| - In 2007, tensions among the East Asian powers reached a boiling point after the establishment of the Information Self-Defense Force by Japan, which was viewed by the People's Republic of China and North Korea as an effort to remilitarize Japan in direct violation of the postwar constitution. In response, the United States came to Japan's defense as North Korea and China began to harass Japanese shipping lanes across the South China Sea, sending the USS Clarence E. Walsh to the region as a show of solidarity with Japan. During the crisis however, the American PMC Displace International engineered an attack on the USS Walsh with a North Korean anti-ship missile commandeered through the use of information warfare, and crippling the USS Walsh's defensive systems through the same means. The resulting destruction of the vessel accelerated tensions in the region as the U.S. and its allies accused North Korea of launching an unprovoked attack, prompting North Korea to retaliate by invading South Korea and triggering a regional war amongst the competing powers. In trying to track down those responsible, Third Echelon sent Sam Fisher to Japan to determine Displace's intent, and discovered that its CEO Douglas Shetland had conspired with the Japanese I-SDF to ignite tensions in the region in order to expand their own control over East Asia. While Fisher was successful in tracking down and killing Shetland at a bathhouse in Tokyo, the I-SDF remained active and fearing that Japan was sanctioning its actions, Third Echelon sent Fisher to Kokubo Sosho to learn of their intentions.
