General, you are no match for me, I own the skies!
- Granger, the US Air Force General

General Malcolm 'Ace' Granger is a 4-star general in the US Air Force during the GLA Conflict. He was 62 years old by that time.[1]

Background[]

The son of an Iowa crop duster, General Malcolm Granger's flying career began at the age of 12, when he borrowed his father's biplane to go to the state fair in Kansas City. As a lieutenant in the First Iraq War, Granger earned his first notices for knocking out four SAMs in a single afternoon. As he moved up the Air Force ranks, Granger earned a reputation for advancing the role of fighting aircraft in the U.S. military.[2]

Even-tempered yet uncompromising, Granger has developed novel techniques in fuel management and resource deployment during air superiority operations. Those techniques have been used with success in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other theaters. His squadrons are known for precision execution and a strong will to complete the mission.[2]

Stationed at Fort Belmont, Houston, Texas, Granger's Class Number is 08291102-HBGB.[2]

Overview[]

Malcolm Granger boasts the multipurpose marvel of the US aerial assets, often to the point that he sees little to no purpose with spending resources on full ground assault and the majority of strategies to apply to them. Although it comes at a price of having to adjust to using such tactics and proposing techniques to fend off the opposing counterattacks, Granger, nevertheless, pushes through a battle plan of swiftness and shock-and-awe. Under Granger's command is where in-and-out strategies are of the highlight, employing veterans to pilot advanced fighters and bombers, that can appear and engage from out of nowhere and still return safely to air bases to prepare for another attack run on designated locations, and special gunships and transports to simultaneously execute territorial control.
