red (2009)[]
In early October 2009, the 27th Marine Expeditionary Unit (27th MEU) would be deployed to the Green Sea in preparation for the counterinvasion of South Zagoria.[2] Prior to the main ground invasion, all Force Recon fireteams would be tasked with the goal of demolishing insurgent supply dumps and sabotaging coastal defences.[3]
Inserting behind enemy lines, Adamson's team would specifically target the village of Mogilevka before moving south towards the coast. At Prigorodki, another village near the base of the Pik Kozlova mountain, one of Adamson's team members were ambushed and pinned down by insurgents.[4]
Though their mission was compromised, a fellow Force Recon team, callsign Razor, were nearby to lend their support. Whilst Adamson's team member marked targets with smoke[4], Razor's members laser designated them to direct guided artillery strikes.[5] Once the targets were destroyed, Adamson's team moved in the direction of the regional capital of Chernogorsk. Chernarussian government troops and the 27th's ground elements were already besieging the city, and Adamson's team was called upon to assist allied forces.[6]
During the siege, all Force Recon teams in the city were notified of the whereabouts of the insurgent group's leader and his senior commanders. Razor Team was closer to the targets, however, leaving Adamson's team to remain on standby until the leaders were captured.[7]
Despite the supposed raid taking place, Razor's members failed to check in after securing the leaders. Shortly after, Adamson's team was notified that Razor's operatives were apprehended by the insurgents and had been transferred to a warehouse on the city limits. Sabre quickly moved into position to breach the warehouse.[8]

Sorry guys, he's gone.
Peter Adamson after checking Miles' vitals

After sweeping through the warehouse, Adamson checked the vitals of First Sergeant Patrick Miles, Razor's team leader.[8] Unfortunately, it was already too late for Miles. Adamson confirmed his death and was beyond his help.[9]
One week later, Adamson's team was reassigned to FOB Manhattan, a forward outpost built deep within the northern, insurgent-held areas of the province.[10] Just before they were about to board the Osprey at LZ Oregon, Adamson and the others watched in disbelief and amusement as Razor Team's members suddenly arrived on mountain bikes at the LZ.[11]
Not long afterwards, Sabre Team would also join them at FOB Manhattan. However, news of a terrorist bombing in the heart of the Russian Federation's capital, supposedly carried out by Chernarussian extremists, soon brings the MEU's deployment to a grinding halt.[1] With their intervention mandate revoked, the entirety of the MEU would be forced to evacuate within 48 hours to make way for Russian "peacekeepers".[12]
Death[]
Prior to departing, Captain Shaftoe assigns one final mission to Adamson's team. They were to retrieve an individual, a ChDKZ defector called "Spukayev", who wanted to reveal vital information about the terrorist attack in Moscow.[13] Adamson's team brought back the man to the FOB successfully and waited for Razor's members to bring back documents from the defector's safehouse in Krasnostav.[14]
Without warning, the FOB is suddenly bombarded by a hail of grenades and Adamson is incapacitated by gunfire from unknown assailants. Knocked into a daze, he is soon awoken and dragged away for interrogation by a mysterious blond-haired man. The man - seemingly Russian in appearance, demanded to know the whereabouts of Razor Team's members. Adamson's team refused to answer, and the blond operative stabbed them one-by-one in a fit of rage.[15] By the time Razor Team returned, Adamson was already deceased, having passed away from severe blood loss.[16]
Personality and Appearance[]

An African-American male, Adamson had a black head of hair and wore a woodland-camouflaged bandanna. He wore a Rhodesian Recon Vest (RRV) plate carrier, sage green-coloured Flame Resistant Organizational Gear (FROG) uniform, an olive green shemagh, and MARPAT-camouflaged pants. For direct assault missions, Adamson wore a tan-coloured MICH combat helmet instead.
Trivia[]
Adamson is one of the few named USMC characters who dons multiple outfits, varying from the "assault" gear during the warehouse assault where he makes his first appearance, and the standard recon outfit show later on in One Week Later and Bitter Chill.

Sabre's man will pop red smoke at the command structure any time now. After that he's gonna bug out and mark secondary targets for you to lase, understood?"

