On an overseas tour in Europe to entertain and add morale to the troops, Rogers discovers that a unit, including his best friend Bucky Barnes, was captured and is being held prisoner by Hydra. Determined to do more to help the war effort, Rogers disobeys orders and leads a raid on the Hydra facility where he frees Barnes and other members of the 107th and encounters the Red Skull. The Red Skull flees after their encounter.

Returning to camp with the prisoners, Rogers is promoted to Captain and recruits an attack team, including Bucky, to take out other Hydra bases. Howard Stark upgrades Roger’s shield to the familiar circular shield made of vibranium. Rogers and his team lead ever more successful attacks eventually capturing Dr. Arnim Zola on a train heist. Unfortunately, Bucky seemingly falls to his death during the raid.

During a battle to take out a missile headed for New York, Roger’s defeats the Red Skull but has no way to stop the missile other than plunging it into the arctic ocean.
