Biography
In 2010, Ricks was a member of the SEAL Team 5 and was assigned to Echo Platoon, NSW Group One aboard the USS Freedom. One day, the USS Freedom finds a Liberian cargo ship called the Emerald Endeavor sailing from the Philippines toward North Korea with its Automatic Identification System disabled, a violation of maritime law. Ricks and his platoon are dispatched to board the ship and secure its cargo. They find parts for an intercontinental ballistic missile similar in design to the missile North Korea recently test-fired, which is a violation of UN resolutions.
The seizure later leads North Korea Supreme Leader Choi Ji-hoon to meet with General Ri Tae-jin and order the assassination of U.S. President Jack Ryan. Meanwhile, President Ryan meets with his security advisors to discuss next steps to address North Korea. It is decided that they will push for further sanctions in the UN.
