With the rank of Sergeant Major, the gruff and irritable Roosevelt (commonly called Sarge) is technically the lowest ranking officer (and the only non-commissioned one) in the IJA-µ, but in practice he essentially serves as their leader due to Kennedy’s general unreliability. Pendergrass and Riley respect his capabilities and experience despite their technically outranking him, while Kennedy doesn’t realize that the others look to Sarge instead of him for guidance. He also serves the rank of Sergeant-at-arms to Colonel Goose and she considers him a trusted advisor, generally addressing him in briefings on equal (or greater) terms that Kennedy, who is technically in charge of the TEDD-IJAµ.
