In the mission " The Defector ", Woods led the team to Hue City to recover a Soviet defector along with a dossier that would unravel Dragovich's master plan. While they managed to recover the dossier, extraction became a fight for their lives amid a massive assault by the NVA on Hue City. Following on the intel disclosed by the dossier, Woods led the SOG team to Laos to uncover Soviet presence there, specifically those concerning Project Nova headed by Kravchenko , under orders from Dragovich.

But it was at Laos, during the mission " Crash Site ", Woods and the team found the shot-down Soviet cargo plane that carried Nova 6 , but were subsequently captured by Dragovich and Kravchenko's men after a firefight. During " Payback ", Woods and Mason used the chance when they were forced to play Russian Roulette by the Viet Cong to stage their escape.

They then proceed to take a Hind from Soviet forces, and destroy several supply stops for North Vietnamese forces along the way to Kravchenko's compound. In the final part of the mission when Woods and Mason are attempting to kill Kravchenko in his office, Mason was brutally beaten when Woods, sneaking up behind Kravchenko, stabs Kravchenko in the back. At his last breath, Kravchenko pulls a string attached to the pins of the grenade belt strapped to his body.

Thinking quickly, Woods tackles Kravchenko out of the window, apparently sacrificing himself to save Mason as the grenades explode.

Woods is presumed dead by everyone, including Mason and later by Hudson and Weaver during their interrogation of him. In reality, both Frank Woods and Lev Kravchenko survived their confrontation; Woods managed to get Kravchenko's grenade belt loose and used the loading bay next to the window to get the grenade belt over it, using it as a "Sump" so the wall can absorb the grenade and create little damage to Woods.

Despite his knife wound, Kravchenko was able to recover more quickly than Woods, capturing him and sending him to the Hanoi Hilton. In a message from a mysterious informant codenamed " X " to Mason, Woods was reported as being the only American prisoner at the Hanoi Hilton. By , he was the last of 17 prisoners.

Following a debrief with President Ronald Reagan , Hudson authorizes an operation to hunt down Perseus and stop the potential threat. After returning from a mission in Kiev with Mason, Woods accompanies Bell in an infiltration into a secret Spetsnaz training facility, where the two discover intelligence regarding Operation Greenlight, a secret contingency plan by the United States Government to detonate neutron bombs all across major European cities in order to deny the Soviet Union from claiming them.

Returning from the mission, an enraged Woods punches Hudson while demanding answers about Greenlight's nature. While his distrust for Hudson grows further, he continues to work with the team regardless on finding Perseus.

Woods and Mason are later deployed to Dragovich's Yamantau base in order to search for a mainframe containing the location of all remaining sleeper agents. Though they succeed in recovering the mainframe, Perseus has managed to wipe out the data, forcing Adler and Bell to go undercover in the Lubyanka Building in order to find the intel. In the midst of this operation, Woods and Mason are also deployed on two separate missions to eliminate two of Perseus's top ranking officers, Robert Aldrich and Vadim Rudnik.

Following an unsuccessful operation in Cuba, an injured Bell is taken back to the CIA safehouse in Berlin, where they are interrogated by Adler, leading to their real identity as Perseus's agent revealed. Bell can either tell the truth to Adler about Perseus's plan, or lie and trick them into chasing a false lead.

In both options, Woods participates in the final mission. Despite knowing of their past and what Adler had just done to them, "Bell" states that Perseus is operating on the Solovetsky Islands. Bell didn't radio Soviet troops to ambush Adler's group. Angry, Adler executed Bell leaving their body for Perseus to find as the team left the facility with disappointment.

With Europe in chaos, President Reagan learned that documents related to Operation Greenlight were leaked anonymously, but seemingly by Perseus, showing the nukes were made by the United States and destroying their reputation around the world. Reagan ordered that anything related to the operation should be erased forever as the Berlin safehouse was burned down by Hudson and the CIA.

During planning, Bell radios the Soviet Base to plan for an ambush. On March 15, at Duga, the team berated Bell for lying to them. Adler was disappointed in Bell due to how much faith he had in them. Bell then signaled the ambush, in which they were briefly knocked out by an RPG but later regained consciousness and is helped up by a Soviet officer wearing a gas mask. Bell then proceeded to execute Mason, Woods and possibly either Park or Lazar.

After most of the team was killed, Bell followed the officer into a building while the other Soviets wipe out the remaining American troops. The Soviet told Bell that Adler fled into the building. They managed to find Adler who was fatally wounded. Adler asked Bell to hand him his lighter so he can light a cigarette one last time. Whether Bell chose to or not, Adler was killed by them and the officer revealed his identity as Perseus. Bell, now reunited with Perseus, was allowed to personally order the Greenlight nuclear arsenal's detonation.

The two discussed their plans for the future of a Greater Russia and left Duga together. Upon discovering a cache of Nova-6, the squad is ambushed by Stitch and his men, who successfully capture Adler, while the rest manage to escape. After assisting Karla Rivas in fighting off Perseus's troops, lead by Kapano "Naga" Vang , the squad heads into the nearby village, where they find fake Nova-6 caches and torture devices, indicating what Adler might have gone through. The team interrogates the remaining survivors of Naga's men, going as far as killing them, and learns that Adler has been transported to Verdansk.

On June 10, , Woods finally located Adler in Verdansk and rescued him, killing several of Perseus' men in the process. Ten days later, Woods accompanied Adler, Park, Bulldozer and newcomer Jabari Salah to investigate a satellite crash site in Algeria, after they were de-orbited from space.

Unbeknownst to Woods and the others, Adler secretly secured a data recorder from the crashed satellite. Menendez tortured Woods, killing his men in front of him, in order to learn what the CIA knew about Menendez.

Halfway in the mission, Woods grew angry and only focused on killing Menendez. They intruded the place and Woods attempted to kill Menendez once he saw him but Mason restrained him. Woods managed to throw a grenade but it was knocked off it's course by Mason and bounced into Menendez' room where Menendez' sister, Josefina was. After the explosion, Woods found out about the girl and deeply regretted the murder.

Woods, at the age of 59, went to Panama with Mason to capture Manuel Noriega , a high value target that was codenamed False Profit, who was highly involved with Menendez' arms dealings. They managed to capture him and escort him to safety where they told him to set up a meeting with Menendez where Menendez would be blinded and shot by Woods.

Woods climbed up a building and saw their target's head bagged and restrained by Noriega's men. Woods shot the man, and exited the building and walks towards the corpse.

During their walk, Noriega smiled, which made Woods increasingly suspicious. Woods brought out a handgun on Noriega but was shot in his right knee by the actual Menendez, who continued to shoot Woods' other leg, disabling him for life.

Woods continued to struggle but is knocked unconscious. Menendez said that one more person had to die out of those three, and if there wasn't a decision then all of them would be killed. Hudson sacrificed himself, and after killing him, Menendez showed David the pendant he was wearing.

Menendez then told David that he should go to Menendez the next time he sees it. David snapped out of his trance, saw his dead father, and started crying. Woods crawled towards the boy to comfort him. Following this operation, Woods was honorably discharged, giving him a chance to raise David himself as he had no other family to go to.
