Background
Edit
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]

General's challenge Edit
| “ | Come on, General. I'll show you the meaning of "death from above"! - Granger | ” |
He is easily capable of what he quotes as "Dozer hunting", rushing into an enemy base with aircraft and destroying the enemies construction units, rendering them unable to build any structures. Granger's King Raptors are incredibly dangerous to all ground vehicles, as one fully upgraded King Raptor can easily destroy an Overlord Tank with its pay load, and 2-4 can destroy most buildings except super weapon structures and command centers. His Comanches can be stealthed to either protect vital sections of his base, ambush enemies at choke points or devastate his opponents with hit and run attacks. Granger's Combat Chinooks can not only be filled with 8 infantry, but they can fire from the ports down onto any enemy within range, making Granger's Chinooks a force to be reckoned with.
In terms of upgrades and abilities, he can get the ability to carpet bomb from the beginning, and gain the A-10 Thunderbolt Strike and Spectre Gunships earlier. He can also get higher levels of the Spectre Gunship ability, allowing it to pepper a target area for a longer duration than what other generals can do.
His primary weaknesses are his inability to mount a ground based offensive on par with most other generals, and his extreme vulnerability to anti-aircraft weapons, despite his point defense laser system. Another, less obvious weakness is the amount of units he can make, as he requires a large amount of area to create air fields in order to make a large amount of king raptors, aurora bombers, or stealth bombers.
Granger requests reinforcements from a nearby aircraft carrier, the USS Olympia, if his base is invaded.
