The Shock and Awe was the penultimate mission where Sgt Paul Jackson, along with his squad under the leadership of Lt Vasquez, tried to capture Khaled Al-Asad, the antagonist, in his capital city. In that mission, after a deadly fight with Khaled Al-Asad’s squad, Sgt Paul Jackson and his team — including Sgt Griggs — tried to escape due to the nuclear threat which was informed by SEAL Team 6.
There were multiple helicopters present at the scene for the rescue, and Sgt Griggs was in one of them that left the area early before the blast occurred. The other chopper stayed back to save the downed pilots and squad members.
Since there is no official explanation, we can assume Sgt Griggs survived due to his location at the time of the explosion. The mission shows that the nuclear blast was sudden and unexpected, but not all members of the squad, including Sgt Griggs, were present at its epicenter.
