Eric Carter


 * For the lawyer, see Eric Carter (Chloe's Arrest).

Eric Carter was a United States Army Ranger who led a team sent to Yemen to capture the terrorist Ibrahim Bin-Khalid.

Mission in Yemen
Carter deployed by chopper to Ibrahim Bin-Khalid's compound at 2:54 a.m. local time, along with Ben Grimes, Stuart, Philman, and five other Rangers. Before landing, he waved off Grimes' questions about the nature of their assignment, and gave a message to Stuart for his wife Nicole in he case he didn't make it back.

After disembarking, Carter and his team made their way through an abandoned street to the northeast gate of the compound, where he ordered Philman to breach the door. Inside, he, Grimes, Philman and the two other Rangers exchanged fire with Bin-Khalid's men, who surrounded them. He and Philman went to a truck and provided covering fire for Grimes and the other rangers as they moved to the building on the far side.

After Grimes spotted Bin-Khalid and communications were cut, Carter checked in with Rebecca Ingram and informed her that Bin-Khalid had apparently been killed in an explosion. Ingram ordered Carter to get DNA swabs and evidence from the scene before exfiltrating. While they were surveying the wreckage, Ingram warned Carter that numerous hostiles were approaching the helicopter, and ordered them to retreat. Carter led the team back to the chopper with the evidence. The chopper was then almost hit by a RPG, but the missile flew through and detonated harmlessly in some ruins. Carter gave the signal to lift off as he and the other Rangers were airlifted out of the area.
