Alan Strickman

"'Strickman’s a living legend, and Iceland isn’t exactly a hive of Hybrid activity. If Operation Stranglehold is successful, I think it would be in our best interests to persuade him to join us on the Mother Earth, where his talents can be put to better use.' - Captain John Miller, 1st Regiment."

Alan Strickman is a Colonel of the Resistance.

UEN Forces
He first saw active service as a private of Government forces during the Second American Civil War of 2231 and earned a number of commendations for bravery from his superiors. When this conflict ended in 2233 and the first UEN world government was formed, the now Lieutenant Strickman was one of the first officers hand picked to lead its elite peacekeeping units.

He saw action in a number of campaigns across the globe, notably the battle for Iceland in 2241, when extremists seized control of the local government. He later retired to the city of Reykjavík at age 60 following the dissolution of the UEN government, and the economic collapse which heralded the years of rioting and political instability that persisted until the Hybrid conquest of Earth.

Resistance
After humanity’s defeat, Strickman gathered together as many survivors as possible and formed one of the largest guerilla units in the Northern Hemisphere.

Trivia

 * The commander of a guerrilla unit near Iceland, Colonel Strickman is a "living legend," and has a key role in Operation Stranglehold, as he supplies men, weapons, and vehicles. He is an NPC infantry unit, and while not very strong, he will always come out on top in a fight; it just might take a while. He and his men were in Iceland near the Hybrid facility featured in Act 1 before it was built, and have established a carefully disguised base on-site. It resembles a disused car repair shop, but actually extends far underground. General Dem is surprised by the poor condition of the base, but Strickman insists that "it's what's on the inside that counts," showing Dem the highly modern and efficient interior.
 * Due to his accent, he may be from Britain.
 * He gives the player a tutorial on building a base in Strategy mode.
