Former Delta Force member and Silver Star recipient, he is a CTU special agent in Los Angeles.
In the TV series, Bauer is a former Los Angeles Police Department SWAT team member, and a former member of the US Army's elite Delta Force. He now works as the Director of Field Operations for the CTU Los Angeles Domestic Unit. His latest mission is stopping a nationwide biological attack on the United States masterminded by former MI6 agent Steven Saunders.
Bauer formerly held the position of CTU Los Angeles Director during the attempted assassination of President (then Senator) David Palmer. During that day Bauer's wife Teri, and daughter Kim, were kidnapped by Victor Drazen, a man who Bauer thought he had killed in a covert mission in Kosovo years earlier. Bauer's colleague Nina Myers who turned out to be a traitor killed Teri Bauer before being arrested. Kim Bauer had escaped from the Drazens also. After that day, Jack Bauer was so saddened by Teri's death that he resigned as CTU Los Angeles Director, and became an inactive CTU agent.
