"You'll back me up, right?"
This section contains spoilers for Battlefield 4.

Garrison sent Tombstone to Baku to retrieve vital information on Admiral Chang Wei. While Dunn was killed to retrieve this information, it told of how Chang was planning to overthrow the government and gain Russia's full support by blaming the U.S. for the assassination of Jin Jié. Much to Garrison's quiet anger, this information had already been known and was with held from him, meaning that Dunn's sacrifice was only to confirm the intel.

Garrison then debriefed Tombstone of this information and full filled Dunn's last wish to make Recker the squad leader of Tombstone. He then ordered the squad on a covert mission to Shanghai to extract three VIPs: CIA agent Laszlo W. Kovic, as well as Hannah and her husband. Tombstone was successful and returned to the Valkyrie with dozens of refugees that were stranded as a result of an EMP.

Garrison then set a course for the USS Titan as it could accommodate the refugees aboard the Valkyrie better. The Titan is quickly discovered to have been attacked by Chang's forces and is slowly sinking. Garrison orders Tombstone to board the ship and search for survivors and recover any information. He also makes Kovic Tombstone's temporary squad leader. While Tombstone is aboard the Titan, Chinese forces launch an attack on the Valkyrie, putting Garrison and the crew on the defensive. Thankfully, Tombstone returns and helps clear the ship of hostiles.

The Valkyrie's next destination is a Chinese-controlled airfield in Singapore with Garrison briefing Tombstone of the upcoming mission. As Kovic had died attempting to reclaim the USS Valkyrie's bridge with Tombstone, Hannah volunteers to join Tombstone, to which Garrison accepts. During the mission, however, Hannah betrays the squad, resulting in them being taken to a prison. Garrison, unaware of this, believes that the squad has been killed.

After Tombstone escapes the prison and makes it back to the Valkyrie, they find it under attack by Chinese and Russian forces. Garrison, Hannah's cover-up husband Jin Jié, and Pac (who was believed to have been killed in Singapore) are holed up in the ship's medical bay. Jin Jié manages to convince Garrison to let the Chinese soldiers see his face to make them cease fire on the ship. While successful, Chang is furious at Jin Jié's survival and orders ordnance to destroy the Valkyrie and bury the truth.

Recker, Irish, and Hannah volunteer to travel to Chang's warship to prevent the ordnance from destroying the Valkyrie. Unfortunately the remote denotation fails, forcing either Irish or Hannah to sacrifice themselves to save the Valkyrie by manually detonating the charges. If the player fails to choose either one, the Valkyrie is destroyed by Chang's ordnance, killing Garrison, Pac, and Jin Jié.

Trivia

  • In Battlefield 4: Countdown to War, it is revealed Garrison had a son named Tommy who had been killed in action eight years prior in Afghanistan during a mission for the CIA, under the command of Laszlo Kovic.
