Description
Rooster, a retired Military Policeman, begins a career as a Physical Security Specialist working for the State Department in Baghdad, Iraq. Tasked with guarding access and security for the U.S. Embassy, at Saddam Hussain's Republican Palace, He must keep himself and his guard force alive while dodging rocket attacks, and responding to explosive devices to complete his mission. As the first line of defense for entry to the Embassy compound, Rooster will have to navigate U.S. State Department politics, while handling officials from a fledgling Iraqi government steeped in ancient culture, as well as respecting the requirements of coalition government officials and representatives without ruffling too many feathers or causing an international incident.
