The primary defensive force for all metahumanity against the swarm during the conflict. Drafting a small number of unofficial mercenary forces for initial aid, the Army's response was rife with political strife, bureaucratic lethargy and indecisiveness on commanding officers not wanting to jeopardize their careers on anything except the most certain of operations. This led to unnecessary losses and stalling during the campaign.

Despite this, he was under extreme stress to not screw up the career-defining military operation. He shouldered much of the blame for the higher than expected casualty rate, but shot back at the accusations by calling out many of the other officers for looking after their own benefit more than the war theatre's overall health. His support in the Army hierarchy has dropped in the months following the Kansas Swarm's defeat leaving the general embittered regarding the corrupt upper brass.
	* The '''1st Infantry Division''' was a combined arms division of the United States Army and continues in that role under UCAS control. It is also the oldest continuously serving division in the Regular Army. It has seen continuous service since its original organization in 1917 during World War I. It was officially nicknamed "The Big Red One" (abbreviated "BRO") after its shoulder patch and is also nicknamed "The Fighting First." The division has also received troop monikers of "The Big Dead One" and "The Bloody First" as puns on the respective officially sanctioned nicknames.		* The '''1st Infantry Division''' was a combined arms division of the United States Army and continues in that role under UCAS control.
