Modern Warfare 3 Operators are unlocked by completing challenges, finishing campiagn missions, or by purchasing Battle Passes and store bundles.

At launch, there were 25 new Operators added as part of Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer release. Handily, you can also use your Modern Warfare 2 Operators while playing the sequel's multiplayer modes, and in Warzone. There will also be new Operators added every season.

Operators are split across two teams called SpecGru and KorTac, and you have access to some of them when first loading into Modern Warfare 3. However, you need to unlock most of them by playing the game and by purchasing bundles or Battle Passes from the store.

Below, we've got a list of all Modern Warfare 3 Operators and how to unlock them, which includes every previously released Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone Operator.
