USA

Biodata

Background / History

The USA enters the alien conflict as a major Pacific power, but the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group suffers a serious early setback. This damages confidence in the U.S. military and leaves its Pacific island-chain strategy vulnerable to the alien presence. 13 37

After Pacific routes are disrupted, Hawaii becomes the United States' exposed forward position: it lacks strategic depth, depends on maritime supply, and faces alien forces without supporting island pivots. 57 131

The war forces the USA into strategic contraction. It withdraws forces from parts of the Asia-Pacific and Middle East to strengthen homeland and West Coast defense, creating power vacuums among former partners. 169 174 184

Military Operations

Sky Pit Offensive

• The USA deploys the Truman and Bush carrier strike groups and 60 F-18 fighters against Sky Pit entities; its airstrike eliminates the Sentinel force. 119 121
• Earlier, it restores two carrier battle groups partly by salvaging usable components from the damaged Carl Vinson and fitting them onto other carriers. 112
• U.S. forces initially regard the Sentinel engagement as a major victory, until AI analysis identifies it as a test preceding a larger alien offensive. 121

Defense of Hawaii

• Hawaii is reinforced with F-16C/Ds, F-15s, F-18s, F-35As, F-22s, airborne early-warning aircraft, and ground air-defense assets; alien interference, however, can sever their data links and force aircraft to operate independently. 134
• A short-range ballistic missile launched from Wake Island is intercepted by Type 3's laser system. U.S. experts attribute the failure to its Mach 4.5 terminal speed, compared with the Mach 10 Yingji-21 that Type 3 fails to intercept. 140
• The President authorizes a saturation strike of seven short-range ballistic missiles, including three nuclear warheads. Type 3 intercepts four, while two nuclear detonations destroy numerous Type 1 units and damage the vessel. 141
• The Hawaii Type 3 subsequently self-destructs during the nuclear blast; the attack devastates civilian infrastructure and disrupts exposed military antennas and radars. 144
• During the later Honolulu battle, Tomahawk strikes exhaust another Type 3's photon shield, allowing heavy penetrator bombs to destroy it and restore local communications. 165
• U.S. ground forces employ Apache helicopters, M1A2 tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, Bradley vehicles, and A-10 attack aircraft against alien creatures in Honolulu. 165 169

Pacific Withdrawal and Guam

• As Type 3 attacks spread across the Pacific, U.S. bases in the Asia-Pacific begin withdrawing forces toward the mainland. 169
• The USA transfers Guam's defense and military facilities to East University, including responsibility for surviving alien biological weapons and Modified Humans. 253
• East University later finds Guam's transferred facilities in poor condition, including malfunctioning hangars and aged equipment; its commanders suspect the rapid U.S. handover concealed additional dangers. 254

Strategic Position

• The United States retains substantial operational experience in large-scale air warfare, demonstrated by coordinated bomber, escort, and carrier-aircraft operations during the Hawaii campaign. 152
• Its prolonged war effort is constrained by aircraft and pilot losses, supply shortages, and an industrial output unable to match battlefield consumption. 297
• Lockheed Martin production lines operate at full capacity, yet remain insufficient for front-line demand; the President calls for the restoration of domestic industry. 297
• U.S. leaders consider nuclear weapons necessary when conventional forces appear unable to stop Type 3 vessels, though they also acknowledge that failure of nuclear options would force a return to conventional attrition warfare. 134
• By the campaign against the Pacific Sky Pit, the USA is unable to prevent East University's unilateral missile offensive and can only receive formal notification after the operation has begun. 359

Diplomacy and Policy

• At the United Nations, the USA proposes a United Human Fleet, along with plans to relocate allied industrial capacity and technical personnel to the American mainland. The fleet proposal fails amid disputes over command and mistrust. 56 57
• The USA invokes NATO Article 5 in response to the alien threat, but allied warships later abandon the Hawaii combat zone despite the treaty obligation. 57 134
• The President considers requesting East University’s assistance during the Hawaii crisis, but domestic political hostility toward East University makes doing so difficult. 134
• The USA and East University later coordinate bomber escorts and discuss a Pacific pincer strategy against alien forces, despite persistent mutual suspicion. 151 246
• U.S. representatives oppose East University's proposal to destroy the Pacific wormhole, prioritizing access to the oil resources discovered beyond it. 344
• Domestic conglomerates and media pressure the U.S. government to pursue those extraterrestrial resources, further limiting the President's freedom to act. 352

Intelligence and Internal Security

• American leadership investigates Liu Jun after his early alien combat successes, recognizing him as a uniquely dangerous human pilot. 54
• The USA launches internal special investigations after operatives involved in the Star Virgo incident are discovered to have defected. 63
• Alien infiltration of Hawaii's submarine-cable network center reveals an effort to access human server data and infrastructure. 159 161
• When evidence points to human-alien collusion, the FBI investigates Pfizer's Guam facility while CIA and FBI personnel compile intelligence on the suspected leak of human DNA, social, industrial, and military data. 277 287
• The President later treats internal traitors as a major obstacle to joint operations with East University and to the recovery of the national war effort. 297

Relationships

• East University — Strategic rival and indispensable wartime partner. Both sides observe formal non-interference early in the conflict, later coordinating bomber escorts, intelligence exchanges, and containment plans. 119 151 246
• NATO allies — The USA invokes Article 5 and demands support, resources, and industrial contributions, but allied forces abandon the Hawaii battle area during the crisis. 57 134
• Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern states — U.S. strategic withdrawal prompts regional powers to seek weapons, industry, and protection from East University instead. 167 174
• Guam — The USA relinquishes the island's defense to East University while alien biological threats remain active there. 251 253
• Alien civilization — Principal wartime enemy; its Type 3 vessels pressure the Hawaiian and East Pacific defense lines while its agents target American infrastructure and intelligence. 134 161 187

“Every inch of Hawaiian land will be defended, and every citizen will be protected. But this is not a battle for America alone—it is a battle for all of humanity!” 144
