"Locate and secure the U.S. Vice President for immediate extraction."
— Level description


"Goalpost" is the ninth mission of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It is also the first mission in Act 2. In the aftermath of the chemical attacks, the player-character Derek "Frost" Westbrook and other members of the Delta Force fight through Hamburg, Germany to secure the Vice President of the United States from being a hostage.

Plot

In the starting cutscene, it is revealed that not only has London been exposed to the gas attack, but similar attacks have also been reported throughout Europe, causing most intelligence agencies to go offline. One of these is the GIGN HQ in Satory, France; Commander Morel while in a distressed state, reports that most of the GIGN members situated there are dead or wounded. The U.S. Army quickly and rapidly respond by sending Decontamination Units and Teams of Army Rangers who act as Quick Reaction Forces (QRF) before the situation abruptly escalates. A major U.S. Air Force base in Ramstein, Germany reports that the "entire Russian army" is sweeping across Eastern and Western Europe. The media similarly reports that an amphibious invasion of the entire European continent is underway. The U.S. military concludes that the gas attacks was not an act of terrorism, but intended to cripple Europe's defenses and pave a way for Russia to invade. The invasion coincides with the Russo-American peace conference that was to be hosted in Hamburg; as seen in "Turbulence", the Russian President was captured by Makarov; similarly, the American delegate at the conference has apparently been captured, as communication with the delegation has been lost. The primary objective of the U.S. forces deployed to Germany is to rescue the delegate-- the Vice President.

To that end, Frost, Sandman and other Delta Force members are flown in to Hamburg in a Black Hawk, along with other Black Hawks, Ospreys, LCACs, M1A2-Abrams Tanks, F-15 Eagles, AH-64 Apaches and infantry units. Russian flak turrets and missiles mercilessly fire and a portion of the American aircraft participating in the assault, including an Osprey near Metal's Black Hawk, are destroyed. After landing, Delta Force, U.S Army Rangers, and the U.S.M.C. tank unit Rhino advance up the beach while under fire from Russian defensive positions.

As Rhino 1 and Rhino 2 start to advance toward the parking garage, enemy forces start to retreat into it, making them easy targets. The tanks clear the ground floor, with Rhino 2 at one point ramming straight through a toll booth. However, when the two tanks try to ascend via a ramp in the parking garage, the ramp collapses under the weight and sends Rhino 2 crashing down, with Frost narrowly avoiding being crushed by a falling car, he disembarks to find everyone still combat effective. Sandman arrives and he and Frost, along with the tank crew, fight their way out of the parking lot and back on the streets to continue to their objective.

Once Frost, Sandman and the tank crew are on the streets again, an F-15 immediately takes out a Mig-29 as other F-15's over the area provide quick strafe runs and dogfights while an enemy T-90 arrives and opens fire, but is quickly destroyed when Rhino 1 emerges from a building. However, the victory is short lived, as Rhino 1 is destroyed by mortar fire. The U.S forces hurry inside a destroyed building. After clearing all hostiles from the office building, the artillery that is bombing Delta and Ranger's position are quickly destroyed by a pair of F-15 Eagles, the U.S forces emerge again onto a street, where they fight the last pocket of resistance with the assist of a pack of AH-64 Apache helicopters.

After turning a corner, the remains of the Vice-President's convoy are found, but the Rhino 2 gunner said it was nothing there. Sandman tells Overlord that the Vice President isn't at the convoy, so he tells him that they have to check the area for delegates before Raptor 4 will be at station for exfil for 10 minutes. Later Rhino 2 gunner noticed a blood trail leading to upstairs, the Delta Force then heads into the building, and once higher up, they see the Russians defending a room. The Russians see the Americans coming and they quickly close the door, intending to execute all the hostages. Sandman and his team breach the room and rescue the Vice President in a slow motion-style shootout. After that, the Vice President, which has now been saved by the Delta Team. Raptor 4, an MV-22 Osprey being overwatched by F-15's, then arrives to exfil the troops and the Vice President.
