Gobi Campaign

The Gobi Campaign was an operation conducted by the U.S. after the unsuccessful Chinese invasion of Alaska in 2066. It took place in or near the Gobi Desert.

Background
The objective was to invade the Gobi Desert in China, and take out the Chinese bases there. A heavily modified sniper rifle, the Gobi Campaign scout rifle, was brought along during the operation (it is not known if this rifle was a standard weapon or not). The outcome of the mission is unknown, although it can be inferred by the presence of the rifle in the Mojave Wasteland that at least some of the U.S. soldiers survived, or the mission was never initiated.

Appearances
The Gobi Campaign is mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
Although the majority of the Gobi Campaign took place in China, the Gobi Desert itself only covers the southern half of Mongolia. However, China is mentioned to have annexed other nations before the Great War, in a manner similar to the United States' annexation of Canada.
