Hastings's team
Six Tier 1 operators are among Echo's passengers. Colonel Hastings leads the United Earth component and is selected to train the broader volunteer force for clandestine missions against the Flaxens.[1]
Operations
Hastings and six veterans of the war extracted Serilda and Megan from Camp Skadi. Almost fifty Marines later raided the Aconcagua weapons facility using thermal camouflage, coordinated crescents, silent microwave fire, and advanced breaching equipment. They lost Huel Jenkins and captured four Flaxens.[2][3]