We're on the outskirts of Cherno' right now. That's also why your still here, boys. [...] Sorry guys, I need every infantry unit I can lay my hands on for the assault on the city."

[...] Spotters have eyes-on a high value target entering a warehouse at 065125. Your team's the nearest SOC unit I have so you get the duty, over. [...] The spotter in that area is callsign Scarecrow. He'll guide you in when you're near the target, over."
↑ARMA 2 2009 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Operation Harvest Red, Manhattan, "The Chernarussian Defence Force is in control of the majority of the country thanks to the swift and decisive involvement of the USMC. However, insurgency is on the increase. The Krasnostav area is still seeing heavy counter-insurgency fighting between the CDF, ChDKZSotnya remnants and NAPA guerilla groups. Although enemies of the ChDKZ, there is no 'official' line concerning the NAPA group's attitude toward the USMC and it's allies. They should be approached with caution. The ChDKZ are operating from the forests that dominate this area of operation, popping up for occasional hit and run strikes on weak targets. Forward Operating Base 'Manhattan' has been established east of the town of Krasnostav to deal with the conflict in this area. Immediate USMC intervention is needed to assist the CDF who largely lack the appropriate counter-insurgency training for this area of operations. Our role in the AO is to find and eliminate key ChDKZ personnel, camps, strong-points and supporters. Razor Team will redeploy from Elektrozavodsk and rendezvous at FOB Manhattan checkpoint 'Brooklyn'. From there Razor should report to Capt. Shaftoe re: their deployment in the AO."
↑ARMA 2 2009 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Operation Harvest Red, One Week Later, "COOPER: That's it, Simmons, we won! You can't beat The Four Riders, face it! SIMMONS: Looks that way. Congrats on this big achievement, Razor, next time Shaftoe will look for a liaison man, I will recommend you! COOPER: Dismount and to the Osprey! We have work to do. See you, Sabre!"
↑ARMA 2 2009 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Operation Harvest Red, Bitter Chill, "The 27th MEU is leaving Chernarussian territory today, 17. October 2009 at 1700hrs, to be replaced by Russian Federationpeacekeepers. The Kremlin claimed that USMC forces were incapable of controlling terrorist organizations - namely NAPA - convincing the UN to rescind it's approval. Many feel the Russians would have invaded anyway and that the UN complied so as not to seem toothless should the Federation act unilaterally. Without UN backing, the US feel forced to abandon Chernarus to the Russians. After the attack on Moscow sympathy and support for this position is widespread, with global public opinion and many national governments supporting the move. Razor Team will secure FOB Manhattan until it is dismantled and will then transfer directly to the Khe Sanh, leaving the region via the Khardaran strait. The transition from US to Russian control will of necessity be chaotically swift, USEUCOM has ordered there be no contact between the two powers."
↑ARMA 2 2009 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Operation Harvest Red, Bitter Chill, "Simmons, I'm sending your team in after him. Cooper, Spukayev has a safehouse west of Krasnostav at 028104. I want you to take Razor and recover those files. [...] Simmons, Spukayev himself is at Khelm so your part in this won't take long. Rendezvous with him there and provide a safe escort back here for extraction."
↑ARMA 2 2009 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Operation Harvest Red, Bitter Chill, "Razor this is Sabre, message over. [...] Hey boys, just thought you'd like to know we're back at Manhattan already. Just getting ready to bug out with Spukayev here, Manhattan's..."
↑ARMA 2 2009 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Operation Harvest Red, Bitter Chill, "I didn't even get a shot off. I was on the horn to you, heard a bunch of thumps, then it started raining grenades. When I came round most of the guys were dead, there were 'dakis picking through the mess. Some of them looked like Russian Spetsnaz too. Right gear, right face. Should've guessed the Reds would fuck us. [...] They were asking for you! By your damn names. You guys are so fucked! There was this one really blond guy, Russian for sure. "Are you Razor? Where is Cooper?" He flipped when we wouldn't tell him, just went down the line and knifed us, one, two, three, like that. I'm pretty screwed, right Scarlet?"
