In the following year, Campbell retired as FOXHOUND commander for undisclosed reasons, although it is believed he was unhappy with the direction the unit was taken. In 2005, Campbell was called back to action by the US Government during the Shadow Moses takeover, when FOXHOUND (now led by Liquid Snake), took over a nuclear disposal facility and held several people hostages, including Campbell's niece, Meryl, who was assigned to the disposal facility on the day of the takeover. Campbell once again brought Snake out of retirement to neutralize the new FOXHOUND. However, during the course of the mission, Campbell was forced to keep a lot of secrets from Snake, including the true purpose of his mission and his injection with FOXDIE. Eventually, Campbell revealed the truth at the end of the mission and tried to call off an air strike directed to the base, but was briefly arrested by Secretary of Defense, Jim Houseman. However, after Snake defeated Liquid, Campbell was exonerated from charges, as blame was laid on the secretary of defense instead.
