ArmA: Armed Assault's Rahmadi Conflict has players take control of U.S. Marine special forces operative Sergeant Leon Ortega. It was added with the release of the Queen's Gambit expansion pack.
North Sahrani's military has been routed and its leader captured. Allied forces are now beginning search-and-destroy operations to root out the last remaining cells of SLA resistance left on the island nation of Sahrani.
Summary[]
One day after the capture and fall of North Sahrani leader Prime Minister Torrez, U.S. intelligence has worked around the clock to find any remaining cells of the SLA.
However, it was reported that during the Battle of Bagango, a large group of SLA forces had escaped through the woods towards the coast. Fortunately, intelligence sources were able to track them to the island of Rahmadi not too far away from the Sahrani mainland. The commanding officer of the USMC's 27th Marine Expeditionary Unit, Colonel Davis, immediately made plans to deploy special forces teams to hunt them down.
« | The government wants to end this Sahrani story as soon as possible, so we have orders to seize Rahmadi. Col. Davis briefs Nightwolf and Flash Team
|
» |
Nonetheless, before the invasion could actually commence, the shoreline needed to be secured as there were too many anti-air defences protecting the island. With no CAS available on hand, it fell down to the MEU's elite special forces units to clear the way first. Sergeant Leon Ortega, team leader of Nightwolf, prepares to move out under the cover of the morning darkness with the aid of a second unit, callsign Flash Team.

Nightwolf prepares to infiltrate Rahmadi's coast.
Quietly infiltrating the coast via boats, Nightwolf and Flash Team coordinate their attacks to simultaneously destroy their targets with satchel charges.
When the coast was clear, Sgt. Ortega gave the green light for U.S. forces to proceed with their amphibious landing. The remaining SLA defenders are quickly eliminated soon after, and combat engineers are ferried in to begin establishing their forward camp.

With the camp fully established, a trickle of reinforcements begin to flow in.
As the sun rose, the U.S. camp is fully built and additional troops begin landing onto the shore. With no new orders having come through just yet, Ortega meets with his commanding officer to get more information on their current situation.
Captain Carrey tells Ortega that the SLA remnants were indeed being led by an unknown individual. According to former PM Torrez, he divulged to U.S. intelligence that he had only invaded the South under the direct orders of a man named Ramirez, who was the former president of the North before his sudden disappearance.

Ortega receives new orders to find former President Ramirez.
Ortega is soon ordered to meet with Sgt. Statham who has new orders for him and his team. The SLA were mounting a counteroffensive and were due to arrive soon, but Ramirez was rumoured to have been spotted hiding in a village nearby. Ortega's team needed to hunt down the elusive leader and at the same time, destroy the remaining AA batteries inside the village if they could.
« | Listen guys, we have a target. Its the president and he should be somewhere in a village to the north. Don't shoot him, we need him alive. Now follow me! Ortega
|
» |
Ortega's team make their way towards the village just as the SLA mounts its attack on the camp. They destroy the remaining AA vehicles, but are forced to fight against many SLA defenders guarding the village. Finally after several more fierce firefights, Nightwolf breaches its defences and begin conducting a search house-by-house.
However, rather than Ramirez, Ortega only stumbles into a lone SLA officer attempting to make a getaway. After violently threatening the man, he reveals that Ramirez had already left the island hours before, and was heading towards another island called Porto, which was located 72 kilometres away from Rahmadi.
Ortega reports his findings and Nightwolf is soon picked up by a helicopter to ferry them immediately to the island. On the flight in, Ortega is updated on their current status - the president was planning to escape onto a ship to flee for good, but there were nine ships spotted docked all around it.

Nightwolf races toward the city centre in an attempt to stop the massacre.
« | Yankees! Damn! Captain Vega, we need more time. Send your men to the city to make chaos, it will delay the Americans! Ramirez orders his men to kill civilians in the city
|
» |
Time was running out fast for Nightwolf and to make matters worse, intercepted communications revealed that Ramirez had ordered his subordinates to delay the Americans by massacring the citizens in Porto's main city; hoping it would prevent them from being able to continue their pursuit.
Fortunately for Porto's citizens, Nightwolf are able to put a stop to Ramirez' plans by taking out his elite Especas units. After stopping the massacres, Ortega spots a suspicious vehicle speeding away from the city in the direction of the coast. Chasing after the vehicle themselves, Nightwolf are able to immobilise the car and force its passenger to disembark at gunpoint.
« | Ortega: Hands in the air! Don't try anything! Now you're gonna atone for every barbarity you've done! Ramirez: We both know that I personally did nothing. Ortega: You know what? You disappointed me, Richie! You are more a politician than a soldier. Ortega captures Ramirez
|
» |
To their pleasant surprise, the passenger turns out to be none other than Ramirez himself. Ortega quickly restrains the man and reports in his success back to headquarters. Additional U.S. reinforcements soon arrive to take the former president away into their custody.
